Bros how do I get off this ride?

2 years without an update

can't trick me into playing anymore of this

click

>>719872339 (OP)
mad to think this caused the end of gaming

>>719872339 (OP)
steam or web?

>Cookie clicker comes out around the time some pajeet paid by trump demands
Cookie clicker came out before you were even born, stop huffing politics you schizo

>>Cookie clicker comes out around the time some pajeet paid by trump demands that every website be modernized and has a cookie notification that tracks humans over robots.
Cookie clicker came out 3 years before Trump's first term you fucking retard

>game has no ending, it just slows down to the point you're barely making any progress
what a fucking waste of time

>>719872339 (OP)
It's not a game it's an incremental number generator. I've still stared at it too much.

>>719880816
Realistically the game ends when you collect all achievements
>waste of time
It's a game that you can check in on once a day for 5 minutes to spend currency and log off, hardly more of a waste of time than any other vidya if you're having any amount of fun

Is there no better clicker/idler than kittens game? I'm struggling to think of any.

>>719881250
Candybox 1 and 2 are classics
They only have browser versions and they actually have a sort of adventure feel to them on top of being idle games
Highly recommend, especially 2

>>719881345
Thanks for the recs anon

I love the progression style of these games, but I hate all the clicking… I wish there were more gameplay elements in these kinds of games

Every year I forget about it, some thread reminds me, I ascend, buy everything I can and then forget for another year.

You're supposed to do crazy golden cookie combos.

>>719880620
>>719880774
Chances are you weren’t playing it back then. Look at the numbers. It’s called incubation, you fucking retard.

>>719881250
Don't play many idle games but idle die was really good. Vast majority is progression is done playing the game and not idling. The only problem is the end game where there's a slot machine and you get thousands of spins that you just need to sit wait through. Other than there's always a way to save time.

>>719881465
Try clickpocalypse 2

>>719884095
>It came out at the same time
>Uhhhhh actually now that I've been called out it was incubation
Politicsfags should be hung up from their toes by piano wire for an indeterminate amount of time.

I am more of a Pokeclicker guy.

I think golden cookies are a bad mechanic. Let idle games be idle.

>dev has a bluesky
Wooooooke

I am bumping this thread because I like it

The game went to shit when it became all about combo autism and impossible to progress by idling

>>719872339 (OP)
go back to work on your game ortiel

>>719881250
Incremental Mass Rewritten is my favourite even though it's a complete clusterfuck. It tickles that progression feel that Synergism only pretended to have where it just adds layer upon layer of stuff that obsoletes everything that came before. Ironically the worst part of it is the layer that ripped off corruptions, but unlike synergism it's only a small part of the game and it doesn't take long for the next layer to come online and blow it to smithereens.

>>719889051
>has an ending
No. Its like a day of gameplay if that

>>719885028
setInterval(function() {

Game.shimmers.forEach(function(shimmer) {
if (shimmer.type == "golden") { shimmer.pop() }
})

}, 500);
What now white boi?

>>719891616
It's way less than a day if you know what you're doing. It also has the effect that you can speedrun it which is unique in clickers/idlers afaik.

>>719872482
I AM NOT A COOKIE

>>719872339 (OP)
Good example of games as art unironically

>>719892661
>Are too cookie

>>719893280
>I'm gonna bop you one girl!

>>719893213
elaborate

>>719895089
I personally like the game, therefore it's objectively art.

>>719879835
>Steam version costs money

wat

>>719889051
game immediately goes to shit after the eye rape part

>>719892101
what the fuck

>>719881250
No.
But i like Theory of Magic.
NGU idle are bonkers but at least it is not clickaton waiting room.

I lost interest when it became too arduous to break into the next production band. The impact of finally breaking through doesn't last long enough.

I'm addicted again. Thanks thread

>>719885028
I should be rewarded for clicking a golden cookie when I feel like clicking one. I should not be overly hindered when I don't. The design choices that force you into active or passive builds were the mistake. The veil is the biggest example.

>>719895089
Makes a point, has a message, provokes debate, challenges the established norms of its medium (at the time). All while having zero plot and being 100% gameplay. Fully a game with zero aping of other established art forms like movies or literature. It's more "games as art" than any walking simulator or "immersive sim"

>Playing candy box 2
>you can get a lolligator
>much want
>Get lolligator
>I read it wrong, no loligator 4 me
life is so fucking hard bros it's unreal

I enjoy some ultra casual, turn your brain off and watch the numbers go up, games from time to time - but I'm wondering if other people do too. I'm working on a game where you harvest sap from trees and sell it off - upgrades are planned to be simple stuff like hiring workers, bucket capacity, amount of trees, etc. Does this sound enjoyable at all? Game will be first person.

>>719881250
Gnorp Apologue is good, has a definitive ending as well, but Cookie Clicker will always remain king

>>719884095
>Chances are you weren’t playing it back then. Look at the numbers.
but the numbers say that it was a viral phenomenon when it came out and has barely held onto a fraction of its original popularity. trumps original term was actually minimum interest

I appreciate short idle clickers with an ending.

>>719885028
why even play a game if you want interactivity reduced so much?

When is NGU Idle 2 coming out you fuck

>>719906039
The issue is the late game is balanced entirely around golden cookie combos. Nothing else matters there's no incremental gain or meaningful upgrades. It's just golden cookies until you get the right combo.

>>719906039
I like seeing number go up and it's something I can keep on in the background while I do other things
