About this game

Perceptron is a new incremental game which is based around the idea of building and training a neural network. The concepts behind a neural network have been distilled to their essence in this idle simulation.

Not to say the game is simple. Sure, it starts simple with only nodes, training, and data, but soon balloons into a complex idle game with prestige and upgrades. Not to mention offline support.

Take on the role of a young undergraduate student as you become quite the idle tycoon. Soon you'll be rivaling even GPT-3.

Perceptron is not just another idle clicker. It was designed around the idea of training a neural network and has taken inspiration from many neural network topics. Who knows, you might even end up learning something.

Very slow burn but it engaged me the whole time. Edit: There's more upgrades now and I'm starting to see the major flaws in the game design. The prestige layer is poorly designed, as it really only helps you to get back to where you were and doesn't push you further. Instead, the research upgrades do that, but grinding for research points is irritating. It essentially penalizes you for fast progression or for long afk sessions, as they're based on current resources + a few hours of waiting.

Pretty fresh in the world of idle games. It's slower-paced than most others, so you won't feel an instantaneous sense of progress all at once; it comes in stages. My favorite part of the game is that you are rewarded more for optimizing growth rates, and less for mindless phone-tapping. I hate "idle" games where you gain orders of magnitude more by focusing on a task than by letting it idle for a while. Here, there is pretty much no reward for sitting on your phone all day.

Ya know.. I've been playing this for about 6 months and as slow as it was to progress I've learned to appreciate this game. It's not exactly simple. But it's. Not impossible. You can spend all day on it, or 1 minute a day and still progress. Its well thought out and, considering it's simple graphics, leaves me wondering what will come next. I highly recommend anyone who likes idle games but doesn't like the daily routine that comes with most of them to try this one out.
