Recommendations of similar games to Nodebuster?

[avoosl]

I'm a fan of idle games. Currently fallen into a rabbit hole with Cookie Clicker. Nodebuster, however, really scratches the same kind of itch but in a shorter, tighter package. Any recommendations for other quality idle/incremental/upgrade games that don't draw out the experience into hundreds of hours?

My recommendations would be:
To The Core
Gnorp Apologue
Coin Factory

idle slayer and mr.mine are also good

[ToxYukiri]

i will say though, they are VERY long

I recently played To The Core after finishing this. That game has a weird save system. There is no cloud save but it saves everything to the Windows registry. That said it is a nice idle game that is short.

If you like cookie clicker maybe Zombidle could be something. However this is on the longer side of idle games.

Any of the power washer games are functionally identical to this sweeping up resources and exploring upgrade trees.

A very similar zen at a much higher graphic quality.

.......just fewer epilepsy warnings in power washer.

If you want an idle game that works on your phone and your pc and doesn't consume your phone battery like a pig eats food I haven't found a better one than Idling to Rule the Gods.

You can also play it as a completely free player and not watch an ad ever.

Ah ♥♥♥♥. You wanted one that didn't drag out the experience to hundreds of hours my bad.

I mean but the main game is only beating Tyrant Overlord Baal pretty much and that can take less than a week to 2 weeks I'd say. Everything that comes after is Post Main Game which has a lot of content.

Have you tried Magic Archery? It's free.

I recommend You Must Build a Boat, and 10,000,000 by EightyEight Games
