Lazy Sweet Tycoon
I enjoy a lot of clicker games, and I did enjoy this one as well at first, but the game has a few achievements that are way too grindy to keep enjoying the game. After completing all the other achievements I have the following achievements left:
-
clicking 100k energized trees left (I only got around 10k while getting the other achievements with active play)
-
Start/complete 100 jobs, most of them take 1 to 2h in real life which means you have to log in every 1/2h to start a new job if you want to get through this one as fast as possible.

Really fun game, it is not as indepth as other clickers but I like the chill environment and themes
Cross play is cool as well, I was a fan of the mobile game so I liked being able to bring my progress over
Runs pretty well on my computer too :)

Roll
Roll is original and engaging. You roll dice to collect points, and use those points to upgrade your dice. The goal is to get the highest score possible in 2500 rolls.
It is likely to be too ‘mathy’ for some - figuring out which upgrades will generate the most had me setting up spreadsheets. However, some players like that sort of thing and once I got my head around the upgrades (most of the upgrades, there are some I still don’t really understand), I found I could do pretty well playing from the gut - which is more fun for me.

The man behind this game seems to be very passionate about the project. He has been putting out updates very frequently and even wiping leader boards with significant enough changes. he has also targeted and stopped (as far as I can tell) cheaters so the in game leader boards should be fairly accurate. On the limited youtube content available for this game he pops up time to time to interact with people in the comments section and answer questions or even just say hello, seems like a small thing but its kinda the reason I started playing. A random video about it popped up in my youtube feed and after seeing the dev in the comments seem so genuinely happy to talk to people about the game I figured id give it a shot. Im having a great time with this and id say its well worth the $4.99 I paid for it. I normally value my time as a gamer at roughly $1/hr of gameplay and Im only a few days into owning this game and I have already surpassed that mark. This deserves more attention and I think that if a community starts up around this it could really be a fun experience. Honestly my biggest gripe is that if I dont understand something or want to look something up about the game its simply not popular enough for google or youtube to understand what Im talking about and I havent come up with the right buzzword to have a more efficient search. “roll” and “roll game” paired with whatever Im trying to search or even by themselves usually yield either DND results or other games. but Im not even really sure thats any fault of the developer. If you have an extra $5 lying around you wont feel like you wasted it on this game

Idle Hunter
As idle clicker games go, this one leans towards the simple fun side. Plenty of systems to keep your dopamine levels high, and nothing too complex or convoluted to make you wish you had a Ph.D in math.
From my point of view, as long as you’re into idle clickers, this buy is a no-brainer. Well worth the price, if only for the fact you don’t get nagged with in-app purchase deals. The developper responds well to suggestions and criticism, and definitely deserves a buck for this little gem in the rough.

TL:DR version, Some issues but overall I would still recommend it and it has kept my interest for well over a week.
I see that people have called this a poor example of an Idle game and have listed some good points. Mainly the one that I agree with is that there is an Achievement in which it requires some sort of an Auto clicker. I don’t usually like to use them but it took me all of 5 seconds in Razor Synapse to make one that could click fast enough for 60cps and then I turned it off and haven’t used it since.

Cook Dungeon
Honestly I love this game. Most people are blasting it for stolen are and what not but its cheap and the devs listen to the community. This game has amazing speed running potential with all of the glitches in it. I find myself coming back for more and I really enjoy the time playing this game. Some of the bugs can get annoying at times but seeing how the devs are actually working on making the game better I would say that they will not be around for long. I do feel like the game needs a tutorial or something to help you understand what you are doing but some people like having to figure that out. With 21 hours in this game I cant recommend this game enough and I feel like this game can really go somewhere in the future.

This game is a zero. I played it and thought it was fun at first. I thought there might be a trick to the “cooking”, but after extensive testing it seems to be random. I thought maybe you could infinitely clear the dungeon and get stronger… But no. Maybe encounter cool and interesting enemies… Also no… Also they STOLE PIXEL ART FROM OTHER GAMES!!! Namely POKEMON. Which is wrong… for a little more info read on.
If you beat the main “BOSS” but don’t save the princess eventually the game will lock you in an inescapable room.

Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden
A resource management, clicker, visual novel game, my, oh my. And believe it or not in this game these three genres work well together.
Definitely not the usual type of resource management game since one plays as Organa, apprentice to Irene, the owner of a body organ shop who Organa calls Master. Organa works in the greenhouse behind the shop growing and cultivating (on trees) body organs: kidneys, hearts, stomachs, livers, and colons (intestines). As the organ trees grow, they level up (top level 100). As they grow the organs becomes better quality: average, great, excellent. Of course Organa is tasked with filling orders of certain quantities of each organ from customers of the shop. Every chapter introduces a new organ and the sixth chapter is an ending. The credits roll and Organa can return to shop to complete unfinished tasks and gets a whole set of new ones. This after story gaming is basically for that visual novel “true” ending, and for achievement hunters and completionists since this part is a grind. A very easy grind, but still a grind. Also in this after the (first) ending part is the merchant storyline.

Let’s be real, this game is like another Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing type of game. Don’t get me wrong, I am a HUGE sucker for those games. Can play them all day every day without getting bored. The click based system is one that isn’t a stranger to us all. We’ve all dealt with a game that had to deal with sitting and feel like you are bored to death, but in reality it starts to become a relaxing time.
You aren’t feeling rushed, and you can go at your own pace on evolving the storyline or not. Seriously, if you wanted you could probably just stay on the first chapter to get all the achievements in the game - well some of the achievements. The color palette that’s used for this game aren’t overbearing on your eyes, they are bright, but also toned down to the pastel kind of deal that still catch your attention, without making you wanna gouge your eyeballs out. The artstyle is simply well done to the point of having the different gradiant variations down to the T. I am a sucker for that too. Theshadingtoo!

-You scan a grid of numbers clicking from lowest to high as fast as you can. I did not like it at first, thought it was monotonous, but after some more time with it and understanding some of the ‘hidden’ mechanics that allow you to cause more damage it has become enjoyable.
-Graphics are cute and charming but a little too simplistic with no visual flare.
-Lockpicking is lame, you quickly learn the combination for the three locks.
-There are no missions, quests or story so you go into every run with no goal in mind other than getting farther than you did before.

Anthropomachy
So… I was very excited when I found this game. Not only because it’s exactly the kind of game I was looking for, but also because the price was so reasonable.
I just finished my first play-through and I did really enjoy it although I do have some comments & concerns about gameplay.
I saw before purchasing that a lot of people insisted this game needed some kind of tutorial & that has been fixed, I found the tutorial to be super helpful. I do agree with another commenter though that a guided-victory tutorial (rather than a show & tell tutorial) would be much more beneficial.
– Real player with 24.6 hrs in game
I highly recommend it!
Anthropomachy is a great strategy game, and you have to conquer the world as a Greek God!
Each God has its own powers, and you can choose your own path when purchasing them: good, neutral or evil?
It’s not so easy to be a conqueror, but I thought this is the funniest part of this game, because you have to find out what you have to do to be a better God to your followers.
The experience in-game is not boring, even when you’re doing the same actions constantly, because the developers added some features such as sudden messages appearing with choices that can help you or not (making people lose faith in you or believe you are their savior), and some news that appears in red that can help you in some situations.

PacketStorm
This is not a horrible game, but it is a stripped down game. I would give it a thumbs up if I had bought it for less than $2.00 USD.
The good:
- A relaxing fish tank to watch, with some gameplay elements thrown in.
The bad:
-
No explanation as to how the gameplay elements work. Trial and error eventually let you figure out what’s going on but…
-
Because there’s no way to delete your out-of-game profile, by the time you figure out how things work, it’s too late to develop a meaningful play strategy because you’re flush with bonuses that dilute any bad decisions you might make.

Fun game. If your like me and enjoy a casual simulation this will be right up your alley.
Well worth it for the small cost.
