AdVenture Capitalist - The Idle Game that Makes You Feel Like a Million Bucks(isn't that much)

So, you want to be a millionaire, but you just don't have the time to worry about all those investments?  You like to watch profits soar from just a few clicks of your mouse?  Then get ready for the greatest investment game ever!  AdVenture Capitalist.

Okay, but more seriously, AdVenture Capitalist is a standard idle game were you get hooked in by rapidly clicking things for the first half hour, then when your arm is about ready to fall off, the game switches to a self-maintaining visual of numbers going up and lines moving across the screen.  Unless you like monotony, I wouldn't recommend it.  It gets old quick.  The one feature that sets it apart from other idle games so far is that it really has four games in one.  You start on Earth, when you make enough money, you can start a countdown timer for development to reach the Moon and Mars, then you can conquer those two planets with capitalism as well.  The fourth game is when Hyper Hippo holds events, (terrible alliteration, I know), which if the comments on the Steam forum hold true, are getting more and more difficult to accomplish without shelling out some cash.

Over all, the game is entertaining for a short while, addictive for longer than that, and then a waste of your time if you get into it seriously.  Thankfully, its free-to-play on Steam, so you aren't out any serious money if you're smart.  It really was summed up best by its own developers, who post on the Steam description, "AdVenture Capitalist - the game you play while playing other, better games!"
