Description
Perceptron is a new incremental game which is based around the idea of building and training a neural network. The concepts behind a neural network have been distilled to their essence in this idle simulation.
Not to say the game is simple. Sure, it starts simple with only nodes, training, and data, but soon balloons into a complex idle game with prestige and upgrades. Not to mention offline support.
Take on the role of a young undergraduate student as you become quite the idle tycoon.
Perceptron is not just another idle clicker. It was designed around the idea of training a neural network and has taken inspiration from many neural network topics. Who knows, you might even end up learning something.

Ratings and Reviews
I don’t know if I already wrote a review
But I’m going to write a second just because. This app… is more than an app. It’s more than an experience. It’s experiential. It’s you-play-around-with-it-and-think-about-how-it-applies-to-your-dreams-and-goals. It’s literally an example of the foundation of how most great ideas start- from tinkering and thinking to compiling and producing. This app is a legend in my book and I’m sure in the books of a lot of other people who have a passion to be someone and do something but don’t quite know how to get started.
Please, if nothing else, just know this- about the app and your well being- the truth will set you free but first you’re going to have propagate it.
Really fun game - game ending bug?
I made it to the level where you get ensemble and could no longer manually gather data. I crashed app, tried ensemble, and then when it reset, I had no network or way to gather data which meant the game was essentially stuck. I used my gamecenter ID and tried to uninstall and reinstall and even with the gamecenter ID, it started me over, so I said enough with the game.
I don’t like it but keep opening it
So that’s 2 stars I guess? I keep coming back to it in case the beginning is just slow. But no. Every time something new unlocks it’s just more excruciatingly slow linear progress.
The worst part about the game is how bad the prestige system feels. In most games, you prestige and then you catch up quickly and then progress. In this game, your prestige multiplier is capped by your current base power… so every time you reset you don’t get boosted back, you go through the same slog until you are forced to prestige. It just feels really bad.
It also feels like a total ripoff of exponential idle. The style is like, identical. Exponential idle at least has some fun decision points and a feeling of actual progress.
