Penguin Capitalism Simulator

Good little idle/progressive game. I liked that fact it is easily completable compared to some that can take years, or be indefinite.

Pros:
Compeltable
Fun idea
I like the autoplay, autofish and autoclock options.

cons:
Unsure why it is black and white for 99% of the game
The jump from the penultimate penguin goal to the final one is a lot larger than the rest.

That's exactly it: a very simple and relaxing game made by a solo dev with love (and with a touch of sarcasm and the developer’s humor). Don't expect a ton of upgrades and options - that's not the point. You just have to go with the flow and rediscover the joy of a simple clicker/idle and polished game.

Pros:
- It was so enjoyable to have a novel simple gaming experience (it reminded me of the good old days, so thanks a lot) - It takes about 15 hours to complete a first playthrough and unlock all the achievements, which is good.
- It was a perfect balance of interaction for such a clicker game (there's a bit of a wait at the end to reach the final goal, but I actually enjoyed that wait while watching my penguins). I did the first run without using the integrated cheat codes (like the autoplay mode), and I would interact from time to time, in between other things I was doing. That balance was perfect.
- The autoplay mode is cool. I used it for the prestige runs (once you've finished the game and unlocked all the achievements, you can progress through “prestige” - it's basically new runs that are a little faster because the upgrades are cheaper). It was actually fun (and a bit relaxing) to just watch the game play itself in a corner (runs are fun to see for a few times, except that, prestige doesn't add much)
- The idea is fun, and penguins are cute. I love the black-and-white style, and the nice retro style for the overlay window.
- The overlay mode window can be moved anywhere and scaled as desired, perfect when you're doing something else on the computer.
- Weird discovery but huge bonus for the controller support which is super well integrated (navigation within the game and through the menu is surprisingly smooth for a clicker game of this kind - bonus points for the sarcastic messages that pop up when you disconnect the controller mid-game!)
- Optimization+++!!! The game runs perfectly on a PC without a graphics card, even at the end of the game with tens of thousands of penguins!

Cons:
- The prestige system doesn’t offer much (but prestige isn't even mentioned in the game description - the 15 hours mentioned to reach 100% completion are there, and that experience is very pleasant and worth the 6 bucks I spent)
