It's kinda sad that they abandoned this game, it's good up until you get all the GR upgrades, and then you just kinda run out of stuff to do. The rank 5 ascension requirements scale so slowly that it might as well not scale at all, and you get to a point where you can max out the expansion tab in minutes. This combined with 1 run where you max all 3 islands, and there's just no reason not to ascend after maxing expansion. This wouldn't be a problem if there was more content, but I'm pretty sure you can tell nothing is coming soon by the update logs. 4/5, good game, I wish it was longer.
tip for newbies: solidifier w/ instakill skill in workshop is the best way to progress through insanity. make sure to awaken once for hyper compression though, if you dont you'll regret it.
it took me many weeks of leaving my computer focused on this game to reach insanity 100k, but now I'm doing it again. lets see if you can beat me to it. (if you've unlocked it you can probably beat me)
here is how to run the game while tabbed out: bring ngu to a different window, then open whatever else you want to use, and then shrink and click ngu tab to give it focus. note: you wont be able to interact with tab behind ngu because of focus, so this is ideal for watching videos, but not much else.
its a good game but, it took me a bit to get past the start screen... could you add some sorta play/start button for new players? i spent 9 minutes on that screen.
