A Dark Room

Top Pro

Simplistic gameplay grows the longer one plays

Starting out there is only one button to pick from, to stoke ones fire, but slowly the game progresses and allows for more actions such a gathering wood and then building things with that wood. The deeper the player goes into the game the more there will be to do witch keeps the player intrigued as to what will be available next. See More

Top Con

Lack of explanation

There is no tutorial, there is no explanation of what is happening in the game. While controls are easy to figure out one does not ever really know why they are doing the things they choose to do in the game, which may be too vague for some users. See More

Top Pro

Easy to understand controls

The controls for the game never changes from the original outset, click on the corresponding button for the action one wants to perform. While more and more buttons will be added, the core concept does not change. See More

Games can prolong for however you want

There's no penalty for leaving the game in the middle, if you're at work. See More

Top Con

Random respawns can lead to instant death

The game often sees players respawn right next to a large enemy which leads to them instantly dying, this can be frustrating when it happens a lot to a player. See More

Raghu Ranganathan's Experience

A very stable, simple game. This exploded sometime in the last two years, and has somewhat quieted down. It still has an enourmous player base, and is fun until you realize the amount of time you wasted on it. Good to play during work, I'd say. See More

Top Pro

Deep gameplay

While looking overly simplistic there is a good bit of strategy to the game as players can split their cell in order to confuse or surprise attack foes as well as spit out excess cells in order to change one's size. See More

Top Pro

Players can customize their cell

For those that register for the game they can customize their cell in order to have specific words or even use pictures. This allows one to stand out in the game and other players may take notice if you are often playing. See More

Top Pro

Fun and addictive

The mechanics of navigating the screen area aren't all that easy to understand, so it's as much about figuring out the limitations of the board as it is about running away from the big guy. See More

Top Pro

Addictive "gameplay"

While after 15 clicks the game can play itself, the constant goal of improving how many cookies one can click is pretty addictive in that there is always something to be improved upon. See More

Top Con

Some may see the game as not a game

Incremental or as some know them "idle" games are not always received well by those looking for something with a bit more skill needed, basically the game will play itself at some point and from that point forward which can be pretty boring. So for those that are not interacting with the game that often (no clicking, no checking in often) it can be less of an interactive title than what some are looking for. See More

Top Pro

You never know what is next

Each upgrade costs more and more cookies to purchase and each hidden upgrade is not made available until you reach the amount of cookies it costs, so no matter if you need 100 cookies to purchase a new Grandma or a trillion to purchase some other tool you will always be left feeling like you just need to reach that next milestone.
