Game is as fun as the trailer and delivers very high intensity fun for about ~3-5 hours. Def recommend this one. It's not just a slop game, it actually has substance.
Only "con" is that the upgrades and progression is very linear and pretty much guarantees that you finish the game within 4 runs regardless of skill or luck.
Not bad at all, I give it a 7.7/10

Short, nothing special, just like the 6 other incrementals that come out every day. Was hoping for more. Its like they make them just long enough for no refunds. Ive seen more content in a free roblox gameShow moreShow less

I bought this game to support the developers after hearing the demo was decompiled and redistributed on the Chinese version of TikTok long before the official games release. It's a very simple yet fun game, think of it like Whack-A-Mole meets Vampire Survivors. There's also a level of strategy involved in knowing when to upgrade and when to pay bills. Highly recommend.Show moreShow less

It's fine. 4 hours to 100% achievements. Winning the game is locked behind meta progression so you need to do several runs to win (it took me five runs).
If you don't like it within the first 5 minutes, it's not going to change your mind because it's just more of the same. Hitting the pigs doesn't feel great because of the wonky targeting and it becomes guesswork as the game goes on because the target is on the board and the board becomes layered with coins and pigs which obscure the target.
My biggest gripe is a lot of the features are irrelevant. Leveling pigs seems like it's going to be a big deal but you get new, better pigs all the time and levels don't carry between runs so it's pretty useless. Every pig has a special thing, but you just kill whatever happened to spawn anyway so it doesn't matter. Most of the skill unlocks are just 'more damage' or 'more loot' and costs are exponential so you just buy what you can afford and move on.
Fine as a time waster, but not something I would advocate for and not something that deserves 'overwhelmingly positive'. 5/10Show moreShow less

100%'d the game in under 3 hours which is a little bit faster than I would like, but the game itself is very fun, wish more loops were required.Show moreShow less

I got 100% of Achievements by the 3rd run... the progression is actually quite awful, I didn't even get to feel what 80% of relics did because I unlocked all of them in bulk by the 3rd run. The upgrades weren't even meaningful, they were like "increase chance by 2%".
It is an actual charming game, and breaking piggy banks was quite satisfying, and I was really excited starting the 2nd run, but since I unlocked everything so quickly, I lost interest and had no reason to play again. If it had more content, or the upgrades were actually interesting, I would give it a positive review.Show moreShow less

I always thought I had a pretty high tolerance for dopamine.
Turns out, that was nothing more than a baseless delusion. It took less than four hours for a stupid little piggy bank to drive me mad.
There's nothing idle about this game. For the next four hours, you'll be working harder than you've ever worked in your life.Show moreShow less

I usually love incremental short games, especially seeing numbers go up. Maybe it's just me but I find the loop of this one incredibly boring. It was fun for the first 20 minutes, then felt like a chore.Show moreShow less
