Drop By Drop

There is a waterfall. You stand under it with a bucket.  At first the falls barely trickle, and every drop is one you clicked for. Spend what you gather on cupped hands, vials, a waterwheel — and soon the water collects itself while you watch. Once the flow is steady, you do the only sensible thing: turn the entire waterfall into milk. Each transmutation resets the trickle but keeps you climbing faster, and the falls themselves are your progress bar — you can see exactly how close the next one is.  Between prestiges there's a whole quiet little world at the water's edge:  Fish it. 30 species drift through the current. Catch them, log them in the Bestiary book. Hatch things. 18 pets from commons to legendaries. Four of them follow you around the falls at once — two on the ground, two in the air. Change your look. 35 character skins, several with their own shaders — molten gold, polar light, full television static. No ads. No timers nagging you to come back. No premium currency. Just a waterfall, a bucket, and roughly a ten-hour climb to the credits — after which it politely keeps going.
