An Idle Planet

This has the absolute bare bones workings of any idle game, but there are some serious flaws that need fixing before it stands on its own well. Flaws: -Time does not tick while the player scrolls in the app. -Time does not tick while the player is not actively in the app. -Automating power scales so quickly that after the first 50 taps, manual tapping is worthless. -The scaling costs of each power type escalate so fast, and the range between different power types mean it is almost always ideal to grab 3-5 of a given type and just wait until you can afford the next type. -One wind turbine costs 1/5 of what it generates in one second, which is just absurd. -The descriptions for upgrades are completely cut-off, and there is no way to expand them to see what you’re actually upgrading. -The game lacks any sort of story, depth, or even strategy. It can be beaten with literal seconds of effort spread over many minutes of doing nothing. -The user interface is just… bad. It feels very “straight from the template” cookie cutter, and is not visually appealing like many other idle games. Strengths: -I like the concept of power types disappearing after a set amount of time. This isn’t a unique concept, but it is underused in the genre. -I like the concept and visuals in the statistics panel.

Game does not idle at all while application is closed. Prices have gotten so high that I can no longer do anything.

I’m not entirely sure what I’m supposed do. Maybe a tutorial would help. Numbers get to high to fast. And it’s not an idle game, as in it does not idle. But it just needs some work, so 4 stars!
