its a clicker game

but you aim

we're making progress boys

Idle games are identified primarily by the fact that progress continues even when you are not actively interacting with them. This typically requires that they be very simplistic, linear, and have a very narrow scope, the same features that allow Donald Trump to keep running for President.

This type of game has certainly enjoyed a resurgence lately. I say resurgence because idle games have been around for a very long time. Longer than video games for sure. Idle games go back about as far as humanity, with discoveries by archaeologists revealing many of the idle games early humans played, such as "Is the tiger still in front of the cave?", and ones that have been played for thousands of years, like "Grow crops in the desert".

The idle games of our ancestors have about as much relevance to our lives as the presidential bids of the aforementioned Donald however, so let us move on to Time Clickers, which in case you have forgotten, is the game I am currently reviewing.

Ahem. Oddly enough, Time Clickers comes along during a large spike in idle game releases, following such titles as Clicker Heroes, Adventure Capitalist, Wacky Clicky Whatever ♥♥♥♥ It, and FarCry 4. So what does Time Clickers bring to the table that no one else has? Seriously, the table is getting kinda crowded. I tried to eat my cereal this morning and had to keep brushing aside power-ups the whole time.

Time Clickers does, as the name implies, let you spend all of your time clicking enemies, so does every other idle game. You can also spend your resources to hire and upgrade minions to do the clicking for you, and so does every other idle game. You can "ascend", and start over while earning a sort of meta-currency to spend on permanent upgrades, and, yeah, so does every other idle game. Honestly, I'm not having much luck finding any unique features in Time Clickers, so lets just move on, shall we.

The graphics are pretty cool, and are probably the only reason I'm playing it now after getting burned out on other, pretty much identical games. Time Clickers just looks nice, and the cubes that make up the enemies are animated enough to make it feel like something is happening, so it feels a bit less, um, idly? Sometimes, if I'm really getting immersed in the game, I like to pretend that the cubes are cylinders, but that's just the creative sort of person I am.

I suppose I recommend Time Clickers, because it can entertain you for a while, and it costs nothing, but it's not the sort of hearty recommendation I would give to a game like Fallout 4, which isn't even out yet. Idle games just aren't for everyone, but then again neither is Donald Trump, so what the heck. Time Clickers for President!

It started with AdVenture Capitalist...i got really into that game...then i played click heros.....now this....I need Help

too many clickers too much addiction

oh god not another one

Let me preface this review with the fact that I generally dislike any of the "clicker" games. I played "Adventure Capitalist" and the "Cookie Clicker" like games for a while but quickly lost interest. I think the reason for this was lack of player interaction. I felt like I am better off just not playing the game and farming. Now, THIS game. This game is in a way absolutely BRILLIANT. Sure, it gets coins for you while you are gone but when you are playing you are given a gun you can ACTUALLY aim with! Fancy that! Even with tons of upgrades alot of bosses CAN'T be killed without actually getting in the firefight, which entices players to play more. I HATE time waster games normally because they are 99% of the time riddled with microtransactions or just sophomorically made. Thankfully "Time Clicker" possesses none of those traits. ZERO microtransactions, this game is actually

100% FREE

It also has a cloud save system so you can play on the go on your Android or iOS device. The soundtrack is pretty fun too. It's standard electro/dubstep but it gets you pumped up.

10/10 ~ Isn't made by the greedy and swindling "King" and doesn't ask for your credit card information.

If that wasn't a shining endorsement of this game, I don't know what is.
