However, despite its shortcomings still, it is definitely without-a-doubt more polished and more friendly than it was. So long as Kuzzi keeps up the pace of development and changes, it will eventually feel very nice to play and experience.
And, in my final note, I just wanted to add a note about AI being used in games and in game development....
Who cares? If the game is completely and utterly written by AI - you will know and it will be trash.
If there are some aspects of the game that have used/are using AI but most/all of the game feels fine despite that... why does it matter? After seeing the countless, mindless drivel of posts from anywhere on Gal.click or IncrDB talking about AI used in this or that. It's exhausting; it's a waste of your energy and there are better things to critique than the usage of AI.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk.
I enjoy the progression, and the theme is more entertaining than most incremental games I have played. But every time I progress in the story all I can think of is how much it reads like LLM generated text. Because the tool tips and item shop descriptions don't have that feel, its just the story segments.

developer response: Currently I have volunteer artists helping submit their drawings to replace the AI art. Join our Discord channel if you want to get involved.
Redraw stat buffs exist, but they don't feel overly impactful even when I've dumped in 10 million points over various stats.
Initially the growth from killing stuff feels fitting for the enemy's stats, but later on it's just... I'm not sure what the word for it is, so I'll go with [scuffed]. It feels very uneven.
The enemy rarity thing initially seems interesting, but then you find out that previously discovered ones also just disappear on the next reset. So you might've just had a great reset with plenty of bonuses and allowing you to go a couple of steps further, followed by a reset without anything extra and making you feel handicapped.
Rather than the extras feeling like a reward, the lack of them feels like a punishment to me. That's not even mentioning several of the prestige upgrades being locked behind you beating a certain number of these rare spawns, so if you're somehow comically unlucky you're going to be doing a lot of resets.
The passive resource gain so far also feels rather underwhelming. I see some upgrades later on that seem to promise finally getting more than 0.1/s, but they are well outside of my reach for the foreseeable future.
developer response: The game barely even resembles what it was at the time of this comment.
