What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread

Incremental Factory - early days yet. Fair Game - probably until either the server or I die. Anti Idle: The Game - a standalone Flash downloadable from the developer's Google Drive. fe000000 - very much in the Antimatter Dimensions group. CheckBackMod Pedro Pascal's Triangles of Prestige - developed as a joke game for the April Fool's incremental game jam last year.

I'd tried checkbackmod a long time ago but didn't really get into it, but I've started a new playthrough based on your recommendation, and am already level 13!

I'm also continuing to play USI even though I'm past all content unlocks, because it's just that fun. I stopped playing civ idle for now, but bought and started playing incremental factory :)

Did you play Transport Defender on Kong? USI is giving me the very same vibes.

thepaperpilot Admin , 2 months ago

I had not, but I just looked it up and now I wonder if the USI dev was inspired by it!

After a couple of days with Incremental Factory, how are you finding it?

thepaperpilot Admin , 2 months ago

Pretty good! Although the drones are a bit finicky. I've given the dev a lot of UI feedback as well

Oh, we're responding to the reddit reposts now? Anyways, here are the games I'm playing:

Cavernous 2: https://nucaranlaeg.github.io/incremental/CavernousII/. It's a game where you're stuck in a cave and in a time loop and you have to manage multiple clones of yourself at the same time. I'd say it appeals more to the pure puzzle (whatever that means) audience than to the incremental audience, but it does have idle elements and I like it so I'm posting it here. I'll probably post my full thoughts on the game in its own thread.

Synergism: https://synergism.cc. Abstract incremental, I'm at the stage (early Singularity) where the pacing is to check on it for a few minutes once or twice a day. I'm just playing this because of inertia.

Gooboo: https://tendsty.github.io/gooboo/. I'm not even sure if I'm playing this. The game allows you to idle for weeks on end without you getting FOMO, so that's what I've been doing. I've heard a lot of people play this more actively (read: daily checkups) though.

Pedro Pascal's Triangle of Prestige: https://asteriskman7.github.io/PedroPascalsTriangleOfPrestige/. For many this is merely a silly game made for April Fools Day. But for a select few it is more than a game - rather, it is a way of life.

Are you doing better or worse than me?

kopi-pasted , 2 months ago

Worse. Definitely worse. I was a late adopter.

Magic Research on mobile, which is a fantastic game if you haven't already played it. Still waiting on my next big PC incremental.
