About
Leave the window somewhere on your desktop and watch as an android named Lyse continues with her research in a post-apocalyptic world. Her job is to collect microbe samples; your job is to lend a hand when you can. If you're looking for a simple game you can keep running on the corner of your screen which you can play with whenever you're free, this is the game for you.
・Click on microbes to help collect them
※ Lending a hand will help increase research levels faster
・Update laboratory facilities using coins
・Salvage for junk by clicking on Lyse
※ You can "fish" for just using a magnet
・Look through your collection of microbes and junk in your Archive

・Leave the game in a corner of your desktop and play whenever you like
・Retro inspired pixel art and occasional chiptune music
・The variety of microbes you can find will increase as research levels rise
・Salvaged junk will be converted to coins automatically
・Your facilities are simple; just a salvage magnet, Bait dispenser and a tank to collect microbes
※ Your lab equipment can be automated from the beginning
・Lyse may be hiding a secret……

Once your research levels reach 10, you are able to unlock Skins.
Change Lyse's appearance to your favorite Skin and continue with the research.

・This game doesn't have an objective
・There are no fancy functions such as a ToDo list or a Pomodoro timer
・There is no large-scale, dramatic storyline to follow
・Lyse's diary entries will tell you a little more about the world she is in

・Once your archives are full, there will be a small ending
・Enjoy the game at your leisure
・Have fun in the post-apocalyptic world
・You might find easter eggs from other worlds created by Skipmore, such as “Kamiko” and “Transiruby.”

不得不说本作作为一个挂机游戏来说相当简略,基本系统就是自动丢饲料吸引水蚤进行收集以升级研究等级,和自动钓废品获得金币,而研究等级影响水蚤上限和刷新的水蚤以及废品的等级。养成部分就钓竿、饵食、自动捕捉各自的升级,手动干预部分基本上只有用鼠标划拉划拉游出来的水蚤,以及当一下钓鱼的赛博监工。与之相衬的,升级项的加点也就是简单的每级几点数值的效率提升,所以本作在挂机的游戏性方面就是很单纯的很平淡的挂机。 本作从选题上其实深得我心,末日,少女,水蚤,几个词往那儿一放就忍不住凯的欲望,但对于这几个意象的实现只能说差强人意。末日表现在钓废品,少女就是在钓废品,水蚤更多的像是一个细化研究等级的收集进度。几个部分貌合神离,剧情说实话也过于寡淡,到头来更多的还是回归到了挂机游戏这样一个赛博盆栽的作用。而作为一个盆栽这个游戏倒是到位,精美的像素画面,各式水蚤、废品,还有随时间变换的四季背景,但要挂到70级这个最终剧情节点之后(个人挂了60多个钟,多多手动收集水蚤能提不少速度),变化还是过少了,虽有个终盘小内容来消耗部分多余的金币,但本质上还是没啥大变化。 此外,虽说是修复了崩溃问题,现今版本相较于之前也算是稳定不少,但还是有些许不稳定状况,置顶功能也会时不时消失。游戏自带的音量调节也过于神秘,调节之后主页面和菜单页面声音各跑各的。总的来说,虽然能爽挂机上几十个小时,但就现在这个价格以及本作的深度,要入手也推荐打折时候再入手。 评:水熊虫/10
【定价相对于同类型的挂机游戏显得有些高】 【注意ESC键,会暂停游戏白白浪费挂机的时间】 除了价格偏贵一些,其它方面没啥毛病,是一款比较具备特色的轻松休闲挂机游戏。主要内容就是挂机收集各类浮游生物,升级和解锁各类图鉴。基调悠闲,操作和画面UI等交互上都做得很舒服,风格比较独特,有点蒸汽波的味道,在挂机游戏里算是比较独特的。
実績「レアなガラクタを35種類回収する」を取りたいのですが所持金が90万を超えるとリースちゃんが釣りをしてくれなくなり、困っています メンテナンスや餌の購入で幾らか使うことはできますがもっとドカドカとお金を注ぎ込める先を作るか、もしくは所持金の限度額(?)を引き上げてもらえるとありがたいかなーと思います! そこ以外はとっても楽しく遊べました!すべてを語らずフレーバーテキストで匂わせてくる演出もかなり好み おすすめです
Cleared all the achievements available on Steam in a little under 200 hours, which gets me just over level 100 in-game. If you're crazy, you can get this up to level 999 by putting it on a computer that isn't going to do anything but compute that for the next...however many months? Maybe years? As for why you'd do something like that, as many have already stated, it's a fun idler. A good portion of the draw is if you've played other franchises from Skipmore in the past but it's not a hard requirement. Just a few interesting references here and there and a small story to go along with it. Very little else keeping you aside from number go up and watching Lyse fish with her oversized magnet on occasion. For an idler, it does that job well. If nothing else, it qualifies as a desktop toy for the office, which I more or less used for myself, especially since I took the time to send bugfix data to the devs on a somewhat rocky start of the release, all of which has been cleared by now, so they get points for tackling that as fast and efficient as they did. That might have been part of the fun of all of this personally, for me, so I doubt this will apply to you playing that but I do have to point out that they took the time to do that and it wasn't just a situation of release a game in whatever state and bail - They did, in fact, take time on this and respond to people and that's probably of the reason I'm going to recommend it regardless of how small or large the game is because I appreciate that and I think that should be brought up as often as possible.
終末後世界で微生物とガラクタを採集するのを眺めるゲーム。 目的が無い放置ゲーを謳っていますが、実際、触って楽しめる要素は無いし、特に画面映えする要素も無いし、雰囲気ゲーという感じでもないです。眺めるだけ。 微生物を回収するとレベルが上がって、たまに終末日記を読めるくらいの内容です。 見て楽しめるランダムイベントとかあればよかったんですけど、そういうのも無いので、個人的にはお勧めできるものではなかったです。 そもそも、この子に託されたミッションは微生物の採集のはず。 なのに釣りしかしてないのはなんでなんですかね。 初期バージョンではクラッシュが頻発していましたが、バージョンが上がってからは改善しています。

ゲームとしての面白さは乏しく、 施設も最大までレベルアップしても大きな変化は見られないため、 成長要素もあまり感じられません。 ミジンコは多数登場しますが、詳細な説明がないため、 馴染みのない方にとっては正体のわからない生き物を集めているような印象になります。 イメージとしてはゲームというより、 金魚などを飼育する水槽を眺める感覚に近いです。 他のゲームの合間に、軽く様子を見る程度の位置づけの作品だと感じました。
It's good to finally play another Skipmore game after so long and this one's quite unique being an idle game which is also my first time playing one of these types of games! I must admit this game feels more like a toy rather than an actual game, which might just be how all idle games are like but I did make me rethink how I play this game as it's quite a slow burn. Main things I liked about this game were: - As usual Skipmore's got his signature visuals, going back to a Fairune style, it's simple yet charming - The story is surprisingly dark for a Skipmore game and also sets up some interesting questions on how this affects the lore and world building for this game and other Skipmore games (mainly if this game is related to Transiruby or not) you also get some cool characterisation of Lyse - I really like all the nods and references to Skipmore's other games, some post-game ones really left me in shock too! What I didn't like: - I wished the automatic microbe collector could be upgraded to be more useful, as in capture more than one microbe every cycle - This might be a me thing but I keep getting distracted by the game and focusing on it more than doing other stuff especially since the game does require you to pay attention to it from time to time - Getting all the achievements can be a slog especially if you want to fully upgrade all your gear for the achievements and rare junk which might be just how idle games like this are but I am unsure. Overall though I did enjoy my time with Post Apocalypse Microbe Lab, it's a neat distraction if you want something to grind at whilst doing other things and I would recommend it if you like idle games or are a Skipmore crackhead (like me)
全実績解除まで遊ばせて頂きました ゲーム性重視の放置系というよりは雰囲気重視のデスクトップアクセサリの要素が強かった その割には関与しないとレベルがなかなか上がらなかったけど。。。 後半はもう少しリースちゃんやラボをカスタマイズできるような収集要素や強化要素があると良ったかも?
A cute little idle window where your little scientist cleans the water and researches microbes. Its refreshing to just watch occasionally while you are busy doing stuff on the pc, id say almost akin to having those little "water dragon" shrimp tanks as a child. The colours are relaxing, the scientist is cute and somewhat customisable, the microbes vary is shape and colour (I like the one that looks like a pizza slice). You slowly upgrade your tools easily, all steam achievements are easy enough to get over time, and the story/lore is interesting and you get snippets of the world as you level up. 10/10 idle window.
