I kind of feel like there’s little to do except press more buttons? Like, I get that it’s an idle game, but even cookie clicker at least looks entertaining.

The game goes through several phase changes as you progress.

That's good to hear, because right now I'm playing it by placing something heavy on the M key.

Cookie Clicker just has so many little surprises which keeps it engaging. I don't generally like idle games but I love Cookie Clicker.

Yes, it does seem that way at first. A minor spoiler: this game has its own DSL to script things, eventually.
