You gotta wait for it to fly towards the middle to be able to click on it.  It activates one of your powers randomly without initiating cool down I think.

This is the best click/wait/upgrade game I have ever played and I have played most of them. You won't notice this on your first run tho, the first run is a bitch.
Ok, seriously, I don't know what it is but this game is currently keeping me from playing anything else. I want to stop playing but I can't.

You know how sometimes you read scifi stories and they have some kind of chip or machine that just activates the pleasure center of your brain, so instead of watching TV, or playing games people just turn it on and do nothing and enjoy it more than anything else?

Yeah, that's what this is - and that's not a joke. These clicker type games give you the illusion of ever-increasing progress, which manipulates your brain's reward center into giving you a constant, steady drip of dopamine. Dopamine is a powerful reward chemical, which is why you enjoy the "game" so much even though it's blatantly obvious how pointlessly stupid it is.

It's exactly why MMOs are addictive, but they've distilled it into something that's cheap to make, cheap to expand infinitely, and that they can perfectly control the dose of for maximum addiction.

I basically stopped after my first revive... when I realized it barely made a difference.

old one (thread) but I found it (the game) yesterday...is there any b12-clan or something?
I don't know how long I will "play" this...but I want to see what I can do with clans and the "Find a random clan"-button is broken.
