Either this is the worst-paced game ever or it is completely broken, but when after one hour it's still just adding ants, then there is nothing to do.

Games I finished...

You play minesweeper normally for a few minutes before automating it. Not much use to automating a puzzle game, as the joy is solving it yourself. Minesweeper themed idle game. Cute, but would rather just play minesweeper.

Quite good, especially for a game made in a week lol. I hope the dev polishes it up and makes it a real game sometime. Fun for a few hours.

Perfect, not sure what else to say here.

At the crossroads, don't turn left....

It's okay. Interesting version of an upgrade tree, but very linear. Not incredibly confusing, unless you're trying to find out why your score is increasing. Worth a try, but needs some work.

Very, very well made. I wish there was more to it! It does get kind of repetitive, but it's definitely worth a play.

Wow, extreme potential, demo is already lots of fun. Really looking forward to the release in january.

A game that a computer would like. Just to put into perspective, ignoring the lowest 1,5x (so common) and the highest 10x (so rare): - 2x2x2 = 8x - 3x3x3 = 27x - 4x4x4 = 64x - 5x5x5 = 125x by the third row, getting 5's would complete a goal in a minute when getting 2's would take 15. The average is a 4 (again, ignoring the 10x and the abysmal 1.5x). So you have a 50% chance to get below average boosts. Now factor in the 1.5x, it makes your cool game task go from one minute to 40 minutes. Just because AI can't understand that concept yet so it coded 2/3/4/5 and a kinda low 1.5 and a really exciting 10. In the end you just get disappointment.

These are some prototypes / demos, recent or old, that has gotten my attention lately. ...

Mom can I play Gnorp? No we have Gnorp at home. Gnorp at home: this game

This is shaping up to be one of my favorite incremental games since magic researcher 2. The story driven aspect of it is excellent. I am optimizing resource paths because I NEED to know what happens next.

Shows promise. Right now there's not much to do. There's three upgrades, three spells (which also double in cost per cast so they are basically upgrades with expiration dates) and three post-prestige (pink) upgrades -- the game is pretty aggressively linear. It seems to be under active development, and the Combos introduced in the latest version provide a fresh mechanic, but it's a grind to get there -- they unlock close to the end of available content, about half an hour of a total 2-to-6 hour game. There are also a few rough UI edges. There's no automation for the blue upgrades, so every prestige requires about 75 clicks to max your kit back out. The random roll for row bonuses provides needed interactivity, and it's a good gameplay element overall, but it requires a great deal of churn to reset and reroll the bonus because if you get stuck with low numbers you absolutely seize up shortly before progressing into pink. (Also, once you go to pink you can no longer adjust the row bonuses for blue without prestiging, and there's no mechanic to reroll pink bonuses without prestiging, so the push to 1 million pink cubes gets extremely luck based.) I agree with the suggestion downthread to offer additional upgrades to tweak the row bonus rolls. That said, if this expands into having more gameplay elements, and the balance was refined to take out the luck reliance and the long stretches of no interactivity, this has a solid foundation to build from.

Embodies the very essence of King-Fuchsian incrementalist theory. Perhaps one of the most important insights into the human condition of our generation.

shit feels like an AI generated game

It's one thing to be inspired by another game, but to outright copy it is shameful. ...

Definitely needs a set of upgrades related to the row multiplier. Also could do with some explanations of what things do... The cost progression relative to income progression also ramps quite fast so there isn't long to get hooked to the game.

Genuinely a great game, there is a lot of depth and it's a puzzle game to an extent that most incrementals aren't. However, it is a strange mix of definitely an idle and definitely an incremental, so only play this game is you like a somewhat difficult puzzle incremental where you will need to wait while grinding stats once you progress far enough. If you played any looping game and enjoyed it (Idle Loops, Increlution, Progress Knight, Groundhog Day, Terraformental, ect.), this is those but you control clones which loop on a 2D map. Math checks out, no need for a wiki and everything does what it says. Also very long, it'll take a large time investment to finish. This is my favorite game on this website, 100% recommend at least trying it.

Liked the concept. Agreed with people about the resets looking for a good mult can be annoying, maybe an upgrade decreasing the chance of getting 1.5 or 2 would help
