If I could give a rating of "meh" I would.
Given the Overwhelmingly Positive rating I was expecting something a bit more exciting. I was also thrown off by the screenshots and videos of compression events making me thing the game had a bit more spectacle.
If you liked this check out Fill Up The Hole. Inspired by Gnorp it is a faster paced but different alternative.

The game was cool, cutesy, fun enough. I think my issue was with the talent point system. You can accidentally brick yourself with incorrect builds and have to reset with no payoff for the next run. Maybe there could have been a secondary points system rewarding you on prestige to quickly boost you past the early game back to where you were or something. The devs newer game Tower Wizard, fixes this issue.
Apart from that I felt there wasn't enough active play mechanics, but then also not enough idle play mechanics to be a true idler.

Overall I give the game a "its alright"/10

I thought it would be really fun but just didn't enjoy it very much. The pacing starts out good then just falls off a cliff and leaves you wondering if you're doing something wrong. The pacing when leaving it alone for a day and letting it idle still felt way too slow. I don't like that there aren't tooltips to see what type of gnorp is doing how much damage. Instead I have to guess from the icon or hover through menus to try to find a match. There were some bugs with the UI too where a box would pop up to say I have a new upgrade available and clicking it would take me to the correct building but no upgrade was available there.

Overall, meh. I don't recommend it. It was okay at best, maybe a little interesting. But that quickly turned to frustration and boredom as the pace slowed to a crawl with seemingly no improvements to be made.

Pretty fun game, worth its price if you like these types of games, otherwise it might still be fun for animations and exploring combinations but I'd wait for a sale if you aren't that big of a fan of these games.

Fun idler that I enjoyed for the few days I played it. Great aesthetic and it has the right balance of grindy for me which is very low.

Gnorp

I've been gnorpified and I don't regret it.

yeah this is good
wish it was nicer about working on linux

Love this game! The Gnorps are very distinct with everyone one of them having their own animations, the world feels very alive. I had a hard time trying to stop playing. Love how the various units/systems interact with each other. 9/10 because I didn't see any snow leopards in my time playing.

10/10 Recommend it to your friends

A good idle game that requires most of the time you attention. It has character and is pretty unique progression wise. I would have liked more options for the end though, cause it will get pretty clear that the options for progressing get more limited as you go on.
