I bought this game on a whim after seeing very little about it about it in various places. After putting almost 13 hours in, I can say without a doubt, you should play this game. It's so, so much more than what it seems on the surface. Whether you are going for 100% completion or just doing a single play through, it is worth seeing. My absolute game of the year 2024. Please play it.

This is by far best asset flip I've ever seen.

Broken/10.

In what seems to be a trend for games this year, Sakura Clicker is a game about Life, Death, and Rebirth. More than anything it is a game that makes you think about lifes deeper questions.

When you first start the game, it appears to scale at breakneck speed. You start off doing a small amount of damage and before you know it the enemies have hundreds of thousands of health, very similar to the way, as you grow older, time seems to move faster and your eventually look back on your life and wonder just where did all that time go? Our lives are over in the blink of an eye and Sakura Clicker is here to remind of that mortality.

When an enemy girl is defeated she lets out a moan, sometimes sounding frustrated and sometimes not. A moan that tells she wish had more time, whether or not she had regrets, whether or not she felt fullfilled as she leaves the mortal coil. That is at least until you see the same Fairy you defeated just a little while ago. Is it her daughter perhaps? Her grandchild? Was she reborn anew as the circle of life countinues?

Unlike the big "Triple A" games that are released today, Sakura Clicker isn't afraid to explore the larger questions. To do a deep dive into what video games are. To question who we all are. It's not afraid to be what it is and asks you, the player, to do the same.

If anything could, beyond the shadow of a doubt, prove that games ARE ART. This would be that game.

A fun but very veruy difficult game that appears to have been made by someone who very much loved numbers. I could think of a feature or two I would like added it's certaintly worth trying and well worth the price.
