I’m a big fan of idle, casual gaming. I enjoy games I can play in a browser without having to download games and waste space on my PC or cell phone.
I’ve mentioned this topic a few times in the past and will always point my readers to a new source when I find them. I found the mother lode at https://mortgagecalculator.org/money-games/. I’ve tested a bunch of games out and review a few that caught my eyes.
I’ve always enjoy tower building games. There have been some in the past, but they can be intense with a lot of dead spots and unhappy tenants and business owners. This one lets you manage businesses and upgrade shops with a click of a mouse.
I enjoy the managing and idle aspect of the progression you can earn when you are away from the game. I haven’t seen this with any tower game I’ve played in the past. The more you upgrade stores, elevators and managers, the more money you earn while sitting idle.
This game is an clicker game that has an idle aspect to the game. As a person who runs his own web business, the theme really hit close to home. The more upgrades you buy, whether it be a server or advertising, the more you earn per manual click or when its idle. It’s a simple, yet fun game to play on your browser.
I initially thought this was going to be more of an idle, casual game, but it’s an game where you maximize the amount of energy you produce. You have to continually adjust the wind turbine to get the most win and place the solar panels away from the clouds. I wouldn’t say this is a long-term game to play, but if you have a dozen minutes of free time, it’s an entertaining game.
I mentioned my lover of tower games above, and Corporate Overlord is a different kind of tower game. You have to build businesses and upgrade each one by investing into research and development. You have different goals that are needed before you can add certain businesses, It’s a fun business strategy tower game that I could see myself playing for hours.
This game seems rather topical for what is going on right now. You have to direct the flight patterns and landings of different airplanes coming in. The game can be pretty crazy with many planes coming within close distances of each other. There are many different levels and locations that you will need to pass. It can become pretty intense with even helicopters flying in the path of many different planes. I can see why the air traffic controller job can be a difficult profession.
