Perceptron - An Idle Game

Linear upgrades that scale exponentially in cost. The whole premise is that it’s a neural network. But nothing ever scales

Love the depth

I’ve played dozens of games in this genre, this one is just… agonizingly slow and not worth it in the slightest. Spend your time elsewhere, please just trust me.

I have a question if you want to call.

So that’s 2 stars I guess? I keep coming back to it in case the beginning is just slow. But no. Every time something new unlocks it’s just more excruciatingly slow linear progress. The worst part about the game is how bad the prestige system feels. In most games, you prestige and then you catch up quickly and then progress. In this game, your prestige multiplier is capped by your current base power… so every time you reset you don’t get boosted back, you go through the same slog until you are forced to prestige. It just feels really bad. It also feels like a total ripoff of exponential idle. The style is like, identical. Exponential idle at least has some fun decision points and a feeling of actual progress.

There are no explanations on what is happening and why it’s happening.

I have never seen a “game” like this before. If you even want to call it that. It feels more like a task. I would hope for everyone that comes across this to play it at-least once in their lifetime.

Like others have said it gets to a point where you literally have to wait days to progress and it’s locked up the ability to just set your phone time forward

This is seriously the slowest game I’ve played in 40 years.

I feel like the 3rd data collection task should be a lot shorter than 5.4 hours, especially since it only yields 40 minites worth of data
