PayPalStarvester has a fun idea - taking elements from clicker / idle and factory sims and expanding them to be across a whole star system. Giving you some sci-fi vibes in a chilled out pixel-art setting, it looks like a nice one to spend a few hours in. And, it won't take forever as the idea behind it is that you can actually get it finished.
The developer mentioned it will have around 5 hours gameplay to finish the main campaign.

I played Starvester's demo when it was first released. It's a fun little idle game. Definitely short, and I'm not sure how much more content will be after what's in the demo, aside from a few extra planets and additional prestige upgrades. I also noticed that the game starts to lag significantly as time progresses due to the sheer number of objects flying around the solar system. Even on a fairly powerful rig, it started to get really sluggish.
I'll still pick this one up, because I feel the dev earned the money for the amount of time I got out of it. Hopefully, the final version will be a bit more optimized, and maybe after a few updates, there will be a bit more than 5 hours of campaign content.
