Kittens Game v1.5.7

★★★★★

B “moles” Metatarsal

The only "clicker game" I've played that actually feels like it has a real element of strategy and management. It just gets deeper and more complex the more time you spend with it. If you must have graphics this is not for you, but if you like watching numbers go up... hoo boy. There's a lot of numbers😅. And NO IN GAME PURCHASES! If you want to progress, you have to actually play the game and you are not penalized with painfully slow progress because you didn't buy gems or coins or whatever.

Amazing incremental but missing a star for bad ui with the fold 4 open. I do not see the production value (increasing of resources per second) under all my resources, which is frustrating.

It's fine. Progress is annoyingly slow. Actively playing is discouraged but idling is also discouraged because of resource caps; it's a weird mix that necessitates checking frequently (like every 15-30 minutes) but doesn't give you much to do every time you do open the game. It starts promising but quickly becomes a chore. Also, it isn't that deep. The "choices" you make are mostly small bonuses, and there's an optimal meta you should be following unless you enjoy wasting time.

Thought I was stuck at a point for awhile before realizing every time I logged back in it kept resetting me to the same point over and over. Trying a reinstall, but so far not very impressed.

Requires an outrageous amount of active attention for an idle game. Can only bank two hours of progress, and most of your resource caps are too small to even last that long. You need to be checking in on it more than once an hour to make any progress at all, and that's before you unlock starcharts which are basically golden cookies but mandatory for progress. At that point you're almost required to be actively watching at all times or you stall completely. Which defeats the whole point.
