If you are an idle game enjoyer like myself, I cannot recommend Antimatter Dimensions highly enough. This game makes you do math, has deep lore, somehow, and is just generally an ode to game design. The core mechanic is based on 1.8e308 being infinity, too.
Here's a link, enjoy a mild, time-gated addiction: https://ivark.github.io/AntimatterDimensions/ https://ivark.github.io/AntimatterDimensions/
- jprete 2y agoThis is probably the best of the genre. I think the main weakness is that it's slow even by idle/incremental genre standards, and there will be times when the right action is to leave it alone for hours or days.
- rpmisms 2y agoYeah, I'm in Cel7 right now, and I'm checking in twice a day. Love it.
- Aeolun 2y agoI kind of feel like there’s little to do except press more buttons? Like, I get that it’s an idle game, but even cookie clicker at least looks entertaining.
- LargeWu 2y agoCookie Clicker just has so many little surprises which keeps it engaging. I don't generally like idle games but I love Cookie Clicker.
- rpmisms 2y agoYes, it does seem that way at first. A minor spoiler: this game has its own DSL to script things, eventually.
- frud 2y agoThe game goes through several phase changes as you progress.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoThat's good to hear, because right now I'm playing it by placing something heavy on the M key.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoQuick question: is there more to this than just putting a heavy weight down on the "M" key and watching number-go-up?
- rpmisms 2y agoVastly more. It starts out simple, and then you're writing code in the game's DSL and cursing Effarig.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoI don't know if I'll get there. I'll probably just fire up Factorio.
