You might lose quite a few hours to this one! Clicky Islands from Karrot Games and Pocketpair Publishing has a fun genre mixture. The developer emailed GamingOnLinux about it because not only does it have Native Linux support built with Godot, but it's also developed on Linux.

So what exactly is it? The developer explained: "The main loop is gathering resources (by clicking at first), hiring villagers to automate things (a bit like a tiny Factorio), building production chains and growing tiny islands into kingdoms. You earn reputation that you spend to 'prestige' between runs, and there are some RNG and roguelike mechanics that shake up every run".

A demo is available right now ahead of the November 16th launch.

Check out the trailer below:

• Gather resources
  Start by gathering basic resources with classic clicker gameplay, then recruit units to automate the grind. You'll need mountains of materials to upgrade your island.
• Watch your colony grow
  Hire units to pump out resources, speed up production, and keep the island progressing even when you’re not clicking. Assign tasks, optimize your setup, and let (and watch) the numbers fly.
• Upgrade your island to new levels!
  Unlock new buildings, collect fresh resources, and create bigger, better production chains to power up your colony
• Unlock Upgrades
  Spend your hard-earned gold to unlock upgrades that speed up your progress and boost your island growth.
• Explore the Meta Tree
  Use your reputation to unlock powerful perks in the meta tree as you travel between islands. Every bonus you earn sticks with you, making each new run even stronger.
• Artifacts
  Explore ancient ruins on each island to collect fossils. Between switching islands, use the researcher’s table to break them and uncover artifacts that can change the gameplay. Like perks, they’re permanent and carry over to every run.

Pretty great idea overall! Looking forward to the full release.
