Gaming

Trimps. I’m hopelessly addicted.

I've tried almost all popular incremental games. Some I might have forgotten, but most are not listed because I lost interest.

Sorry in advance for lack of links, on mobile ATM. If there is interest I can add them.

Note: Most web games work on mobile, but some require an S-Pen or so for hovering upgrade tooltips before buying.

Favorites, beaten (web):

• Matter dimensions (my all time favorite)
• Godtree incremental (quite short)
• Idle Formulas
• Succubox (too much clicking but was similar to universal paperclips)
• Smaller demo games, like summer jam games or from www.incrementaldb.com

Favorites, beaten (Android):

• Upload Simulator (nice pacing)

Still playing (web)

• Incremental Mass Rewritten (active development)
• Antimatter dimensions (inspiration for many others, mobile app missing last layer)
• Fundamental (slow cycle; upgrades -> offline -> warp offline time)

Current Android games:

• Ctrl C (repeat old chapters for multipliers)
• Grimoire
• Myriad + Myriad DE (definite edition is slower, but in development)
• Upload Simulator 2 (don't like the pacing compared to 1st)
• SPACEPLAN (trying out. nice, apparently new, visuals)

Also occasionally playing steam versions of Increlution or Cookie Clicker, and waiting for Orb of Creation v0.6.0.

Cookie Clicker

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_game

Huh. Today I learned. :D

I haven't found/heard of a good, meaty new game in a while. Recetly I've dug back into Leaf Blower Revolution but like a lot of incremental games it eventually devolves into having very specific strategies or goals.

I have quite enjoyed Synergism in the past, as well as Wizard and Minion Idle and NGU.

It’s not a type of game I often play, but I enjoyed Kittens game a lot. And space plan, while not super long, was also really enjoyable

I recently beat Antimatter Dimensions after coming back to the Reality update after a long while. There's a lot of depth, especially in the new additions. I appreciate all the layers and addition of QoL upgrades.

Bitburner was fun as an incremental hacking sim. I haven't played it for a while, but I find it really unique.

There's also Orb of Creation which can be a bit grindy but also seems really fun for what it offers. I've been playing the demo version at https://marple.itch.io/orb-of-creation

Eh, if one of the better incrementals is only ok to you, I'm not sure if you want to try more of the genre.

Been playing Melvor Idle, really great one that replicates old school runescape's Skilling experience as an idle game. I also enjoy Impossible Dungeon quite a bit as well, top down auto dungeon crawler where you earn points to upgrade and customize a party for getting as far down a dungeon as you can and competing with other players in tournaments and dailies.

I recently restarted cookie clicker. Big mistake

Stone story has been great fun.

if you are on android, the tower is pretty good. it has years of stuff to do, and it's still getting more added to it.

I enjoyed a dark room

Idle Wizard is good on PC, a bit different and takes some getting used to.

Otherwise we have Soda Dungeon 1 & 2 for mobile, which is fantastic.

ISEPS and CIFI, both by Octocube Games, have kept me hooked for several years now, albeit they tend to land more on the idle side of things, at least the way I play them.

Dodecadragons is more active most of the time, and IMO is absolutely fantastic. It recently reached completion, but I just found out while writing this that apparently some people bullied the dev so hard they pulled the game down earlier this week. Still, they have some other games at https://demonin.com/ so show them some support. Try Array Game!

I also played Tap Wizard RPG on mobile for a pretty long time. It's good stuff.

Current digging CIFI. There is so much to do in this game.

Kittens Game and an untitled Shark Game.

Prosperous Universe is quite different from a typical incremental game, but it scratches the same itch for me. The game is very complex, and other players drive the economy, leading to some price/availability unpredictability that is interesting. Gotta keep your bases fueled, but you also want to wait for prices to rise or fall, and potentially use your ships to trade at other markets.

It's quite nonlinear in progression and there's a lot of ways to expand.

So many good games already mentioned! I would add Arcanum: Theory of Magic and Progress Knight (any variation beside the OG, like: 2.0, Reborn, Quest)

I was on The Perfect Tower 2 for a while until my 8th ascension introduced a different grind and I lost interest.

I've been on Farmers Against Poatatoes Idle and its mindless enough that I can more or less passively play with just one daily check in.

NGU Idle is the greatest idle game to ever exist. It simply cannot be beaten. It's free on Steam.

Anti-Idle: The Game is one of my all-time favourites. It's got a ton of sub-games and some really interesting resource flows between them. And as per the title you can idle or not, but there are rewards for active play.

Is there one that is server Based where it is not possible to manipulate your save state?
