  • Very cool idea and my evolution to a scorpio was fun and educational.
  • I’d recommend making it responsive, the bottom bar for example has a lot of overlapping elements on my phone
  • Is there a bug with adding workers?

    Added a Cottage, and unemployed number toggled between 1 and 0, and total count didn't change. Like the workers disappeared.

  • Hey, it's a rare moment to see the "legend" of incremental games (shoutout to r/incrementalgames for introducing me to one of the genre I liked —because actually it can be played while working)!
  • Works for a bit in iOS Orion but buttons now stop the counters. Reload rewinds progress.

    Saw another comment had the link to the GitHub project, so went to file a bug. Stopped in my tracks when I saw over 200 open issues.

  • Its like Kittens game, but broader. I think kittens are deeperer but narrower, but idk maybe im wrong havent played both in years
  • If you like Paperclips / Kittens / A Dark Room, I also built a game in that niche.

    A dark incremental settlement builder with a story and decisions with impact on the game. It is playable in the browser at https://a-dark-cave.com, desktop and mobile. There is a Steam demo too.

  • Love this so much. I always get in my own way with making a game like this. I keep trying to add too much instead of it just being an incremental clicker game.
  • I have no clue what this is. So far, it's just click click click with 0 though.

  • its like the paperclip game
  • This is one of the incrementals where you mostly start getting choices after you reset. Then you can be mushroom people or other types and start trying unique traits in different runs
  • If this doesn't turn into universal paperclips about 150 years after an industrial revolution, I'm going to be severely disappointed.

  • To anyone visiting on mobile: if you don't see any buttons, switch to the desktop version in your browser.

    Evolve is one of a relative few that have been around and growing for a long time, and easily have months of (gradual) content. Worth a try if these appeal to you and you haven't tried it yet.

  • Relative few that have been around a long time? There is a plethora of 10+ year old incrementals with virtually endless content at this point.
