First few hours are great, but the poor balance and annoyances build up the closer you are to the end
[list]
[*] Many upgrades are coupled with a downside that are either annoying or brick your run, and you can only get rid of it by reseting
[*] The reset animation is pretty cool but also very long and unskippable, which gets old pretty fast
[*] The build diversity is wide but shallow. Many things can combo and do work together, but only a few builds played to perfection can actually achieve victory
[/list]
These things would probably not make it the best roguelite out there, but I feel its worse for being an idler
Experimenting a build, trying something out or making a mistake will cost you hours

(the) Gnorp Apologue is a fantastic incremental game about chipping away at a mysterious stone with the help of a small army of 'Gnorps': a tiny, yet persistent and formidable species. It has such a charming aesthetic, and a lovely soundtrack to go along with it.
Unlike many other incremental games, this one is 'semi-idle'. In order to beat the game, it will require your attention and a little bit of strategy. There are many upgrades you can experiment with to discover various synergies. It's all about finding the right ones to get you over the game's final "damage check".
Overall, I'd give this game 4.5/5 stars, only because it left me wanting more. If you like incremental games, you'll love this one.

It's not very nice when games stop to work after updates. And so is this review.

i actually forgot to make a review of this game back when i completed it, but its best to be later than never. gnorp apologue is probably one of the best idlers in terms of the gimmick, being simply damaging a rock. you can upgrade to get "gnorplings" hit the rock in various ways and soon after, applying various effects. further on, talents can be used to do things even greater, resulting in an assembly of those rascals beating up the rock till it spews out a mountain of shards - a nice show to see. the early game can be easily cheesed through using an auto-clicker and there is obvious inequalities from each upgrade, however, i still feel like this is still a good idler to get for the fun of it. other than the changes i mentioned, this is still pretty awesome. thanks devs

One of the most uniquely interesting idle games ever created. Yet unlike most other gem idle games, it's not just sitting on release state, it's still getting updates, and feedback is being taken into consideration, which would be worth a positive review alone, yet the gameplay surpasses any positive remarks about the developers, as it's supremely fun, and visually engaging.

I had lots of fun with this game. Was very addicting. This was my first entry into the Idle genre and the game left a good impression. Makes me want to try something else that is similar to this.

For an idler this game is quick but it does slow down towards the end. Especially if you're not using the right upgrades. The game really wants you to use the right upgrades to win. I struggled a little trying to make a strategy work that just wasn't going to work.
I'd rate this about a 6/10. The upgrades were a bit subdued and big numbers never really happened. I slightly enjoyed my time with the game but I think the gameplay is forgettable. The visuals are not forgettable and I'm impressed with how much the dev was able to do with so ilttle.

Beat it, spent a good 35 hours finding out what works/what doesn't. For 5,69 this is more than a steal, it's a deal.
