I've not been playing much this week, since it's a travel week.

Still open are CheckBackMod - playing this one as it's not 100% completion with the pets.

Structure - let's see how far I get this time.

Idle Awakening - a cultivation game with many, many branches. I get the feeling it's years to complete all possibilities, even at its current development stage. Warning, it's slow.

I've played through many of the games submitted to the NYIGJ - we're still in the rating period for the next few hours!

Edit: this isn't an incremental but it is a tremendous time sink if you have the sort of brain I have. Guess the location and year the picture was taken. Bastards. TimeGuessr

There are three incremental games I play regularly.

Leaf Blower Revolution: this one is available through Steam on desktop and through Apple & Android app stores. Playable on mobile but much more enjoyable on desktop. I’m starting to get a bit burned out on this game.
Egg Inc: this one is available through Apple & Android app stores. I’ve been playing this one since summer 2020 when I ragequit AventureCapitalism. I’ve gotten most everything out of this game that I care to. I continue playing primarily because of a couple Discord communities I’m in, and because I’m too stubborn for my own good. There are ads but they are entirely optional. In contract play (the only way you interact in-game with other players), the ability to cash rush is time-limited. Probably the most annoying thing about this game is the regular in-game reminders to sign up for the premium monthly Egg Inc Ultra subscription.
Home Quest: this one is available through Apple & Android app stores. This is the most recent one I’ve started, a bit over a month ago (mid-December 2024). There are no ads and no cooperative or competitive play against other players (that I’ve found so far). There is an in-game purchase (10 USD) but I’ve been fine so far without it. My biggest gripe about this game is that the documentation isn’t terribly extensive. Yes, there is a semi-official Discord server, and they do have some end game stuff pinned, but there isn’t nearly as much explanation of things as I’d prefer. There’s a Fandom.com site for this game, but it’s also sorely lacking.
