Message to the devs: there is a mobile game which is just shamelessly stealing everything about this game and it's filled with microtransactions according to a 1* reviewer The game is called "Rocklings Empire: Idle Clicker" and I urge you guys to take action against them I will not stand for this awesome idle game to be defaced by the scummy mobile predation tactics to suck money out of the players To the players: this game is chill, awesome and has alot of content to it most of which I probably have yet to see dispute my time played (only afk'd 2 nights) NOMINATE GNORP

straight up "gnorping" it. and by "it", haha, well. let's just say. My apologue

May 2024

This was such a bad idea. I had one day off work today. I thought "Hey, I'll launch this new idler I bought earlier while I do chores around the apartment, this way it gives me a little break every now and then." Let's just say, the chores were the breaks. Don't expect to be able to just leave and do whatever. You'll think "Okay just one more prestige, just one more tier, just waiting for this one to finish and then i'll just get one more gnorp, oh right i wanted to get that too..." Rinse and repeat. Almost seven hours this game has been launched on my PC today, and I'm pretty sure I was actively in front of it for like, six... My day off went by, my apartment is still a mess, but at least i have gnorps.

One of the best, innovative idle/clicker games I've played including Universal Paperclips, Candy Box and Cookie Clicker. This isn't just a bunch of buttons on a screen; the animations, music, and art are fantastic and fun. It's cutesy and you quickly love your little gnorps like you would lemmings. It does eventually devolve in to your usual 'I can't see shit' idle game but there's a joy in that. It has a good balance of per-run progression and persistent progression. Many of the upgrades have actual mechanics and it isn't just a case of 'number go up'. It might not always be obvious what the best choice is and some choices can actually be counterproductive in combination with your current setup but it's fun to work out what combinations give you those exponential multipliers and sweet sweet dopamine release. My biggest criticism is the ramp up - I probably spent half of my active play time on my first couple runs but once got some decent persistent upgrades, it is incredibly quick to finish the game. That being said, I'd take this any day over some idle games where you get to a stage where you have to leave the game running for a day before you make even the slightest progression (or pay for it in the cash shop ;) ). I 100%'d this game in around 15 hours (with around 8 of those being away from screen), it's decent value for the price I paid and the developers seem active so I'm looking forward to what they add next.

At its core, (the) Gnorp Apologue is much like your garden-variety Cookie Clicker, except with: - A steady growth of mechanical depth, which leads to actual invested decision making - Resource accumulation times which are timed excellently, so that you pretty much always have some time to thoughtfully plan/eagerly anticipate whatever you'll do next, while practically never dragging on for so long that you get bored of waiting around - A clean, simple, highly tangible interface which offers a great way to visualize progress - OUTRAGEOUS levels of optimization, especially given how over-the-top things can get visually - A great knack for prodding at one's curiosity with tooltips and the like, while still making sure that those things make sense once you see them in action - A lovely little sense of humor which never gets too overbearing - A humble, earnest dev who's willing to communicate, and is actively invested in making sure that YOU get your money's worth, rather than the other way around Now, be aware that (the) Gnorp Apologue is quite short, as incremental games go - 8 hours of play to reach the official ending, in my case - but even then, it's only because the dev made a good call on when the gameplay loop would start to lose its luster, and chose to provide a nice, clean hopping-off point. (And even then, if you haven't had enough of numbers going up, you still have the option to just keep on going, in one way or another.) The bottom line is, this funny little gnorp game costs less than an Overwatch 2 skin, and I still got more honest-to-goodness fun out of it in the past two days than I could wring out of the entirety of Activision-Blizzard over the past five years. If you got a couple bucks lying around and a few afternoons to spare, then I'd say to do yourself a favor, and set some aside for (the) best little indie game that I've played in months.
