Quick, fun little game. Has some performance issues near endgame. But for $4 it'll give you 5-7 hours of fun.

Incremental / Late term Idle Prestige - Yes, but doesn't reset anything. Increases resources gained. Active Play - Will be mostly active play for a couple hours. Later half of the game is best off idle. Visuals - Grass grows, grass gets dew, some flowers spawn, terrain gets terraformed. Special Mechanics - Neat talent tree. Cash Shop - None It's ok, it's like a candy bar you eat and forget. Getting 100% achievements is tiresome and not engaging.

It's a fun incremental game, you run around uncovering the ground and collecting resources. It's got a big upgrade tree that's nice to see expand as your dog gets progressively more powerful. BUT, I'm only at Prestige 5 (1.5 hours in) and the performance has completely wild slowdowns and performance drops. It's a pixel art game, so it's really surprising to see such bad lag. I'm using a 4090 and 7800X3D, so it's definitely a game optimization issue. There is a 'Low FPS' option in the menu that turns off the grass/flower animations that fixes the lag quite a bit, but later on in the game even this doesn't fix all the slowdown. Hoping to see this fixed before I pick up and finish the game because it really ruins the gameplay as is, the lag is not an FPS thing, instead the dog slows down and all the stuff sort of locks up.
