Magic research 2

Honestly this game is fantastic, the first one was amazing and some how this blew it out of the water. One of the only mobile games I look forward to what’s coming next.

Entirely Devoid

Hardly idle, extremely complicated and feels like babysitting a bunch of tedious timers.

The UI is absolutely atrocious as well.

Incredible game

Amazing sense of progression and fun build types, one of the best in the genre on the App Store

why do

why do time pieces cap out at 100k? i dont feel like that makes sense for a paid game. Just took like 5 days off to accrue time pieces, come back in, realized they were capped. rest of the game is mind blowingly good if you’re into idles. ADD med paradise. not sure how one person even thinks of all that stuff. maybe serious outlines?

Incremental Masterclass

This game is now my gold standard for incremental games. If you’re reading this, buy it. It’s incredibly good.
