Bad experience on iPad Pro
This game is great, but the UI is terrible on my iPad Pro. The game used to display very well, but an update last year ruined it. Parts of the screen are unused and you need to scroll down to read item descriptions.
Boring and frustrating
I played for a few hours while trying to decipher good strategies or synergies. I never once got a good synergy going as there are so many pieces. Not a bit of dopamine. And the touch screen buttons had to be hit many times to work?
Horrible rng
The only way to win the higher ascension levels is explicitly getting lucky. You can play it perfectly game after game and just get shafted for absolutely no reason. Was obscenely easy until ascension level 11, and now I’ve been stuck there for 13 games (literally have only ever lost one other time, and that was on level 10)
Doing my part comrade!
I don’t want this game to seek too much or you might enjoy capitalism too much.
iPad version UI needs work
While I absolutely love this game on the phone, the iPad version needs a fix to the UI. Cuts off item descriptions and you need to scroll down to read what each symbol does. There’s no practical need for this, since there is ample screen to use if it were resized properly.
Great game. UI bugged on iPad
I think the base game is great. It doesn’t appear to be updated or balanced anymore but it’s still good. The reason for the low review is that the UI is cutoff and on iPad. It makes it virtually unplayable on iPad. I’ve tried contacting the dev and not heard back. Disappointing!
Needs Improvements
I know low res graphics are a style choice, but this game needs better resolution to differentiate between symbols.
It is very hard to decipher what each card does, and tapping inside the description is infuriatingly small.
There are some animation speed adjustments, but I want to see the money collected from each icon slowly, so I can figure out what is actually happening. It would be nice to tap to collect the money.
It is never clear when I can use the remove button.

Repetitive and boring
Not worth the money tbh. Some synergies are far better than others and take an ungodly amount of time to finish. If there was a way to skip the animations it would be good.
Shallow strategy, overly simple
The game has a fun and original take on the genre, but the strategy is very shallow and has very little replayability. Overpriced for what amounts to an hour of gameplay at most
