Idle spiral has always been a great game. I played it on steam around the time it first came out and have since switched to mobile where I’ve only been playing for about a month. I’ve noticed that after this recent update that my battles no longer progress offline. I love this game but it can be frustrating.

Thank you for fix daily bonus and for such great game I only been play maybe less than month but very much enjoy.Please fix offline gains. I not want to leave game running many hours just to pass enemy difficulty level. I have challenge now 350 difficulty for beta and I had to make game run many many hours and only at 300. No offline gains anymore please fix. Other offline games not working also. Like achievements another I not want to leave running many hours for. It was working until after the daily bonus fixed, then offline progress broke

It seems the developers have completely eliminated the “idle” part of idle spiral. My spiral does not grow at all when I am not in the app. This is a core part of the game, how do the developers expect me to keep my phone open to this app and only this app for all hours of the day? At first I thought this was a bug- but reading the notes on the update, it seems to be intentional. Why on earth would the developers do this? It seems they have replaced it with a “memory of formula” system that boosts the spiral’s growth, and is powered by offline time. But this still would require me to be on the app for an absurd amount of time. This latest development is an insult to players’ time and a naked attempt to increase engagement time and artificially increase retention statistics. It is shameful and should be reversed immediately.

If you like big, big numbers and prestige-ing to make them bigger and faster this is a game you will enjoy. Also you can make some pretty cool patterns depending on the way you upgrade. That in itself is pretty cool to mess around with. All ads seem to be optional and the away idle time rewards are very generous. It is slightly confusing at first but if you’re a numbers nerd you’ll figure it out. Lastly, there is a discord but I haven’t had a chance to take a look yet. Enjoy.
