The very nice first hour into the game. Good visuals, good user interface... You have things going on smoothly, you feel the progress, you are unlocking new stuff piece by piece...

And then you hit the wall. Somewhere around level 50. And now you have to reset your progress, to transfer it to some red gems. Turns out that those red gems help you accumulate more money while you do your restart from level one. And at the same time, you need that new money plus accumulated red gems to invest in upgrades! And that's how you supposed to play: 50 levels -1 hour grind, restart, then 1 hour more to get to level 52, then again restart, make it to level 55... After 16 hours, I'm at level 67, and yeah, have to restart once again.

Know what? I've seen that rhythm before. In Clicker Heroes after level 2000, in Time Clickers after level 400, and so on. The point is - the wall was introduced much later in the process and the duration of one cycle was much longer in many other clicker games. And when for every cycle of restarting you need to click more and more... It is not an idle game, by definition.

I can easily grant to Firestone developers that they have made nice-looking clicker and very good bait and hook! But... people, it's not an idle game. Firestorm actually expects you to check things every 10-30 minutes or less, or to play it full-time. But why you have to do this, when you have so many more games around, of much greater capabilities?

Oh, and I've said the UI there is good, well, it's quite lame sometimes, like when you occasionally click buff bottles, over and over again.

All in all, it's a 5.8/10 mark from me, and the sincerest downvote. The devs asking of too much, even if my time is expendable, I still don't have enough to invest it into endless and fruitless 2-bit time loops.
