What do you mean there are no upgrades? Every stage has 5 upgrades. You upgrade them until you get enough to unlock next ascension stage. You can always go back and max out previous ones for achievements. That's how idle clicker games work, you wait.

If something is not for you, then that's no reason to leave a negative review. It simply isn't for you, doesn't make it bad.
And if you ever played CookieClicker you'd see what tedious really means. I made this game 10x faster than CookieClicker. In CC it takes 24h to reach 1st ascension, in this game it takes you less than an hour. Plus the game is in development, new updates will come once I find time for it. The game was born out of a funny idea regarding pigs.
