I haven't had a check in for ages - thoroughly burnt out, but the houseguest is going away next week for a fortnight which will give me time to decompress somewhat.

On the burner this week has been:

Warzone Idle - Risk as an idler. I play on Firefox and recommend you don't, it's horribly laggy.

PedroPascal'sTriangleOfPrestige - 8 days until I can click buttons!

IncrementalFortress - again

Fundamental - a slow-paced game that I'm really enjoying still, 3 months in.

ProgressKnight2 - all the thing go brrrr

Game testing for Get a Little Gold - a Flash game originally hosted on Kong - you can rip the .swf from there and play it as a standalone with all buyables unlocked. The new version is made with Unity for an Android release. I'm playing under Bluestacks and you can't have it yet - but it'll be thoroughly tested before it goes public. We're also looking at ways to make a cold start more engaging because currently ... it is not.

Anti-idle: The Game Flash standalone downloadable from Tukkun's (the developer) Google drive along with their other work. It's still being supported after 15 years! <3

Non-incrementals: Dorfromantik - it's very nice :)

Rogue Fable II - 45-60 minute runs, playing it since release and I still die more often than I win.

Civilization IV - Beyond the Sword - this links to GOG and is a downloadable, DRM-free version that you buy once and you have forever. Make backups. Playing this for 20 years and realised only recently that I play it as an incremental. Culture victory only, city flipping, no war, no espionage. It's extremely hard to win.

Ooh, Fundamental has changed a bit since I last touched it, I think a little over 7 months ago. Used to leave it on my phone to make sure I didn't touch it—I needed the screen on to progress in-game, as far as I knew, but actively babysitting it would be too boring. So I purposely tied up my phone with Fundamental so I could get other things done.

I haven't heard of some of these incrementals and I have been looking for a new one, so thank you for posting these recommendations!

It had an update pushed just yesterday. Still getting used to the changed goalposts - and the lack of strange quarks from exporting :(
