Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)
This was an interesting game! I really like what you did with the graphics, and the animation for the "steal byte" effect was really nice.
The thing is, though, that the fundamental loss state for a clicker game is "inefficiency in reaching my goal," i.e. spending a longer time playing than one wants to. When you don't have any apparent goal (I got all the way down to purchasing the code injection feat), this subverts the entire aim of the genre. Additionally, new items are usually unveiled in order to create a feeling of excitement, rather than letting the player see the entire echelon of powerups straight off the bat.
However, your balance is pretty good, and though I personally don't like clicker games that much (as you have probably guessed by now ._.), this one was a lot less tedious than most of the others I've played previously.
Off-theme
I wish that game has more gameplay
