This is not just a game. It's a statement on current world. And if you, yes, whoever is reading this! If you don't want to live in a world where rich people destroy the planet for profit, fight back. You can, anyone can! (assuming your country is democratic) Look into things that happen in your country, read how it affects you and the environment, and If you think your government is doing something wrong, tell them - show them why they are doing something bad, it might be obvious to you, but it is not to them! It's like Sun Tzu's "Art of War", many people say he states obvious facts that any military man or even ordinary person can understand, but that book was not for them - it was for nobles. They don't know what is a battle and they do not know what is hunger. Same is true for politicians, they do not know what 996 means. They do not know why you want to own your digital life, they do not know why you don't want a data center in your back yard. Contact your government, tell them what you think they do right and what they do wrong.

The entire game is themed after "Broken World". It is about a planet that breaks and the player has to fix it again.

Very well said! At first I just wanted to add funny/sarcastic descriptions to the upgrades and I didn't mean to make the game so political but it just fit too well into the whole theme and in the end creating art (games, music, pictures whatever) is all about expressing your feeling so I went with it. The things mentioned in the game are exaggerated sure, but they are very real problems in the world. Just look at inflation or how the split between the rich and the poor gets bigger and bigger every year and most of us have faced or will have to face those issues at one point of their live.
At first I though this was a regular clicker game, and was wondering how the 'broken planet' theme was implemented. It turns out that it was a regular clicker game (although it was a funny game), and the broken planet theme was quite obvious.
The planet exploding was fun. I think that the idle workers were a little slow in generating money, but I'm not sure. Overall pretty fun to play.
i don't really play clicker games, but this one got me good. i liked the story and the twist where the planet fuckin breaks apart as the player thinks "oh cool i just click the planet". the text for all the upgrades, the workers, everything purchasable is top notch too. great game overall, i enjoyed it a lot.
Even though I’m not especially fond of idle games, I enjoyed your game. I think the progression is a little slow in the beginning but that’s just a preference. The planet exploding made it even better. Going into it, I thought, it was going to be tedious idle game- farming awaiting me, but giving it more narrative helped the game a lot. Nice Game
Thanks for giving it a try even though you aren't fond of these games and don't worry about sounding too formal or harsh or something. I am all here for the feedback! I did plan to make it so that the player can build the first bridge quickly and then add more story and new upgrades or interactions whenever the player connects a new shard to make the game more interactive but yeah 2 days weren't enough for that. Thanks again for playing and giving your opinion!
