I’m open to options, but I’d especially like to find some that have some sort of real-time, directly controlled primary loop (rather than clicker, or autobattler or that). Basically, while I want it to be an incremental game, I’d still like it to feel like there is a satisfying primary loop.

Also, obvious I’d like to avoid anything pay to win or reliant on microtransactions.

Edit: clarification on primary loop

Edit 2: games in the same style include Berry Bury Berry, A Game About Digging a Hole, Scritchy Scratchy (does have an Android port), and a lot of old Flash games.

      Once you play antimatter dimensions you will never be able to play another idle game again. By far the best game of this genre

      I know it sounds insane but it lowkey ruined this entire genre for me because every other idle game has so much less content and mechanics

        I loved it so much until the reality update? One that requires you to “code” everything manually. It fell into the same trap as most other idles in that I spent more time copying a guide than I did playing.

        Was bloody excellent until then though. I fully agree that it ruined other idles for me.
