Good for patient optimizers.

3. Idle Space Raider

   

   An idler about a station guard patrolling space: shoot enemies and asteroids, mine ore, research tech, then spend the spoils on your ship and station. Automation slowly takes over the busywork, so the game mostly runs in the background while you drop in, tweak a build and watch the numbers climb.

8. Transport Defender

9. Incremental Adventures

A calm, minimalist idle game that rewards patient thinking over fast clicking.
