  • This week I have several games previously mentioned in prestige zone limbo, roblox Generator incremental, Calculator evolution, and idle Elemental. I went back to some of them after retrying https://sciencecrafter.github.io/one-potato-incremental/ (infinite prestige esque game) which I had the mood for after deferring to replay the first region of Pokeclicker which is fun.

    Also have been playing https://galaxy.click/play/4 after seeing it in the first few numbers of galaxy's links.. 'tree of nerfs' I don't usually find prestige trees colourful enough in some way, still this one is somehow so silly. Its hard to even notice the effect of the nerf upgrades sometimes and I like it feels like the 3d pipe screensaver just verymuch the complicated spaceyness you imagine in a unfolding game. seems it was made very casually but in an act of special genius no doubt.

    Also tried Unnamed space idle, got a couple prestiges in yet haven't pulled together a sense of the loops yet and despite wanting a idley game I may just not be relaxed enough for it atm.

    Did feel confident to try and revisit the few games I skipped over, https://nagshell.github.io/elemental-inception-incremental/ Alkahistorian #3, the menus I suspect are a unique challenge and yet that is less incrementalish, + because did not internalize the upgrades I would be going for, will take a harder look at it now I think.

    Oh and I also replayed https://web.archive.org/web/20211207200325/https://extratone.xyz/posts?article=idle , the speed run game and found a strategy to have 30s spare.. be sure to auto click the start and find the flow, is like a different angle on Increlution or etc it's nice, fun to have learned

    • Huh, I found OnePotato always crashed on me at some point relatively early in the game (potato 5 or 6?), and the dev has completely abandoned the project. (Source: The dev said it in the game's Discord I was part of)

    • Huh, the first and last links are new to me. How'd you find them?

    • Huh yes just by luck seeing their release posts on the reddit at one point so not much to offer there.. also yes I painted a bit that one potato does abruptly end having upgrades, never fully crashed for me though that's why I said it can be like Infinite prestige and or like just the first region of Pokeclicker, somewhat arbitrary points to make but I like it

  • Today I'm too lazy to include links. The games should be one search query away anyway.

    I've mainly been playing Idle Elemental this past week. This game is grindy in a fun way. There's always this feeling of having something new to unlocked, and each new unlocked thing introduces new aspects to the previously unlocked things. There's a certain beauty to how these elements interact with each other. The one major thing I don't like about the game is that sometimes it feels like it's forcing me into situations that'll make me desire new elements instead of having said situations naturally arise out of the scaling. The biggest example of this is when new elements are suddenly introduced into the costs for upgrades. It's just a pet peeve of mine. By the way, the game is available on the web and Android. I recommend playing it on Android as the web version can lag considerably.

    There's a new round in FairGame, and I'm participating in it. It's a very relaxed round. On web.

    I've been checking in more on Gooboo. It has nice ideas though the pacing is a bit too idle for my taste. Web.

    I'm also playing Unnamed Space Idle. Web + all major desktop platforms.

    I really am feeling lazy today. I only wrote a long description for the first game. Anyways, it's kinda quiet here considering the amount of people who have joined. I see a lot of people here now.
