Its taken me on the greater side of 2 and a hours to get to the sextillions and only then after several ascensions. I have to agree with the other previous posters, there feels like a major slowdown after completing stage 1. I'm not sure if its a balance issue with the upgrades or what. Having a total $/s metric would be nice, even if for s**ts'n'giggles. Additionally, clicking releases a "$" graphic, but does it serve an actual in game purpose?
