AI Tycoon

bought and played the game before it "rebranded" as AI Tycoon you could spend your money on a million other incremental clicker-type games without funding this guys AI fuelled game delusions

Fun little parody game. The gameplay is just straight basic incremental/idle game (Cookie Clicker style) but the charm is in the story behind it and the small mini games delivered through the mail. It's a recommend, although the ending takes quite a while of just idling until you get enough money.

Hilarious! If you are a coder of any type you will enjoy the parody. To make it even more ironic, I played using a mouse clicker LOL!

Pretty enjoyable and got a few laughs out of me, appreciated the extra puzzles for extra upgrades, genuinly a cool idea I'd like to see more of!

Was called 'Install Fee Tycoon', a bare-bones clicker game, with vague 'line go up'-type satire that somehow passes for a story. It wasn't a good experience, with incrementing progress stalling out after 90 minutes or so. Don't recommend. Somewhat recently, the game got rebranded to 'AI Tycoon', using AI to criticize AI. It's a bad look to rebrand your entire game just to fit a new trend, just look at the history of Gene Shift Auto for a good example of that. It's also pretty dumb to use AI to mock or criticize AI (it's also unnecessary).

Slows down way too much after the first 2 hours. Past that point, even clicking doesn't help as the upgrades for clicking stop fairly early on. The only way to reach the second half of the content is by letting the game idle for dozens of hours. While this game is only a dollar, it doesn't even have steam achievements. There are many other free idlers that you can find online and play instead, and most of them are almost as good as this game. Pros: This game is a good piece of art, and has lots of charm, and good memes. It's made in Godot (yay), and is well polished. The first half-hour has good pacing, but by then you've seen at least half of what this game has to offer. Buy it if you don't mind throwing a dollar for half an hour of memes and funny but simple puzzles. Goes on sale for half a dollar too, which I recommend waiting for because this game is really barely worth more than free. I don't recommend grinding out to the endgame, unless you don't mind leaving it open in the background for a few days.
