Ethereal Ascension invites you into a mystical realm where the fundamental energies of existence flow through your fingertips, waiting to be harnessed and shaped by your will. As a seeker of power in this ethereal dimension, you'll channel essence, create realms, collect artifacts, explore dungeons, and ultimately transcend the mortal plane through multiple ascensions.
Start your adventure by channeling Etheric Essence - the fundamental energy of all creation. With each click, you harness more power, slowly building your reservoir of mystical energy.

Been on the site since it came out. This game singlehandedly made me make an account just to comment. I'm going to keep it short for the sake of brevity the game.js //notes alone are damning I don't think this game is just "LLM assisted" as the Author states. I'm throwing the accusation that all of it is. Although I don't personally play his other game "Immoral Attack", I'm confident that he has the ability to code better than this.
Probably should make Ascension use Total Essence used in the current run. Otherwise, you can just spam click Ascension to trivialize the flow.
developer response: Thanks for your insights! I have seen people reporting this but thanks to your comment - I actually understand. I'll get that fixed, one of my updates broke it along the way lol
Now and forever against AI slop.
What in the AI is this game description
This feels vibe coded. The UI looks like something Websim would make, and the gameplay feels like the only kind of incremental Websim can make: Cookie clicker.

The whole game just screams "completely AI generated".
- Too much theme, too much filter and sugarcoating. Even the names of the buttons, realms, dungeons and everything with all the pointlessly detailed forced mystical theme is just something an AI would come up with.
- Not to mention it has a terrible pacing. Everything just feels unearned from the very start, the permanent/ascension bonuses and artifacts are pretty much the same as any other upgrades, they just won't reset.
- Even the description has such a completely inhuman, pristine "advertisement" vibe it almost falls off the screen.
This is a 2/5 at best sorry. Not unplayable, but... well... just nothing.
This game really likes using incredibly flowery text that has a real problem of never quite getting to the point (seriously, look at that description, my eyes glaze over as each bog-standard feature is hyped up in excruciating detail). But like, the actual systems are...
They're Cookie Clicker. You've played this before. Sure, buildings are "realms", and upgrades are "artifacts", and prestige is "power", but... it's still Cookie Clicker.
I guess there's a dungeon exploring feature early on? Once you get past the initial shock of having an incomprehensible UI presented to you all at once, you quickly realize it's pretty much just another active way of gaining cookies- i mean "essence", and all of the "combat" and "stats" are about as deep as a puddle (it boils down to "click attack and eventually you will win any fights")
i suspect significant portions of this were outright AI generated. it's not quite a 1/5 because like, the UI generally isn't bad and it could maybe be something unique with enough time and effort, but like. yeah i've played this before. dozens of times.
nice game description. where'd you get it from? the game description store?
