I recently downloaded an idle game, and am shocked at how it does scratch the same itch scrolling on social media does. There are moments though when it does become addicting in that I'm craving another look at it, even when I should be focusing on other things. Also the rampant microtransactions to speed things up leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Curious how your game handles giving some of the dopamine to feel satisfied, but not overdoing it leading to just a new app to be addicted to. And hope there's no problematic pay-to-win mechanisms :) Would love to try it!
