What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Loading Screen Simulator is a deliberately absurd clicker game that transforms the tedium of waiting for a loading screen into an incremental progression system, with players finding humor and charm in its self-aware simplicity and variety of upgrades that speed up or humorously alter the experience. The core gameplay loop of clicking to earn points and purchasing upgrades is straightforward and functional, though some players note minor bugs and the game's brevity means the novelty wears off once you understand the joke.

It's interesting but only if you're looking for a clicker game that grinds and eats up time. I'd put this somewhere on the level of Emily Is Away. The achievements are a bit of a slog and are kind of unclear on what you need to be doing for some of them. Loading Screen Simulator provides no direction, but very little challenge. The game is basically just clicking over and over again.
