Best idle game

This game has zero ads. That alone should make it the best idler, however it also comes with loads of content. The only downside to this game imo is that theoretically (if you play this game f2p for like 3 years and actually complete most stuff) you’ll never be able to actually 100% because there’s a “card system” and one of the cards you can get is for something called the “founder bomb” which you need to pay like $50 to actually get the bomb. But it’s such a minor gripe, and I’m nowhere close to completing the game regardless, I feel like if I do get to the end I might aswell just pay the $50 lol. Oh, and I guess there is one more thing that some people may find issue with; that being to actually get idle progress you HAVE to have an internet connection, you can just bring your phone on a camping trip and claim your progress every couple of hours, you HAVE to have an internet connection for that for some odd reason, no other idle game has done this that way that I’ve played so I know some people may have a problem with that. Anyways, the games loads of fun, if you enjoy idlers this one is the literal peak; zero ads; if you download I suggest going straight to the wiki for the game cause there’s a good guide for how to progress efficiently, and there’s also a ton of codes you can use to boost your progress early on, or save them for later.

Very addictive

This game is super addictive and I’ve been playing for roughly 6 months and I’m only 30% done with the game. It’s definitely a grind and in my opinion the best idle game on the market. The progress is fairly slow, but the rewards for the grind are well worth it to progress. Currently where I’m at I have to worry about getting my cards guilded, max my stars and their upgrades, grind archeology, and grind the fishing aspect. My only issue is the bug that is in many reviews regarding the 4 square button at the bottom and you having to press it multiple time for it to register, but other than that the game is perfect. The discord for the game is a great community that has helped my countless time when I was unsure on what to do or buy and they have always been very thorough and extremely helpful. I have put so many of my friends on this game and so far everyone has loved and enjoyed playing it. I can’t wait to see what the devs add to the game in the future. If you are new or an existing player I would recommend spending a couple dollars to support the devs and show them that you like the game so they will put more work an add more to the game. If you have read this far remember, the obelisk is the enemy and we need to MINE IT OUT OF EXISTENCE!!!!!!

The best idle game I’ve ever played

No joke, this is the best idle game I’ve played, and I’m no stranger to the genre. There are no ads. You couldn’t even watch one if you wanted to. The purchasable options aren’t necessary but they do help. I’ve made a few purchases but only after playing the game a few months and deciding this is the one I want to spend my free time with. Plus, the dev has definitely earned it. The upgrades and challenges make it so that each prestige plays with a different strategy, adding to the long-term enjoyment of the game. And perhaps most importantly: THIS GAME DOESNT MAKE YOUR PHONE GET HOT!!! You aren’t really punished for going offline when you sleep as far as resource collection multipliers go, though optimized play is only possible while leaving the game running on an open phone. This game has so many calculations it must be making in the background but the phone doesn’t get hot, unlike with so much shovelware out there. I really cannot recommend this game highly enough to fans of idle games. Case in point: I think this is the first review I’ve ever left, after more than 10 years of idle game experience.

Honestly great idle game

Suggestions for devs at the end :) I play idle games on my phone a lot and I would say I’m pretty picky about them. Obelisk miner ticks so many of the boxes! It actually gives the “buy with real money” currency automatically given enough time. You can be completely F2P with no ads! The different tabs with different things to upgrade are pretty easy to understand while still being a challenge. I find myself constantly working towards something. The mini “boss” is an obelisk that just takes time to defeat. The bomb types keep the gameplay interesting and keeps me coming back. It took a day or so to get into it but this is probably the best idle games I’ve ever played! 10/10! I will definitely be keeping track of any future projects from the dev!Little suggestions: Keep a little note somewhere that explains what the different floors mean (rainbow, golden, etc.)The difficulty scale seems to ramp up like crazy just before going to world 2. I don’t mind the grind but having one or two extra things to focus on during that grind would be nice (drone upgrades got way to expensive and stargazing is slow to work at)(prestiging is the only way that I feel like I am making meaningful progress right now) The option to sell unwanted items might also be cool! I have thousands of items that are not useful to me at this point in the game, so selling them to get other things might be interesting!This suggestion might be controversial but allowing to opt in to watch an ad (NOT A POP UP) to receive some reward might help some players who are stuck and are against spending money for the optional packs. Still a 10/10 game! Keep up the great work!
