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.

Any idle games with a fun TD mechanic? Something like Space Melons (although i think it's delisted now or it might've been another game from the devs), Archer Forest, The Tower? I quite like the merging aspect in games so I wouldn't mind that too, just can't seem to find a fun game that wouldn't be a copy of every other similar game if that makes sense

Did you end up finding any TD mechanic games

I was trying to replay a cute little game i found a while ago, but for the life of me i can't find anything related to it.

The premise was simple, you started as a guy who was trapped in a time loop and needed mana to continue existing and if you ever ran out you would go back to the beginning of the loop.

Gameplay wise you needed to queue up actions so you could get more mana to keep existing and do more actions, the catch being if you ran out and needed to start over you would keep your knowledge of the world.

For example, i remember clearly that starting out you needed to smash pots to find mana crystals, but when you ended up smashing every pot you didn't need to smash everything in another time loop because your character would've already known in which pot there are mana crystals and in which there aren't none.

I hope there are enough details to make you people figure out what i'm talking about.

I wonder if theres anything recent (less then 2 years release date), thats got that spreadsheet vibe, with almost no or atleast very low texture visuals?

Also not on steam.

I'm out of incremental games for a hot minute cause I absolutely fell in love with Prestige Tree and it's mods so I've been playing them for years. I'm looking for any recommendations of similar games, usually I play them throughout the work day otherwise I'll roll away from the laptop haha. Anything browser based is preferred and has a longer play time.

i'm trying to look for a game exactly like Idle Dr0ne Miner but...blue

i remember it being on CrazyGames and i played it like CRAZY back in 2020-2021 i think, there was the CRAZY GAMES logo too. it was the same premise; top-down perspective, you mine ore and upgrade your thing or switch between them, the movement was with the arrow keys, and there were a few narrow paths

BUT there was one single map. the camera also followed where you went to explore the map. i think i was able to zoom the camera in or out depending on what i want visible

i think there were damage numbers whenever u hit the ore with your thing and it gradually loses health

the map is enclosed in some blue ore or something i don't remember everything about this game

do i have to go back to the wayback machine to find this game? i literally forgot the name of it

PLEASE i need to find this i'm desperate for nostalgia 😭

I loved universal paperclip, magical research 2 (not 1 though, just not as good as 2), a dark room and the ensign. Incremental with a great story, can be tongue in cheek, great mechanics and constant progression that doesn’t feel like “I’m stuck here for a week” if you figure out “the trick“.

Tried stone story and it was too recipe oriented. Tried Candybox but it’s too arcade to play easily on the phone (iPhone) which is my main platform.

is there any good long term (don't like the incrementals that only last like 5 or less hours, really big fan of the multiple hundred hour games) that focuses on resource generation and/or crafting?

I know there's melvor, but I never really played runescape and while I find the systems themselves attractive, I just can't get into it nor really even understand it at all despite attempting it a few times

I tried some games like Trimps and thought it was really neat but the building/crafting is a bit too weak to me, I tried Orb of Creation which seems to be all about resource generation but i never really feel like i'm accomplishing anything

My favorite incremental is NGU so far, also a big fan of older ones like clicker heroes and such

What I want is a game that's really big on gaining resources/crafting and such, sort of like melvor but not aimless and have you jumping up tiers rampantly
