I couldn't really get any replay value out of it, but damn, I got my money's worth.
A quite interesting click game; I think there are some things missing to make it more dynamic because it quickly falls into that common loop seen in games of this genre where progress takes quite a while. However, the idea is interesting, and the beginning is very good.
Although I'm not very well versed in the genre, (the) Gnorp Apologue is a cute lil' idle/incremental game with a surprisingly extense layer of stategy with a lot of visual flair to it, and unlike others it actually has an end goal that's attainable for the casual player and, overall, is a fun time.
As you're tasked with leading your Gnorp creatures with putting shards from the jelly-bean looking rock into resources to use for different buildings, housing to recruit more Gnorps or weapons and utilities to hit the rock even harder in order to cause a Compression Event, you notice how there's a lot of ways to go about it if you prioritize certain units over others. It's a pretty fun time waster, and also sorta challenging in the endgame to figure things out. And that is probably its biggest hold back, it can get tedious to do stuff near the end due to how slow progression gets at that point, but if you're nearing the end you most likely already have a pretty extense knowledge of your buildings, units and prestige upgrades, so in all it becomes a pretty satisfying experience to finish.
A pretty neat surprise to close off 2023.

peak idle
the actual best idle game out there somehow. it has an ending too!!! wild to pull of an ending while being this good frankly
Accruing a giant pile of stuff is a very fun concept but it gets way too slow in the endgame. It tries to focus on build-crafting but many talents aren't viable. I'd like to see an infinite mode.
