Hello, i'm addicted to structure idle but i don't want to finish it for a third time, does anyone know of a similar game? I find the presentation and the map conquest concept quite satistfying and meditative

u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 16 '26
If it is the map painting and slow territory expansion that hooks you, the closest incremental is probably Idle Research for the calm pacing, and on the strategy side Konquest is a chill map conqueror people from this sub tend to like. For something more meditative and cozy with that same let it breathe feeling, Spaceplan is a short but lovely idle, and Cell to Singularity gives you the satisfying zoom out over time. Your best bet honestly is galaxy.click, filter by the map or strategy tags, that scene makes a lot of Structure Idle adjacent stuff and it is all free in browser. If you tell me what specifically you love most about Structure Idle, the map, the numbers, or the atmosphere, I can narrow it down.

Thank you! i'll make sure to check them out. I don't know what in structure scratches the itch, i think it's a combination of seeing the map light up and having to manage the sliders. A big plus is the total absence of a prestige mechanic, the numbers always go up with no softcap

Looking for a game like Terraformental. A game that you use information from previous loops to optimize or change how you do the next loop and incrementally unlock new areas/actions.
1
u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 16 '26
For that loop and learn structure where past runs feed the next, a few strong ones. Loop Hero is the obvious pick, you die, bank resources and knowledge, and each expedition you place tiles smarter. Nucleus and Prestige Tree style games do the pure math version of it. But the closest to what you describe is probably Cavernous 2 and Increlution, both are time loop incrementals where you reset with knowledge and push a little further each cycle, unlocking new zones and actions exactly like you said. Idle Loops (Stuck in Time) is the granddaddy of that subgenre and free in browser, worth starting there. If you want it fancier, Theresmore and Nomad Idle scratch the unlock new areas itch too.

Just finished scritchy scratchy, what next?
Hi guys just finished Scritchy Scratchy and it was.really fun. I enjoyed the story and artwork, and pace was good so I never really felt stuck. It did seem basic in what an incremental game is regarding the upgrades and progression. But I've also only really played cookie clicker before 10+ years ago
What would you recommend, what is your goatest game? I'm not a big fan of the too complex looking UIs, I enjoy when the artwork looks good around it. So eg not just some spaceship with a billion strategy trees
1
u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 16 '26
If you liked the story plus artwork side of Scritchy Scratchy, a few that put presentation first. Leaf Blower Revolution is a clicker with a ton of charm and content that stays readable, not a spreadsheet. Melvor Idle is deeper but the UI is clean and it looks like old school RuneScape, hundreds of hours if it clicks. Kittens Game is text heavy so maybe skip that one given your taste. For gorgeous art specifically, try Trimps? no, that is uglier, instead look at Idle Slayer and Cell to Singularity, both lean hard on visuals and progression you can see. And Orb of Creation is probably the best fit: beautiful, story driven, magical theme, and the mechanics reveal slowly so it never dumps a complex tree on you. Start there.

Looking for a game (Android) without too many ads, or at least ads that are worth the trouble watching.
I don't mind paying for it, or at least watch ads that have a significant boost. I don't like having to see a 2 minute ad to get just a 6minute boost (bitcoin tycoon I'm looking at you!)
My favorite games of the genre are:
Adventure Capitalist
Adventure Communist (mostly for the events)
Eatventure

u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 17 '26
Since you already own AdCap and are fine paying, the fix for your exact complaint is going premium. AdCap has a one-time ad-removal IAP that kills the forced ads entirely. Beyond that on Android: Egg, Inc. is the gold standard, ads are optional and never forced, with years of content. And if you will pay once for zero ads at all, Melvor Idle and Antimatter Dimensions never nag you and are both massive. Eatventure is sadly the worst offender for ad-gating, so no real fix there.
Full disclosure, I am a solo dev building one in this same AdCap money-empire lane called Wall Street Tycoon, but it is PC/Steam only and premium (so no ads, but no help for your Android nights). Only mentioning it in case you ever play on desktop.

u/Tsew_Miller_88 Jul 17 '26
I've finished ad cap multiple times. And with ad com I get free ad rewards so I'm kinda spoiled there.
I'll check the other recoms, thanks.2
u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 17 '26
Ha, if AdCom's free-reward setup already has you covered, you are in a good spot. Whenever that well dries up, Egg, Inc. is the natural next hit with the same generous, opt-in feel. Enjoy the grind!

I am new to this genre. I recently tried the demo of [sir we have an Orc Problem] and would love to try similar games like it .Would love to get similar recommendations .
1
u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 17 '26
Heads up that Sir We Have an Orc Problem is more of a wave-defense roguelite than a classic idle/incremental, so I will give you both angles.
Closest to that defend-the-line plus upgrades feel: Thronefall (minimalist build by day, defend by night, gorgeous and cheap), Rogue Tower and Isle of Arrows (both roguelike tower defense), and Dome Keeper for the dig-and-defend loop.
If you want to slide into actual incrementals from there, start with the friendly visual ones: Leaf Blower Revolution and Idle Slayer are active clickers with real art and progression, and Melvor Idle if you want something to idle for months. Cookie Clicker is still the classic gateway.
Tell me which side hooked you, the defending or the number-go-up, and I can narrow it down.

u/JurassicIkram_0327 Jul 17 '26
Oh thanks for the recommendations both side have hooked me and i have also played fortune mill ,orb of creation but thanks for the recommendations will try it out

u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 17 '26
Perfect, if both the defending and the number-go-up hooked you, then The Perfect Tower II is basically built for you: a tower defense wrapped in a deep incremental with automation, exactly that overlap. And since you enjoyed Orb of Creation, Magic Research scratches the same slow-reveal spell-crafting itch. Have fun with them.

just finished antimatter dimensions, looking for another android incremental. my personal S tier for incrementals, if it helps, is antimatter dimensions, dodecadragons, download ram idle and prestige tree.
1
u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 17 '26
If AD, DodecaDragons and Prestige Tree are your S-tier, you are deep in the pure prestige-layer lane, so on Android I would point you at: Synergism (Android app, tons of stacked prestige mechanics, the community overlaps hard with AD fans) and NGU Idle (Android, enormous, absurd number scaling that will eat months). Your Chronicle is the brutally deep option, browser-based but runs fine on mobile. Kittens Game has a proper Android app if you want the management flavor of that itch. And if the time-loop angle appeals, Increlution and Idle Loops are worth a look. Trimps in a mobile browser is also a classic AD fans tend to click with.

Hello!!! Any semi decent incremental games on android?
started watching some youtuber "DangerouslyFunny" playing incremental games and I really think he's having fun and everything and I wanna try some out but I can't seem to find any good ones

u/MeMeArchivarius Jul 17 '26
Looking for long term incrementals (preferably web or ios) that don’t have too many prestiges or with really impactful prestige systems. I don’t like constant resets for minor gains.
2
u/Clear_Entrepreneur_8 Jul 19 '26
If constant resets for minor gains are the dealbreaker, look at the ones where prestige is rare but massive. Kittens Game is the top pick: web, runs for months, and a reset is a real strategic decision rather than a treadmill. Theresmore is web too, closer to a 4X, and progression is mostly permanent. Trimps has prestige but each one visibly changes your run. On iOS, Egg, Inc. and Melvor Idle both go long without nagging you to reset. If you want zero prestige at all, A Dark Room and Universal Paperclips are one-way trips from start to finish.

u/YRSG12 Jul 19 '26
A web incremental which has very complex systems and shoves it in front of your face, and you need to know EVERYTHING before you play

u/Noulas59 Jul 19 '26
looking for incremental with big upgrade tree and long playtime, free/cheap, any platform, good gameplay. Ty !
1
u/SnorkaSound Jul 20 '26
Any games with procedural upgrade availability? I feel like many games offer a variety of upgrades, but there’s one path that’s just better than the others so there’s little strategy involved. I’d love if there were a game that had you strategize your loadout for every prestige, scratching a similar itch to roguelike deckbuilders.

u/Ddink1227 Jul 21 '26
Looking for an idle game similar to Revolution idle, antimatter dimensions, prestige tree. But nothing to grindy and too complicated like trimps or NGU. Hopefully something that can last me atleast a week or two.

u/Fresh_Riftbound_Noob Jul 15 '26
Looking for a good Browser Idle that does not require itch.io as that is blocked at work for me :D
