I haven't had a check in for ages - thoroughly burnt out, but the houseguest is going away next week for a fortnight which will give me time to decompress somewhat.

On the burner this week has been:

Warzone Idle - Risk as an idler. I play on Firefox and recommend you don't, it's horribly laggy.

PedroPascal'sTriangleOfPrestige - 8 days until I can click buttons!

IncrementalFortress - again

Fundamental - a slow-paced game that I'm really enjoying still, 3 months in.

ProgressKnight2 - all the thing go brrrr

Game testing for Get a Little Gold - a Flash game originally hosted on Kong - you can rip the .swf from there and play it as a standalone with all buyables unlocked. The new version is made with Unity for an Android release. I'm playing under Bluestacks and you can't have it yet - but it'll be thoroughly tested before it goes public. We're also looking at ways to make a cold start more engaging because currently ... it is not.

Anti-idle: The Game Flash standalone downloadable from Tukkun's (the developer) Google drive along with their other work. It's still being supported after 15 years! <3

Non-incrementals: Dorfromantik - it's very nice :)

Rogue Fable II - 45-60 minute runs, playing it since release and I still die more often than I win.

Civilization IV - Beyond the Sword - this links to GOG and is a downloadable, DRM-free version that you buy once and you have forever. Make backups. Playing this for 20 years and realised only recently that I play it as an incremental. Culture victory only, city flipping, no war, no espionage. It's extremely hard to win.

Ooh, Fundamental has changed a bit since I last touched it, I think a little over 7 months ago. Used to leave it on my phone to make sure I didn't touch it—I needed the screen on to progress in-game, as far as I knew, but actively babysitting it would be too boring. So I purposely tied up my phone with Fundamental so I could get other things done.

I haven't heard of some of these incrementals and I have been looking for a new one, so thank you for posting these recommendations!

It had an update pushed just yesterday. Still getting used to the changed goalposts - and the lack of strange quarks from exporting :(

Have found Infinite button simulator to be really amazing, it's active but there it gives you so much to try and circumvent it without actually adding strait automation - the infinite nature to achieve that feels similar to ngu. It's a bit brutally simple and I'm not sure if a autoclicker makes it better or worse balance wise... It's exciting to figure out if it's incorporable into daily life, I also played several of Galaxy's games from random but i am still to get more skilled before talking much more. definitely away from burnt out at this point though.

It has a sequel made for the browser and less mobile friendly and has a lot of buttons.

Thats demonin's version which is a bit different, will probably end up playing it as well to check. it's not a sequel to this game but actually to his older button simulator which i remember has the dodeca paradigm shift flare. in contrast this game immediately shows it's hand with 'infinite', it is not linear and is speaking to the multiple parallel areas to nurture with interrelated priority kind of thing... I haven't sorted it out and i did get sick clicking so much but you love stakes.

(edit: okay it is a bit similar, maybe the 'rune' rarity combination system in infinite is just overly fun that's all)

I finished dodecaDragons this week! I know it's a bit linear for some tastes but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

After that, I've been getting deeper into Magic Research 2 which is a treat so far. Very early though.
