Bit-Cremental: Fishistry

If you want an idle game that hijacks your dopamine and gives you a ton of things to work toward for dozens of hours, this isn't that. If you want something more akin to a cute desktop distraction that you check in on here and there for a few hours, this fits the bill. The progress is pretty slow feeling until the endgame and it didn't often hit a very satisfying balance for me, but for a few bucks the cute aesthetic was pleasant enough to carry me through catching all of the fish. It's a light recommend from me, but by no means is it bad.

This is the slowest most boring idler i've played. Progression is slow, musics are overly repetitive, automation is almost worthless...

I personally don't like the pacing of this game. I feel the beginning of it is very slow and once you're able to passively generate income, it still doesn't pick up all that much. It's not until you start getting to really late in the game when things start feeling like they go really fast. By no means is it a bad game, I just feel like it would have been better if it was a 1hr - 2hr experience instead of a 5hr -10hr. Really enjoy the art style and overall Gameboy Color aesthetic to it. It invokes a real nostalgic feel that I haven't felt in decades and I wish more games went for this kind of feel for their old school pixel art.

Too simple and repetitive even for an idle game.

This is a pretty slow-paced surface level idler without much going on. It's got a good aesthetic, but unfortunately the retro presentation isn't much to go on by itself. The sound and music becomes grating too, so I don't think there's much worth getting this for and I wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah, it's a bit pointless, but it sat on my second screen, entertaining me for an evening and a half, and that's good enough for a game I paid a few cents for. It's an idle game. Active gameplay is basically nonexistent. The worst part by far was the fact that it starts up with the CRT filter active, which made me unable to read all the tutorials it throws at me before it lets me access the menu to turn that nightmare off.
