I like games, dislike CoC, but have seen a CoC-style game that does it right.<p>It&#x27;s a 2D sidescrolling platform game, with one-button controls; this keeps skill involved. Traps consist of a three-trap set; you can upgrade them for damage (and buy a dev-made &quot;optimal&quot; setup), but you can&#x27;t grind for 50000 level 1 walls (or level 99 walls, for that matter). Scoring is separate from currency; the gemswhich contribute to your score can be sold for game currency, but never bought. There&#x27;s a Farmville-style gem mine tmechanic, but unless your traps are perfect, you&#x27;ll get more from stealing other players&#x27; gems.<p>TL;DR: Clash of Clans is much better when grinding is nerfed.
