Mini Painter

I a mini painter and this simulator caught my eye. If you like idle, casual games... this is for you...

Very slow progression and you're too forced to interact with the game, even though there's only one button to press. I love the art style and the general theme of it, but it's not the classic Idler that you put on the bottom of your screen to focus on your work while you make satisfying progress. And it seems like buying better stuff doesn't really give you any benefits or rather it's quite unclear what they really improve.. For example, the bed, which is supposed to provide the greatest relaxation, actually makes the character recover even more slowly than just standing around... So yeah.. Now that I have it, I'll collect the achievements, but I can't really recommend it. In addition, the game has been abandoned (Developers call it "finished") even though there would have been still some things to fix about it.

Cheap and chill. I love it

i'm going to recommend this but also have it come with a warning that this is VERY idle. there are some things to click but mostly, it's just waiting and watching. i don't always mind that because i put these games on and then go get other stuff done. the art is cool and i like the references to pop culture in the "upgrades" and miniatures that your little guy paints. it's just SO SLOW. i think the upgrade buffs need balancing. maybe more stuff to interact with? luckily the price on this game is low so at least the cost vs amount of time "played" is good.

Stat level up was weird from the start. but then I bought the bed and his relaxation bar recovery slowed to a crawl. Mystifying, and frustrating enough to make me uninstall without finishing.

Love this tiny man!!!
