All Hail the Orb
All Hail The Orb is a short, quirky pixel-art incremental game about powering a mysterious orb, summoning cultists, exploring a dungeon and slowly unlocking automation as devotion builds. The tone is light-hearted and a little silly with no fail states, relaxed pacing, and yes...many, many ducks.

90% idle game, the rest is a bit of space exploration (Out There, Star Control), resource management and inventory management (Dredge, Factorio lite). The game flattens out after a couple of resets as perks and cycles are underwhelming. And basically none of end game content: you do not see anything new and exciting past meeting traders. As of now I think it's a good value anyway.
I cannot understand the negative and middling reviews of this game, except to say that maybe some people are having a hard time designing their ships? I don't know. It's a little strange to me. First off, I would not have called this an idle game. I didn't idle once, I played actively the whole time, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It gripped me hard right out of the gate, I stayed up way too late the first night, and the next morning I put off starting work for for like 3 hours because I couldn't put it down. Hidden inside this little 'inventory management' game is a brilliantly executed puzzle which asks you to make hard choices about what to carry and what to drop, design an efficient spacecraft, and accumulate resources to keep the whole thing in motion. In my first moments with the game, I did not even realize there was a map. I thought the whole game was going to play out on the inventory and ship grids. I was shocked and delighted when navigation unlocked and I realized what was in store for me. The pacing and progression is sublime. Even 20 hours in, I was still being rewarded with a new ship part I hadn't seen yet. You get fed throughout the whole experience, but it never feels overwhelming, and there are no lulls. You will go from a cramped grid that can't fit half of the things you want, having to click click click to power the whole thing, just trying to eke out a little more juice and metal, stopping at a POI to click click click some scarce resources into your inventory... to a behemoth of a ship that is making all its own power and resources in ways you would not have imagined earlier on, that travels from point to point on its own, gutting the location and sucking up all the goodies based on how you configured it to do so. By the end of the game I was gleefuly zooming from one spot to another, slurping up the resources in a matter of 8-10 seconds, automatically picking up the pieces I wanted, and then zooming to the next spot. All along the way you are completing objectives to advance a separate system which rewards you with access to powerful gear. The prestige system, which is quite different from pretty much anything I've played, is really a nice, fresh experience. Starting over the first time with a few perks that help you springboard off the knowledge you gained during the first run feels very satisfying. Then, your next prestige can (should?) be very powerful, with lots of points, stemming from the systems you opened up with the first reset. It's really quite well designed. The art style is so consistent and the use of color so considered, you can look at pretty much any item in the game, without having seen it before, and know what kind of thing you're looking at. Ship part, material, consumable, whatever, they each have a distinct, coherent style that works beautifuly. And! If it happens to be a ship part, you can probably get a sense of what its state is. On, off, working, idle, waiting, etc. Just at a glance, no hovering or tooltip needed. Not to say that there are not tooltips. Because there are, and they're informative, dynamic, and so easy to parse. Again, they are consistent, which makes it a breeze to see if this part is ready for an upgrade, or why this grabber isn't picking anything right now, or how much of a multiplier is this amplifier applying to my salvager right now? Again, the use of color here to delinate and draw your eye is super well done. Even the music and sound, which are so often overlooked in indie games like this, are excellent. The music helps set the atmosphere wonderfully, and the sound effects are all nice. Best part, is how informative the sound effects are. They are distinct and meaningful, so they convey a lot of information to the player in a very efficient way. The only thing I can find in the whole game to pick on is that mouse wheel rotation is totally backwards. Up/forward is always clockwise! It's a rule. I spin things around like an idiot way more than I should admit. (Oh, and I really wish I could mirror rotate parts. That would be seriously game changing for designs.) (Second oh, I wish I could mute the beating heart towards the end. It's driving me a little crazy)
More of an active incremental game than an idler for a large portion of the game's playtime, but enjoyable. The inventory management and "build a setup" system is interesting, but I do feel like it lacks some depth. Most of the items you get only have one version of them, a few have two, and only a few of those get things later down the line that augments them - in most cases, in a way that doesn't really introduce anything innovative to it. One late game addition makes what was a weak early game power solution suddenly very viable, but power storage augmentations are best used on the highest level of power storage which doesn't introduce as much variety as I'd like. Late game gets a little tedious. The balance feels a little off - The prestige system doesn't really get used that much. I did the baby version once and immediately moved on to the story progression version, then only touched the non-story version one other time right before the end of the game for fear I wasn't going to get a few of the achievements otherwise. I love how achievements were handled in this, however. Most will likely be unlocked just through the normal course of play, but there isn't any of the usual "Collect literally every single piece of scrap in a world" tedium. I'd repaired the number of POIs needed for the highest level achievement naturally by late game. The achievement for filling out the augments only requires that you put one point in each augment, so beyond the first point you can still build your augments how you like. No achievements felt like they were actively wasting your time. I'd love to see the systems developed further. A number of them feel kind of tacked on or as stopgaps for stronger gameplay mechanics - Let us unlock things like the replicator, but make it be another component that we have to have in our grid to operate, rather than a separate menu that feels kind of 'free'.
60ish hours to 100% I had a blast. it start as an active clicker then for the main part its a backpack organizer with automation. Then it become an idler with crafting. Oh and there is also some quest. I really had a hard time to stop playing it. It is unique, fun and really worth the price tag.
