Really geekily addictive

I got very sucked into this game, if can call it a game... it’s more of a simulator. But i really enjoyed it. It gives you an idea of what exponential growth is like if you’re into that kinda thing... AI taking over the world and using all of our resources to make Paperclips and stuff... it’s not for everyone but I’d recommend it.

DRONE BUG FIX

This game is fun but has some bugs, one is in stage 2 where the drones gifts replace trust, if the drones get bored at one part they give you 10 gifts per second until it gets to NAN (not a number) and you can't level up processors and memory and so breaks the game, to stop this, wait until you get lots of gifts (I went to 18,000) and then press ENTERTAIN THE SWARM wich then stop the gifts

Highly addictive

It’s not everyone’s type of game, I bought this to try, didn’t think it would be great but I haven’t stopped playing it, it’s about making a product to make money, the more money the more power. It’s a interesting game, I’d like to see more to the game.

2018-12-23

Great experience

Took me 10 hours to complete. Surprisingly deep and very addictive. Bargain at 2 quid

Bit like lemonade tycoon, but a better game.

2018-12-09

Don’t release the drones

I released the drones and now can’t sell any Paperclips or do anything I can’t even start over again. Someone help me

2018-11-27

Brilliant!

Brady and CGP Grey were right, this game is amazing! I can't stop playing!

2018-10-30

Great game but ....

As others have said, the game is great and has plenty of fun twists, BUT the iPad app is a lazy port that is a fixed portrait layout.

This means that you have lots of scrolling up and down to see when new stuff appears. The web page works much better as you can rotate that and get a zoomed out full screen view. Plus it’s free.

Real shame.

2018-10-19

Brilliant gameplay

It’s lovely to see games that have got the gameplay so right.

Completely addictive.

No graphics? Who cares? 5/5!!!

2018-10-14

good game but..

:::SPOILERS::

delete game and reinstall to reset game from scratch!

very good and i built the hypnodrones in under 5 hours but thats waaaaaaaaay to early for that stage of the game and i can build 2 things, cant go back. so what now..? thinking it would just x20 my public demand or something i did it and nope, ruined the game as i cant do anything now, mabey add a feature where it saves before and lets you restart there..? bit harsh to dump me like that as i didnt know. game allows you to shoot the fun in the head and it costing real money isnt good

Good, but slow

Was hoping to play this more reliably on the mobile app (prevents zooming now which is great!) but times seems take 3x or longer than stated, so progress is slow once you get in into it!

2018-08-11

Love this game

This game is great, although it does use up a lot of battery, it’s addictive and engaging, I recommend it to everyone!

2018-07-20

Very Addictive and then flawed.

Game froze/locked up once I got to the probe section. Buttons did nothing and I could not even activate the game reset because I had no chance of reaching -10k

It was impossible to get lower than 130k!

So great for 5 hours and then locked up :(

2018-06-24

Too slow and no time passes in idle.

It’s a cool and engrossing clicker but the fact that time doesn’t pass when you’re not in the app makes it mind numbing to the point where I just can’t do it anymore. In a browser I can imagine it working a lot better.

2018-05-27

Great game, worth every penny

Saw this game for the last month or so and was quite apprehensive about buying it, let’s face it, it looks rubbish, but boy was a wrong, the simplistic html style layout actually makes it good, very satisfying to play, couldn’t put it down for hours, perfect for playing on the train or bus, but don’t play before bed because you might end up staying up till 5!

2018-04-11

Great game, with a game-breaking bug.

I played this a lot, but in Stage 2, in which drones' gifts replace trust, I got 'Drone Gifts' to NaN (Not a Number), so I got stuck. If you fixed this, my review would go up to 5 stars.

2018-03-27

Needs a proper iPad version.

I’ve just completed this on my iPhone & have migrated to my iPad thinking it would have a better layout with more info on one screen...but this is not so, which is disappointing. The scrolling up & down on the iPhone version is a really drag so I was looking forward to having more of my paperclip empire on one screen. Sad to see this is not the case.

2018-03-12

Addictive game

All the addiction of bar filling games, without the in app purchases.

Seems to have been developed very well so rarely do you not have something to decide to aim for, without too long a wait.

Would love a way to see previous game scores and times for certain amounts of clips. Graphs please!

2018-02-18

Difficult but rewarding

Don’t give up, there is a way to keep going.

So good.

Can’t hold enter like PC version

On the OC you can click a button then hold enter to rapid select, without that feature you end up pressing buttons hundreds of times. I quickly sacked off the mobile app and completed it in the computer in much less time. It also meant I could leave it running in the background so less hassle again.

I failed to complete the app as it was annoying but I’ve completed the PC version more than 10 times!

2017-12-14

Still seems to have some big bugs

Bad game, seems to have some big bugs in the game my creativity has reset to -200000 and won’t let me progress. Nowhere does there seem to be a game restart from scratch.

DEV Support does not respond to emails about problems. I would not install!

2017-12-12

Game fails to resume

I've played this three times, once I completed it, the other times the game fails to resume and messed up.

Interesting resource management game but ultimately disposable.

2017-12-05

Great game, but needs adapting for iPad

I bought this to play on my iPad. I was very disappointed it doesn’t do anything to take advantage of the screen space. The buttons are about as big as a fun size Mars Bar, the text is huge and you need to scroll all over the place to see what is going on.

This is easily a 5 Star game if it replicated the browser layout, with three columns and all elements visible at once.

2017-12-04

Website is better than iPad offering

iPad offering is just a large iPhone. It lacks three column layout useful to view all the metrics. Shame that the iPad offering is on a par with web version.

Other features seem to be less tpgood than website, eg Rev counter doesn’t display “Avg clips sold per sec” also available on webs version.

2017-12-02

Brilliant. Addictive.

Loved every clip.

2017-11-24

Why am I getting ads. I paid 1.99 for this game

Bought this a week ago and with the new update they are giving me ads... even thought I paid for the game. Come on dev

2017-11-21

Interesting

Interesting game that I couldn't put down until its conclusion, which left me feeling empty and a little depressed. What the hell is yomi though? :)
