I like games, dislike CoC, but have seen a CoC-style game that does it right.

It'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 "optimal" setup), but you can'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's a Farmville-style gem mine tmechanic, but unless your traps are perfect, you'll get more from stealing other players' gems.

TL;DR: Clash of Clans is much better when grinding is nerfed.

But what's the name of the game?

King of Thieves. I was waiting for someone to actually show interest, so it wouldn't sound spammy.
