Game is not bad but I cant recommend it Not beeing able to regrow grass or auto retry stages feels bad. Currencys become obsolete pretty quick and there is no dump skill to get rid of excess. Skill tree is meh. Last 2 Achivements are a boring grind. Farming lower Levels feels often better for multiple Reasons making progression unrewarding.

This is a really great game if you need a cozy game that has relaxing music and uses little thinking, especially once you unlock auto-run :)

I really really enjoyed the demo. I loved every peace of it. So I bought the complete version today. And yeah, what should I say. It is basically the same but added some ideling at the end which I really dont like. I think there could have been much better ideas how to proceed this great idea. But maybe its just me because I actually like to play games and not only sitting and watching. Still cool to support indi developers. And I think I would have hardly recommended the game if it would have just been like the demo.

Overall, Lyca is a very slow, boring, and tedious game. With janky and inconsistent mouse controls and a poor GUI. Your first few hours will be a slog of mind-numbingly bland, tedious gameplay (see the first 12 seconds of the steam video) before it ever becomes an idle game, let alone visually or mechanically interesting (see 17 seconds). If I didn't accidentally leave it running for a couple days this weekend, I would have refunded it.

Extremely tedious start. So tedious I don't even want to get into it. Says run to gain resources and prestige. There is no resources on the ground done about 15 runs. Only time I got a resource were the 2 times I leveled up. So over 15 runs and not enough currency to buy the first upgrade still. Needs a lot of early game work.

very poorly optimized, getting 10fps despite having minimal graphics :(

I wasn't sure about it for the first 5 minutes, and then 5 hours had passed. It's not the perfect game, there are a few issues with prestige and upgrade balancing, some prestiges taking 5-6 runs to beat upgrading constantly and then suddenly you first try the next 10. Personally I didn't have a problem with performance but I do have a decent computer, I didn't drop below 60 fps though. 5 hours to 100% for a game that cost less than a fiver is great value for money and I had a great time. Very cute, very cool idea, love nature, give it a go. Well worth the money.

Fun little game! Enjoyed my time with it, quite chill and satisfying, love the lofi music. Only criticisms of it: - Upgrades are a little too free-form, I tanked my progress a couple of times going too far down the "wrong" tree early and had to back up my prestige levels to grind out earlier stages with slower resource gain for a little while to undo it. - Upgrades are also quite steep in places, feels like going from 0 to 100 in the click of a button, would feel slightly better to break some of those huge leaps down into progression stages some more. - Could do with auto-run evolving into a simple AI logic loop at some point, instead of just bouncing off walls it'd be nice if it aimed towards the nearest unfinished or uncollected space or item on the map so you can leave it running on those later prestiges without thinking you missed a bunch of stuff when you end a run. None of these really detract from a charming little game though, great work! Looking forward to more from you!

If listening to mellow lo-fi music while running a lo-res wolf(?) through a bunch of grass sounds like a nice time... this is the game for you. Just kind of relaxing. Got about 4-5 hours of fun out of it.

Super cute game, 10/10 would buy again. This game is super fun, and addicting.

Nice, comfortable diversion kind of game, with maybe around 6 hours of gameplay at best. It's all about the skill tree and you're going to have experienced everything there is to experience here pretty quickly and move on. Only disappointment for me was the auto-run feature, which was a major let-down once unlocked, and I then never used it.

give it a try :) honestly it was relaxing and fun. bit of a gritty lil onboarding, thne you can really just chill or 2nd screen with idle mode and have fun with diagonal running :) waiting until i 100% to review, but honestly its a chill little 3 hours play with some nice visuals and neat little skill tree. i think the last 2 achievements arent worth it for anyone besides hunter cheers

Cute and fun, great music. A pretty decent idler after the autorun is unlocked, though expect more skill points or upgrades for the endless mode.

Incremental game with a unique gameplay A little bit lacking in explaining game direction, probably better suited for people who are familiar with incrementals

Fun little micro-incremental game, well worth the few bucks you'll spend on it for a couple of hours of fun gameplay. I wish the developer added the option to remove those seed explosions or make them translucent or slower-paced - the rapid flashes are quite jarring for an otherwise tranquil game.

once i picked this game up, i literally could not stop playing it for 5 hours! it's truly a very satisfying, easy-going game. it is hard to find truly cozy games and this hits the spot. this would be a great game to play while watching a show, studying, etc. * comfy music and sounds * simple and easy to follow * cute skins * mouse only or WASD and mouse options * fun upgrade system * prestige does NOT reset your progress all in all, excited for more updates and games from the developer and give this one a try!

Pleasing aesthetic. Average sounds, poor discoverability in UI, progression ends abruptly. Unclear what actions lead to which resources. Also, can't use the mouse for the UI if you've touched the controller.

Very chill game with interesting mechanics once you realize how you get the resources. Definitely worth an afternoon of poking at and relaxing to the music.

It's like a mix of a classic active incremental game and nowadays trendy "cozy" gaming. Way too simple, upgrades are kind of underwhelming. Yet it is still enjoyable if you know what you are getting into. Don't expect much complexity. It's a "turn off your brain and just chill for a few hours" kind of game Also, I see that many ppl are saying that the game has performance issues, but I personally haven't encountered any and believe they have been patched 👍

Beautiful minimalist incremental, very relaxing as long as you don't mind a few flashes on the screen. I've had a worthy few hours spent on this, and I think there will be more time spent in the future

Beat this in 4 hours. It was inexpensive and fun. I get hooked on incremental games like this, where you upgrade your prowess and get more types of income to buy things in your upgrade tree as the game progresses. But I don't like them taking over my life, like Cookie Clicker did, so this was great. The auto-run upgrade was excellent; I was able to let it run and then do the upgrade part, so I had the fun while my laptop handled the tedium. I got all the achievements pretty easily. I recommend this.
