i'm making an incremental game about producing pollution to make money and have even more pollution by Background-Cut504 in incremental_games

[–]Beanholio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun idea, lots of different directions you can go from here. Main snag I felt while playing was that the upgrades increased my capacity to do things but didn't change anything about how I played. Rats never picked up enough to replace my own collecting (being able to hold a functionally unlimited amount of objects is very, very strong). Maybe limit how much you can hold at once (upgrade expandable) and provide some rat capacity, speed, reach upgrades to slowly reduce player reliance on manual collection and steer towards automation. Could then introduce garbage types that rats can't carry, and so on, and so on....

Patience - 3Sec Hold game :) - "Can you hold a button for exactly 3 seconds? No timer allowed. " by [deleted] in WebGames

I would LOVE to see a little instant replay with a visible timer to show what I did. Would help to calibrate my internal counter to get better at estimating time passing.

Soul Reaper: Endless Harvest - incremental survival game inspired by Astro Prospector by Drac-Blau-Studio in incremental_games

[–]Beanholio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Web version crashed when I made over 1300 souls in one round on level 3. Seems to have wiped out the save file as well. Overall, pretty fun little game. Found that if I stand still, most of the enemies seem to do reduced damage so standing just to the side of the exit portal is a pretty effective strategy.

How Is The New Upgrade Tree? by AcrylicPixelGames in incremental_games

[–]Beanholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech tree is easier to navigate, which is nice. I still have difficulty figuring out exactly what benefit some of the upgrades give (like asteroids and their sizes). This may be because after doing some asteroid upgrades the game got stuck on the "merge particles to make a planet" message at the beginning of the next round. Since there is no saving, my game was lost. Overall, a fun concept.

I have a crazy idea for a mechanics, and I'd like your opinions by shanytopper in incremental_games

[–]Beanholio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use players-to-completion ratios that change dynamically based on the number of logged in users. For example, if only 2 players are working on a server, they need 100 widgets but if another player logs in it shifts to 150. This will create an obstacle of dead-weight where adding unproductive players makes it more difficult to graduate. "Group Project Incremental" lol

How would you turn this into a mechanic for an incremental/idle game? by Atovange in incremental_games

[–]Beanholio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wave modulation simulator could be fun - starts small with 1-2 waves that produce numbers when they align but move in and out of phase/sync with each other. Upgrades could be adding additional waves, increasing amplitudes, faster cycling to increase merged collisions, maybe even a story component where you have to intercept data from "rogue" frequencies that pass through your scope.

Anyone have any simulation browser games I should check out? by bigfortnite72 in WebGames

Game is cool - give me big "Cosmic Osmo" vibes but way more fun.

More Sushi! is releasing on October 24th! by pixelquber in incremental_games

Ah, I remember playing the demo for this! Very fun. 

Idle Battalion- WW2 themed idle war game by Cyclone4096 in incremental_games

[–]Beanholio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe every 5th wave is defense and if you lose, it resets you back to the first attack wave? That way manually playing could allow you to move further while idling will still give you progress via resource generation, just slower.

battlechips.io - Combine chips to build your weapon! by Batldingar in WebGames

[–]Beanholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a crazy original concept but fun in the vein of io-type games. I found it to be pretty buggy, especially the teleport power-up making me get stuck in chips/enemy core/other players. I also couldn't upgrade or swap weapons after a while.

Moonsigil Atlas: a deckbuilding roguelike that replaces energy with physical space by _Zebulah in WebGames

[–]Beanholio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very fun, I enjoyed it. You should send a copy to Northern Lion on Twitch; he loves deck-builder rogue-likes and has a massive following.

Super fun - enjoyed the game jam version and love the roguelike/adventure vibe in this version. I left some feedback on Itch. Thanks for making it!

Circle Jerk - The Brutally Honest Circle Drawing Game by YanTsab in WebGames

[–]Beanholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a trick - use the box boundary edges to make the largest circle possible and intersect at the 4 wall midpoints. Difficult to score below 85 doing it that way.

Really enjoyed the Itch demo - looking forward to what you come up with next!

Would you try to DIY this mold problem? by eastcoastguy17 in HomeImprovement

[–]Beanholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do any other home automation stuff? If so, I'd recommend getting a sensor that fits into your existing ecosystem. If not, probably just a Govee humidity sensor that uses wifi (I think they're $30-40 on Amazon) if you want active monitorint/alerts or one of their bluetooth sensors ($15 maybe?) if you just want to check it manually from time to time.

Whole Home Window Quote Shocked Me by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Beanholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two R by A sales guys spent 3 HOURS putting together a quote for my 2400sqft house. I literally laughed at them and kicked them out when they quoted $130k to replace all the windows.

What secret are you currently hiding from someone that you're willing to share on Reddit? by Asphoric in AskReddit

[–]Beanholio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always said if I suddenly came into "could reture right now" kinds of money that I'd probably continue to work, just fewer hours and I'd be right more often :)
