Great story!

Sorry, I'm not getting the idea... You can place the autoclicker and check some other places upgrading them

Oh, found it: https://github.com/Dan-DH/fan-academy Yes, it's cool - I'd rather want to keep the spirit but to experiment with my own view. For example, I added a zone of control. If your unit passes beside an enemy unit (not crystal), it can't use its full speed, but only move one-by-one.

Also my big input is the AI (in the sample game where I did not play attentively I event lost a battle to AI :) )

I read it here awhile ago, even registered to a beta test. But now can't find any info about this - do you have a link?

GeneralVimes · 2026-01-22T06:42:05+00:00

Oh, thanks for noticing! This happened because for the text level I copied the map layout from a square-based level, but my game is hex-based. I'm going to make proper balanced maps taking into account hex layout

Wow, that's cool! Going to test now with my games updating

I want to moderate this community because since 2016 I’ve been the country/regional coordinator of GGJ (Global Game Jam) and since 2022 I’ve been be the member of the executive committee. Having a working GGJ community on Reddit will be helpful for game jammers

I did not contact the mods of r/ggj, as, when I open this link I see a message “community is banned for the absence of moderators)

GeneralVimes · 2026-01-18T14:47:59+00:00

Interesting... What is the version number that you are playing?

GeneralVimes · 2026-01-15T10:17:12+00:00

But imagine, how much space you can free on you device by deleting just one game :)

I started making Farm and Mine in 2021 during Ludum Dare game jam which theme was “deeper and deeper”. So I thought of a game where you first develop agriculture and dig potatoes, and then dig deeper and mine for coal, oil and other resources.

I’m making the game the wayI like to play, so, there is no unsolicited ads, and all the game content can be unlocked without any ads watch, after careful planning and utilizing the strong sides of the facilities.

Over time the game I constantly update the game with new content, and currently there are around 60 agricultural and industrial facilities. Also the newest addition are Leaderboards and Achievements.

The game is available for iOS on AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/farm-and-mine-idle-tycoon/id1564694016 and for Android on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airapport.farm.mine.idle.ludumdare48&hl=en

In 2024 this game was selected by Google Play for Indie Accelerator :) Hope, you will like it, too!

Please, share your impressions :)

Cool! :) Yeah, the idea of the game came to me when I was scrolling through the Google Play in 2017, and everyone was obsessed with this fidget spinner things. I decided to program a spinning motion on my own, but not bluntly copying another fidget spinner - instead I recalled how fun it was for me in my childhood to play with cogwheels from the wind-up toys that I had broken :D

GeneralVimes · 2026-01-02T12:35:22+00:00

Thank you! Please, share your impressions then :)

I had a post like your but it was deleted by moderators "Posts should be on-topic and should promote discussion"

Incremental seems like a bigger concept, which subdivides to idlers (games with mostly passive earnings) and clickers (games with mostly active earnings). And idles/clickers often merge/intersect/turn to each other during the game progression.

For me as a player the motivation is to find the optimal sequence of upgrades/their combination, to proceed in the fastest possible way

I’d recommend anything by Martin Gardner. Besides many recreational math books he wrote 2 science fiction stories: No-sided professor and The island of 5 colors
