Rotate the camera by holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse.

Upgrade your stats and Ella's stats by clicking on the buttons in the "Ascensions" box.

Have fun by playing the game.

Really good game, I thought I would play for 30 seconds, but I stayed for 5 minutes, good work guys ;)

I loved the visuals, the alliteration in the descriptions ("dirt destroyed," "diamonds deleted," "gold gleaned," etc.), and especially the fact that Ella visibly animates faster when you increase her speed. Music is great too and fits well. Very charming and atmospheric take on the idle/clicker genre. My only suggestion is that it's kind of hard to read some of the text, especially in the "ascensions" box where it's light grey text over a white button. Otherwise, excellent job!

This was a super addicting idle clicker. WHo doesnt love to see the numbers go higher! No way to exit the game without a hard exit!

Super chill and spot on addictive cookie-clicker/clicker game. Music is super chill and really sets a wonderful mood, perfect to have on in the background whilst Ella keeps on diggin' :D. What is it with us humans loving to see numbers increase haha! So moreish! Great job to you all.

Really nice and relaxing game, I always wanted to get more and more levels on my ascensions ^^ It was hard to read some texts though because it was really small :( But the game was awesome & so cute anyway!!

Relaxing game love the colors, character, and blocks especially
I like the vague story that you're this character in space on a pillar of rocks. It makes me want to know more about Ella. I hope you plan to expand on this!

The only issue I had was the text on the left being too small

(also: how the luck works?)
