I think I might just like games in which lots of particles fly around the screen. That’s was a big part of the appeal ofTo The Core, an incremental game with the spectacle ofVampire Survivors. I think it’s now the reason I want to play the oddly named(the) Gnorp Apologue. It’s an incremental town builder about… gnorps.
Those upgrades can include unlocking gnorps with psychic powers, gnorps that grow flowers, gnorps that build rockets and drones - all of which can be turned towards gathering more shards more efficiently. There’s apparently a substantial theorycrafting element to the game, as you pick your way through the upgrade tree and set your gnorps specific tasks.
I’m unlikely to be engaged enough - or smart enough - to meaningfully get into the mathematically optimal way to advance. I’m more interested in the colourful pixels flying around the screen in the trailer. I love swarms of things:
