IDLE_DIRECTIVE

Ive really enjoyed this for the most part. There definitely needs to be some tweaks with prestige system and QoL. There has been two updates already since launch, so the dev is actively listening to feedbacks. I was hooked after playing the demo, and purchased the game. Its not your typical idler like the usual ones out there. You can set it up as an an idler to gather resources but Ive been playing actively which does progress faster. I did lose interest after the first prestige because I didnt unlock the trader task augment, and the little points I used on something else made it as if I restarted to gain nothing. So once I recovered from that set back, the increment of gaining more augment points to make the next game easier changed significantly. Suggestions: There seems to be a lot of negative review comments about the first prestige. Maybe make the trader task be automatically be acquired after the first reset or swap tasks augment with signal decryption augment. Ability to lock a certain type of material to a storage unit, so when its empty other materials don't automatically go in there. [spoiler]Spatial scrab and carcass container... why? You have to increase the base to the level 2's instead of starting at level one. Its useless and cost too much to upgrade.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Task Master is a great concept but its too much materials and time for the little passive output they do. Maybe add augment trees to upgrade it or reduce the cost and time to make.[/spoiler] Overall, for its price and game play, I think its a really fun game

Turns into a total slog when you unlock driving i cant be ♥♥♥♥♥♥

It's fine. Vibes are great, inventory management is nice, progression is a bit short and automation dont have enough conditions, but overall it's a cool little game to play on second monitor for a week or two.

One of the most unique Incremental Idle games that kept me constantly engaged despite being an Idle game.

In the short time I've played this game I've quickly realized something. This game offers a weird kind of nostalgia. Something from my childhood, I can't quite put my finger on it, reflects in this game. I love the experience this game has to offer and its unique oldschool "mini-clip/flash game" vibe is unmatched. This man took GoDot and absolutely BLESSED us.

I'm not usually a big fan of idle games. I'll play them for awhile and then they just lose interest for me. But I played the demo for this and it grabbed me so thoroughly I decided to give it a try, and I don't regret it one bit. Yes, an IDLE game does involve just waiting sometimes. You can turn the game off, or put it in the background, and come back to it later. But the inclusion of the grid mechanics in this game add a perfect level of interactivity. While I am waiting to travel to the next POI, or farming resources at one, I'm also tetris-ing together my body layout and inventory, trying to optimize my energy production and storage. I love a good "organize this space" cozy game, so yes, this is my idea of fun. Try out the demo. Know what you're getting into by trying the game, and idk maybe also reading the name of it. If you like chill but not TOO chill incremental/idle games, this one is a winner. (I do have one complaint tho: Devs, let us mirror-flip components!! Please!!)

More of an active incremental game than an idler for a large portion of the game's playtime, but enjoyable. The inventory management and "build a setup" system is interesting, [i]but[/i] I do feel like it lacks some depth. Most of the items you get only have one version of them, a few have two, and only a few of those get things later down the line that augments them - in most cases, in a way that doesn't really introduce anything innovative to it. One late game addition makes what was a weak early game power solution suddenly [i]very[/i] viable, but power storage augmentations are best used on the highest level of power storage which doesn't introduce as much variety as I'd like. Late game gets a little tedious. The balance feels a little off - The prestige system doesn't really get used that much. I did the baby version once and immediately moved on to the story progression version, then only touched the non-story version one other time right before the end of the game for fear I wasn't going to get a few of the achievements otherwise. I [i]love[/i] how achievements were handled in this, however. Most will likely be unlocked just through the normal course of play, but there isn't any of the usual "Collect literally every single piece of scrap in a world" tedium. I'd repaired the number of POIs needed for the highest level achievement naturally by late game. The achievement for filling out the augments only requires that you put one point in each augment, so beyond the first point you can still build your augments how you like. No achievements felt like they were actively wasting your time. I'd love to see the systems developed further. A number of them feel kind of tacked on or as stopgaps for stronger gameplay mechanics - Let us unlock things like the replicator, but make it be another component that we have to have in our grid to operate, rather than a separate menu that feels kind of 'free'.
