Loot Finch / Pick one
Pick one of the six by how you want to play
3 answers narrow the list to the closest game and a runner-up. The matching uses facts from the game pages: whether an ending exists, whether the game says it earns while you are away, and how much clicking the opening minutes ask for.

How the picker scores the 6 games
Each game carries 3 marks. The attention mark is our estimate (est.), based on what the first minutes asked of us and not on timed play. Idle Breakout and Leek Factory Tycoon are marked low: after a first ball at $25, or 2 or 3 minutes of tapping, they run alone. Kiwi Clicker and Idle Mining Empire sit in the middle, since both begin with steady clicking and then automate. Capybara Clicker and A Dark Room are marked high: one pays double for clicking without pauses, the other brings its stoke fire button back every 10 seconds.
The ending mark is yes for A Dark Room alone. The other 5 offer resets or state no end.
The time-away mark is yes for Leek Factory Tycoon and Idle Mining Empire, because the description of one and the foreman of the other say so. Neither claim was tested.
A match is 2 points for each of the last 2 answers and a penalty of 2 for each step of difference in attention. Ties go to the game higher on the list. Nobody at Loot Finch has timed a full run of any of the 6.
