So I found this while looking through achievements sets on RetroAchievements (for the interested, link to set: https://retroachievements.org/game/9467) and, uh. It's literally a clicker/idle hybrid for physical hardware. Kind of impressive, really. It's hard to describe if you've never played a game like it before, but it's mostly set up things that make you money and just wait for that to happen. Then use the money you just earned to change stuff already placed and add new stuff. Then wait for more money to roll in. Rinse, repeat. It's a zen genre, intended for the long play. Reminds me most specifically of WorkeMon.

Digital version loses some of the charm due to how emulators work. 'Changing' systems is a pain in VBAdvance and the presence of built-in convenience features, such as 200x speed, kills the intended momentum. Still, cute, worth a play if you like such games.
