I recently played through universal Paperclips. It was okay, looking for more to try.

Huh. Today I learned. :D
I’ve tried almost all popular incremental games. Some I might have forgotten, but most are not listed because I lost interest.
Sorry in advance for lack of links, on mobile ATM. If there is interest I can add them.
Note: Most web games work on mobile, but some require an S-Pen or so for hovering upgrade tooltips before buying.
Favorites, beaten (web):
- Matter dimensions (my all time favorite)
- Godtree incremental (quite short)
- Idle Formulas
- Succubox (too much clicking but was similar to universal paperclips)
- Smaller demo games, like summer jam games or from www.incrementaldb.com
Favorites, beaten (Android):
- Upload Simulator (nice pacing)
Still playing (web)
- Incremental Mass Rewritten (active development)
- Antimatter dimensions (inspiration for many others, mobile app missing last layer)
- Fundamental (slow cycle; upgrades -> offline -> warp offline time)
Current Android games:
- Ctrl C (repeat old chapters for multipliers)
- Grimoire
- Myriad + Myriad DE (definite edition is slower, but in development)
- Upload Simulator 2 (don’t like the pacing compared to 1st)
- SPACEPLAN (trying out. nice, apparently new, visuals)
Also occasionally playing steam versions of Increlution or Cookie Clicker, and waiting for Orb of Creation v0.6.0.
I recently beat Antimatter Dimensions after coming back to the Reality update after a long while. There’s a lot of depth, especially in the new additions. I appreciate all the layers and addition of QoL upgrades.
Bitburner was fun as an incremental hacking sim. I haven’t played it for a while, but I find it really unique.
There’s also Orb of Creation which can be a bit grindy but also seems really fun for what it offers. I’ve been playing the demo version at https://marple.itch.io/orb-of-creation
Just want to report that I’ve been hopelessly obsessed with BitBurner since I saw you recommend it over a month ago. Thanks!
