Ancient Aliens: The Game vs Tiny Pixel Farm
Ancient Aliens: The Game
Ancient Aliens: The Game is a conspiracy-themed idle city-building adventure game based on the popular TV documentary series on The History Channel, Ancient Aliens. In this game, you play as an alien hybrid who is hell-bent on learning the truth. To do so, you'll need to work with Ancient Astronaut Theorists to uncover evidence. You will also abduct primitive humans and tweak their DNA to help them advance to the next stage of civilization, just so you can further exploit the Earth's rich natural resources just to build impressive monuments to placate your alien overlords.Idle mobile games are a dime a dozen nowadays, but this game manages to stand out simply by tapping into the little voice in each of our heads that say "What if?". The "story", if you can even call it that, can be as mind-bogglingly shocking, and confusing, as the documentary series, but if you enjoy a good alien-related conspiracy or two, Ancient Aliens: The Game is definitely a game you'll want to play.
Tiny Pixel Farm
Tiny Pixel Farm is an idle farming game that is unlike any other. Backed with a heartfelt story about an elderly farmer whose farmland is slowly being claimed by greedy corporate goons, in this game, you play as the grandchild of the said farmer and you are determined to reclaim what was rightfully your family's.Although the gameplay is generally idle in nature, the idle part of the game isn't exactly textbook-styled. As opposed to fully automating everything, you still need to put in some "work" for instance, by swiping and tapping on your animals to collect produce, on your hay-producing farms to collect hay, on your pets to collect exp gems, and others. Aside from the well-design and satisfying progression system in this game, there is an insane number of animals you can keep at the farm too.
The game is also very "video ad-heavy" mainly because you will always be given an option to watch video ads in exchange for instantly completing something, be it a construction process or selling all the goods in your shop. However, what I really like about the game is how it gives you a heads-up whenever a full-screen ad is coming up and it also thanks you after you've watched a video ad. More games should seriously take a page out of this game's book and do this!
All in all, although this game does require a good (middle range to high-end) mobile device to run, Tiny Pixel Farm brings a ton of innovation to the idle gaming genre and the game does it so brilliantly well. If you enjoy idle games, farm games or both, you might want to give this game a try.
