Not a bad game in my experience. A little fast for my tastes, it feels like new mechanics are obsoleted long before I get a chance to get used to them. The progression can be nonsensical to follow at times. Once big complaint that I have is that the "daily solitaire" timer is a joke. It'll say 36 minutes left, I'll leave to play four rounds of checkers, and when I tab back to this app, the timer still says 36 minutes, even after closing and reopening the app. Besides that, it's not bad.

It looks complicated with all the cluttered UX but it's fairly straightforward. There's a lot of IAP but, trust me, they're completely unnecessary. You can watch ads to boost productivity, but those aren't necessary either. It is genuinely well balanced for F2P players. Biggest con: its unfinished. There's nothing to do after dark tubes. Otherwise, I recommend. I look forward to future updates. Edit: Removing one star for lack of updates. It's been a while ...

I've always found the idle/tycoon genre to be really boring but this is a wonderful exception. Regardless of how far you make it, it always feels like you can do more and the progress rate is extremely satisfying. Where as full automation is a goal in other idle games, here it feels like a genuine reward. I do think the progress rate of tubes could use some tweaking though, the start is extremely slow and can be difficult to get through. Otherwise great game, looking forwards to the update

What's new

Notes for this update v0.21.7.1
This is just an API compatibility patch.
I also fixed a long overdue save-corruption bug that occurs when you close the game while it is saving.

Notes for v0.22+ in the future
The game is still in development! Idle Research is getting completely rewritten to completely improve the game in every aspect. I'm very sorry for such a long wait! If you read this and acknowledge, you rock!
