[Craft and Conquest]

You got a pretty good crafting system here. It's a decent way to kill time.

Only thing is that since you start from nothing, the first few hours of this game involve simply clicking the attack button on enemies. It takes SUCH a long time for battles to actually become interesting and tactical. I know the point is to build yourself up to that point, but some early options to get you started would probably go a long way toward player retention.

[High Stakes]

Pretty good probability deduction game. You can end up getting the vampire on your first card, but the gradual rising stakes mean you don't get totally screwed if that happens. (Unless you take the double or nothing offer. Generally not worth risking it because of that)

[Planet Life]

So much more substantial than a typical idle game. Definitely a new favorite.

[You are now Possessed]

Awesome concept! Solid puzzles too, not overly difficult, but enough to get me thinking. Level 13 is kind of a pain, just because it's hard to predict the behavior of the enemies, but that was the only sticking point. I just wish this concept was explored further. Great work!

[Overlord's New Mansion]

That ghost assistant is just the biggest PoS. Love it.

[Cellular Sentinel]

Too basic for it's own good. Could really use more enemy types, maybe based on splitting cells? Also, the tutorial takes far too long for how simple the gameplay is.

[The Titan's grave]

Interesting concept, and you do actually need to dodge instead of damage racing, so it's well balanced there. 1st phase is annoying because you don't get much time to react to the fist actually dropping, but it gets much better after that. Not bad overall.

Thanks for playing :)

[STARSHIP PROTOTYPE]

Decently fun to speedrun, but yeah, needs work. One thing that might help is zooming out the camera some. As it is, hazards tend to appear before you can react.

[Little Idle Monsters]

So I think this is a solid clicker game, but not a very good idle game. I think the problem is the battles. You have to be online for those, and they're your main method of progression. I blew through them so fast that the 'idle' aspect of things ended up being useless. It still succeeds as a good time-killer, though.
