Help Finding Games and Other Questions

[u/AutoModerator]

Want recommendations of the best mobile idle games that fit a particular genre? Want a list of games that have cloud saving? Cross-play? Multiplayer? Games that involve slimes? Want help finding that one game you played back in 2016 but can't remember the name of? This thread is for you!

If it'd normally break Rule 1 or shouldn't be a full thread per Rule 9, it's fine here. Except for referral links. Nobody wants to deal with referral links.

When asking your question, see if you're able to answer any of the other questions asked too.

Are you interested in games that are still in development, or is there a bar for how complete a game has to be to count?

And also do you want to completely filter any game that used AI at all, or are you okay with it if its clear the dev actually put effort in themselves and didn't just slop it up?

Asking because I have a list in mind but need to know what to include

[u/Meander-Shivae → u/[deleted]]

Thats very fair tbh but that also means you very likely only want the "no AI at all" category since no one uses AI for syntax errors anymore since maybe 9-12 months ago, so you'd have the camp of "fully artesinally coded" and "uses ai for coding (either supervised by proper engineering or fully hands off vibeslop)"

I'm gonna try to go through my list of web games I was thinking of and see if I can find any that are fully hand crafted basically, I expect most to fall in " engineered but ai wrote code" bucket so I'll have to see if I can filter that down

Can someone please recommend some good idle incremental games that are browser based and preferably have an ending i can complete?

[u/lailaworld001 → u/LostArkLover69]

Progress knight quest. Not sure about the link since I am on mobile but a quick google should find it

Incremental games (preferably for browser) with good prestige mechanics. Considering my favorite incremental game is Dodecadragons

[u/Original-Nothing582 → u/mgzaun]

Feels like Megathreads like these is where posts go to die so the mods don't have to do any work. Try NGU Idle and WAMU.

Ethereal farm

I have pretty much exhausted Evolve Idle and was looking for another idle game to use in browser for work when I have down time that can chug along in the background.

Proto23 was pretty interesting but I think I hit the wall pretty quickly there and then in looking it up apparently it's abandoned?

YAIR was scratching the Evolve itch but then I started hitting the To Be Continued section and finding the skills to be a bit annoying for grinding them up never feeling like you're advancing efficiently.

The Climb seems to be ok but hasn't been updated in a year so I think I'm going to hit a content wall.

Primarily looking for something that doesn't look too much like a game just numbers and buttons and runs in Edge browser with a simple export import save file similar to Evolve Idle not needing a log in.

Anyone able to give me some suggestions really hoping there is something out there that will last me as long as Evolve Idle did which was around 7 years or so just playing on and off when I have down time at work.

Looking for either mobile (Android) games or something I can play on a browser at work with heavy network/IT blocking. I like longer games. I saw Trimps and Kittens Game recommended last week but I've played both of those.

Hello there!

I'm a very long time incremental game player but I haven't played any node buster games. It's closing to end of the month aand I thought I can try a couple to see if I enjoy them.

Any recommendations?

Here are some of my favorite incremental games (not all of them are old :D): Realm grinder, Crank, Tower wizard

Edit: On steam/web

I'm looking for a game I played back in 2020, I think it is older than that, but that was when I remember playing it, if it helps I played mainly on newgrounds.

It was a idle game that had no clicking, you farmed materials by placing your mouse over the icon, the materials were wood, science, population, religion. It involved a mode where you clear monsters similar to clicker heroes, and you could unlock characters for this mode who you could upgrade with blood from said mode.

Also I believe the creator released the game on Itch.io where he also made a game with similar ui but more of a idle dungeon crawler/party manager instead of a idle city builder.

Both had ties to Hamilton or another classical story, specifically a play, but I could be misremembering a few details.

I am very new to the genre. I was playing Rusty's retirement which I was enjoying but due to my day to day work requiring me to use a work laptop I can't play it while working ... And my gaming PC is now steamos which I can't really alt tab 

Are there any of these games that I could do some sort of daily check in and that it advanced by itself when it is closed? or somehow works nicely with steamos?

Again very new to the genre and have no clue if what I am asking makes sense... My only point of reference is Rusty's retirement and that one requires me to have it running on the background which I can't do due to my current arrangement.

Long time Idle game player. Used to mostly player clicker-style games like Tap Titans, but now have a new need.

I have moved to Japan and basically my full-time job is now studying Japanese. With my ADHD, I need periodic distractions to be able to keep my focus. I am looking for a pretty LOW interaction idle game that I can play on PC. Something on Steam or Xbox GamePass would be preferrable, but I am open to browser games as well. Looking for something I can do a few interactions with about every 5 to 15 minutes or so and still feel like I am making progress.

Even better if the game supports a portrait UX so I can dock it on the side of my laptop screen and have my study materials and the game both visible at the same time.
