Nice little incremental game! I liked finding the balancing between spending karma for more karma value and keeping it to raise my multiplier. Well made game!

How does your game tie into the extra theme (optional)
The mathematical concept of the root combined with the concept of the root of all evil (yes, the pitch is a pun)

Took me by surprise, in a great way ! And it worked just fine on the phone!
Really unique game, but really interesting. Nice use of the extra theme "roots" ahah
Broooo this reminds me of when I used to play cookie clicker in middle school
An interesting concept, though I think it would need a tiny bit more upgrades for destroying the root itself! Good incremental game nontheless!
Somehow these numbers are really addicting... Good job I suppose! After a while I was just spamming the prestige button, I'm not sure if that's how it was meant to be played when you made the game. I have the feeling the whole game could look a little more autumn-ish if you just changed the main colors and the layout a little bit, but it's well done with the time pressure in mind. I like the little activist wink in the game, too bad that we live in a world where we have to fight for all these things.
This is what happens when you destroy all the evil. I ended up with negative karma gain and couldn't buy anything.
