I bought this game because I wanted something to help me get in a rhythm while I was reading for my comprehensive exams. As a clicker, it turned out to be way more engaging than I expected, even if that meant I didn't get as much reading done as I expected. Normally I don't care for games that make you rehash the same part over and over again, but this game implemented its prestige system excellently. Managing the pile so that it compounds on itself at the right time is such an interesting mechanic. It made it where the goal was not just exponential growth, but navigating windows of alternating growth and preparation. Also, adding a new color each time the boulder compacts made the game visually more interesting than I would have expected from the beginning. The prestige system also makes it that when things start slowing down too much, you can simply start over the progression, but the next time you get to where you last ended much quicker. Also, the prestige systems helps you experiment to find the various interesting perk combinations. I didn't quite finish the game, but I what I saw of it was engaging and I enjoyed my time with it.
