There was an Incremental Game Jam themed around this premise...

Not very well balanced, kind of just a clickfest. Here's what my gameplay looked like: spend red to upgrade red production speed. This upgrade is infinitely repeatable, so spam click it until red fills in one frame. Then you have to trade red production speed for green, so spam click that upgrade until red no longer fills in one frame, then spam click red speed upgrade to get it back up again. Then trade green fill speed for whatever the next color was, then I got tired of spam clicking old colors to increase a speed value that's not even shown to the player so I could trade that for speed of a higher color, so I stopped playing. There were some other upgrades, but everything only costs one of whatever resources it takes obviously, so they were basically free, no real decisions to make there. Just kinda boring and tedious?

Does it make sense to give a timeloop game a "no prestige" tag?...

Great game, but the prestige kind of kills it for me? For me, these are long-haul games, where you spend time building out your stats. But here, if it's not pushing you closer to the prestige, or for the prestige perk you're choosing, it's largely wasted effort.

I believe this is a good game from what I can tell, but the web version seems to have broke :(

My CSS Styles: ```css div.list.svelte-62uor0 { flex-wrap: wrap; padding-right: 2em; } div.resource.svelte-g7x8d0 { zoom: 0.9; } .upgrade.svelte-3sbd7n:has( .description span.circle.icon[style*='#CC0000'] ) { grid-column-start: 1; } .upgrade.svelte-3sbd7n:has( span.icon:nth-child(7) ):nth-of-type(1) { grid-column-start: 1; } div.list.svelte-1h8t3jd { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, 12em); padding: 1rem 1rem; } ```

For those curious about the game but not ready to commit, I have good news! A **free demo** is *now* available on Steam: <https://store.steampowered.com/app/3499760/BubbleByte/> It features the first hour or so o...

I’d recommend giving it a shot if you’re curious about a fresh concept. However, the gameplay feels quite shallow, and the UI isn’t particularly appealing. At its core, it doesn't stray far from other incremental games—the only real difference is swapping big numbers for long wait times. That said, the first few minutes were enjoyable, but after an hour, the experience started to lose its charm.

Just not good, though to be fair to the dev it was their first game, and it's made with scratch so it could easily have been much worse

good concept but even though it's short it becomes tedious and repetitive towards the end

It's an interesting take on the scenario of an incremental without big numbers. Automation upgrades are few and far between, and feel like they work against you in the long run as they reduce the benefit of 50% boost per full resource. Configuration options, or just a smarter behaviour by default, would be good (i.e. don't boost resource B if it would take A's refill time below X milliseconds). It would be nice if the recharge time of each resource was shown somewhere. This would allow us to prioritise and balance how to progress. I see it's shown in a tooltip if you hover over each resource, but an option to have this permanently in view would be good. EDIT after playthrough: I was a little harsh and didn't give the automation a fair chance. For the size and scale of the game it works fine, and lets you have some idle time between the later tiers. It helps active play a bit, though maybe not as much as I'd have liked - I still had fun though.

This is my favorite incremental, a small enough story to contain a wonderfully expanding network of interconnected resources.

One of the best incremental games focused around Magic 10/10

Short and sweet with a good style

This is an iOS-only game, it should not be tagged as a Windows game....

i like the ui and graphics and its pretty unique. going to play more over the next few days for sure.

menu simulator

Not really an idle game....

I tried playing twice. Both times it froze or restarted while I walked away, and there's apparently no saving. So I didn't finish. Seemed okay otherwise, though less whimsical than the original....

Quite bad i would say, there's a lot of clicking, the menus dont look that good the text boxes are weirdly spaced, early on the sect contribution and cultivation is a problem, but you can just ignore any exploration, you can just focus on cultivating and doing some 30 day per sect point every other year when you low on it. The game is really simple the more you cultivate the easier it is to breakthrough, you dont even need to farm or explore anything till you reach a point you need to unlock the meridian layer, for that you will explore the thunder map, but sadly the content ends there. And when you die there's literally nothing, the game dint loop or do anything other than a blank/static background, guess that was the end point. A lot less content than most prototypes ive ever seen, specially if you consider that you will just be clicking cultivation, stat increase, meditation and after one or two decades a breakthrough, so in terms of content this dont really have much but the small amount of content it has gets dragged in a slow grind for hours.
