Tap Empire: Auto Tapper Game 4+

Actually Good Idle Game

This is a game that rewards active players and idle players alike. The game doesn’t have that sense of pay to win, more of pay to speed things up or aesthetics. So if you come back to the game every hour or 2, you will find the game progresses smoothly without issue.
The only slight downside if you could call it that, is that the start of each new area is a solid 5-20 minute grind before you “should” let things idle. At least that’s my opinion.
You start each area clicking a station to start generating income every few seconds to minutes. Eventually an upgrade will be available and a robot will be stationed at that spot to endlessly click the station for you, provided the robot has energy. Upgrades require gold and you will passively get it provided you are attentive to energy. Once out of energy simply tapping the station fully restores energy and can be clicked at anytime to restore it. This makes it easy to click before leaving the app to maximize profits for when you return.
All in all this game can be played by anyone, and can entertain the casual players as well as the aggressive ones.

Developer Response ,

Hi AlphaDeathclaw, thanks for the articulate review! Great summary, and it’s great to see how much time you spent to really understand the game before writing. Regarding the slowness at the start of new areas, we actually felt that a bit too, but ultimately decided to leave it because it does a nice job of communicating a little bit of the MeeWow story. It turns out that expanding a business into a new area IS hard, and a little slow sometimes. But if you stick with it for a bit (those 5+ minutes you mentioned), then hopefully, it all works out in the end :)

Unique take and well done

I have played 80% of the idle games in the App Store and this is one of the best. Only a few stay on my phone for more than a few weeks, this one has more than a year. The four to six money generators for each map are familiar, but the way they vary in output, speed and upgrading each time really keeps your interest. They also continue to add content. I typically don’t like time limited idle content, but they implement it in a way that you keep your progression each time you try. Since ALL ads are voluntary, simply zero reason not to try.

Please get rid of the add “Jackpot”

Until you do something about this add locking the game, I can’t give the 5 stars this game deserves. Everything is done right for an idle clicker and it’s fun. I choose the adds and am not forced to watch them. I love that and the rewards can be great. However, when an add forced me to close the game because I can’t get back to the game, this creates huge frustration. Not only have I lost my time, but I lose my reward as well and it takes up a daily add reward. Please fix this and I’ll re-review with 5 stars.
iPhone 8 Plus if that matters.

Update- nothing has been fixed and their are overall to many small issues that bother me over time and ruin the experience. It was enjoyable for a bit, but to many bugs get in the way of fun. I don’t care to list them because nothing will be done. I’m over this game and developer.
