Clicker Ore

Honestly way better than I expected. At first it looks like another basic clicker game, but the progression is actually pretty satisfying and you always have something new to unlock or upgrade. The biggest thing for me is that upgrades actually feel useful. You buy something and you can directly feel the difference instead of waiting forever for numbers to move. I also like that the game doesn't throw 50 different systems at you in the first 5 minutes. It's simple, you understand what you need to do, but there is still enough stuff to keep you playing. I opened it thinking I would play for like 10 minutes and somehow I was still playing almost an hour later. That "ok just one more upgrade" feeling works really well here. There are still some parts that could use more content later on, but for a clicker game this is honestly one of the more enjoyable ones i've played recently. Very simple concept but executed well.

A good idler to check in on every now and then to get the "oooo bigger number" fix. There's microtransactions but they are cheap and seem reasonable. Pushing the limit on price worth for what you get though. Certainly don't like that there's a (optional) subscription that makes the game like 4x faster. But that's the only real complaint I have.

Nope... and the audacity to put a P2W cashshop in this xD

Technically competent, there's nothing much to say about it on this topic, not experienced any bugs, nor any excessive resource usage. [h1]Voicework[/h1] NA - None [h1]Overall Review[/h1] Now, I will have to assume that this game is the work of a single developer, or a very small team, which would go some way to explaining the issues present here, as there's quite a few. None of them technical, just balancing and features. Let's start with what you'll immeidately notice... you progress QUICKLY. Way too quickly. Within the first hour you should probably prestige and then just keep prestiging everytime it takes more than 10 seconds between upgrades and progress on mining, and you'll get through most everything really quickly. Most of my playing time are from me working on something else while playing this, and if you don't actively babysit the game, progress stops pretty much after like half an hour. Next up is the heat mechanic... Why? Just... Why? It's a seperate menu that you'll go into if you're looking for achievements, since there are tasks that involves buying a large amount of them, but usually... you just activate auto buying and never think about it again. It may as well not be there. Dev, please do something with this. Finally, we have the premium stuffs. This is a free2play game, and the dev needs to make money somehow... but the above doesn't really make users likely to buy anything... unless they want achievements. As of right now, the game has no method to gain premium currency through normal gameplay in any way, yet it got several achievements bound to gaining and using them, which, if we translate that to a understandable language, is basically paying for achievements... No... Just no. I do not mind spending a small amount of money, maybe like 20 bucks or so, on microtransactions for a game, but it has to be enjoyable for me without paying for me to be so inclined, and this really wasn't... and to add to that, the achievements thing just give me a bad taste in my mouth. Now, to give the developer some cushioning here, the most recent update has adjusted balancing, and the Developer has replied to a thread I made in the steam forums, claiming that ways to earn gems are coming at a later time, though provided game success. This game is not early access, it is a full release, and I'll treat it as such, but do take note about this if you're reading this into the future. [/code]

Was expecting another clicker game where you play 15 minutes and then everything becomes super slow, but this one actually kept me playing much longer than I thought. The progression feels pretty good, especially when you start stacking upgrades and suddenly things that looked expensive before becomes basically nothing. I like that there is always some small thing to work for, even if its just another upgrade or unlocking the next area. Game is also simple in a good way. You don't need to read 20 menus just to understand what is happening. I can open it, play a bit, buy some stuff and close it again without feeling like I missed something important. There is definitely some things that could be improved and later game can get a little repetitive, but honestly thats also normal for this type of game. For me the important part is if clicking numbers going up still feels good after a while, and here it does. Not perfect but surprisingly addictive. I already played way more than I planned to.

This is a free game where you just click. It's addictive for me. It's free you either like it or not at no cost to you.

progress felt like repetition not progress.
