Scratch Inc.

It just keeps getting bigger, always something to strive for, always a fun new carrot to work toward! I’m in the monopolies stage, and still have hours of gameplay left until the final stage! It’s a simple incremental idle experience, but it’s packed with content and doesn’t force a single ad. You can purchase gold to speed up progress, change the aesthetics, etc, if you like, which is exactly how these games should be designed. I’m definitely going to finish the game, and I’m excited to buy the designer a well-earned cup of coffee to celebrate! Cheers! SUGGESTION: Make the bottom menus accessible while in another menu - currently each menu is a pop-up, and must be closed back to the scratcher before opening a separate menu. Instead, being able to hop from the Store menu straight to the Loyalties menu by selecting it at the bottom without having to return to the scratcher, for example, would be an ideal quality of life improvement.

I’ve only been playing for a day or two now but i’ve enjoyed it a lot, whenever i’m bored or looking to kill some time i’ll sit on the couch and start upgrading my scratch ticket empire and i’ve found it to be pretty rewarding and engaging. So far the game isn’t too grindy that it takes days and days of afking to feel like i’m making progress, there are 0 forced ads or purchases, the aesthetics of the game are really pleasing, and everything feels super polished and free of kinks or issues. 10/10 would recommend for all idle/incremental games. I’m hoping there’s a bunch more content I haven’t reached yet! I’m only at the company stage and would love atleast another couple weeks of gameplay 😁

It’s a solid 4 but I’m a Comedy Bang Bang / Scott Auckerbot fan so, +1. Anyway, I think the statement of balancing without IAP is meant in good faith… the game just needs a lot of balance for my taste. I like slow games but you need more to do while waiting for the slow parts to pick back up. It’s about $110 of gold to make the game feel balanced in the current state and not feel like rage quitting when hitting the next reset. 100 gold at the very end does not get you much. I feel like a reset of the gold shop would make it feel less daunting to not choose poorly for f2p. On that note, it feels bad in games like Idle Dyson Swarm when the IAP is like, $10 to completely break the game. But on the other hand the IAP here feels very expensive for what you get. Better variety of and just more in general offline rewards would be a nice way to make the game feel more rewarding, like you if you did a lot of active play to set up a nice check-in twice a day. But right now offline rewards rarely trigger for me since the last update. If it’s the last app opened I get nothing even after overnight.
