“A very cool little game, it's simple but enjoyable for a few hours, my sole negative points are on the frequency of the minigames. A upgrade too delay their occurences would be good.”

“Finished the game in 5 hours. It's a simple, resources management game that is also slightly challenging. Doesn't really have replayability since all the stages are fixed. The mini games are kinda annoying though. I…”
“Excellent game! Very well done and balanced between the difficulty at the beginning of the islands and the grind at the end of them. The mini-games provide a nice diversity of actions and gameplay. Simple, efficient.…”

“Fun little game for the short time it took to get all achievements. The translation is wonky and throwing random french at you every now and then. The game takes a lot of cpu to run, otherwise it's pretty fine.”

“Cool little game that is relaxing and help me pass the time! I recommend although it is still a little rough on the edges with some missing textures.”
“Today I tried this cheerful little game. I honestly expected some kind of scandalous Stardew Valley competitor — all those positive reviews and cute visuals fooled me. So I installed it, launched it… and suddenly I was…”

“The mini games are horrible!!! The game in general gets very annoying and repetitive. Has a lot of potential if the devs removed the friction.”

“Little Incrementisles starts out fresh and fun. You have buildings, upgrades, resources, etc. The first prestige is also reasonably fun. However, the issue that I had with this game is that it walks backwards. The…”

“Little Incrementisle is really pleasant to play. The difficulty is highly adaptable based on your own choices, and starting from island 4, it brings UNEXPECTED surprises and complex management mechanics that keep you hooked. You easily get 3 to 10 hours of entirely free content…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“It is not a bad game, but definitely not the one I expected. I thought it would be an idle incremental game, while it rather is a real time strategy resource optimizer. You're not going to chill and try to figure out an optimized way to create more and more resources. You're…”

Plus the game is a small passion project from a big french streamer and his friend, and it's their first game as well. There are however several mechanics in the…”
