Idle World ! Reviews

by Condor19601

The idea of building your own planet and life on it is a cool concept but I’ve been placing water and land prices for over a week now and still don’t get up enough money to get past that. Kinda lame in my opinion, huge waste of time. Lots of long term play with only a few seconds of adjustment at a time, which would seem fun for the long term game player but when you only get an accumulated time of about 5 minutes per day with minimal progress it gets kind of lame. And the fact you only gain one hour of offline profit is pretty dumb I mean who honestly has time to check this every hour!! Every other idle game has at least two or three hours and this one only allows you an hour!! Like I said, I’ve been working on this for over a week now and haven’t gotten anywhere. Pretty lame. Not saying I’m a fast paced game player but after a week and I still haven’t progressed. It’s getting pretty old. And what’s up with the adds. I understand it’s a free game but dang you spend more time watching adds than playing the game. And then once you watch an add to try and progress faster another add will just invade your screen and you will lose whatever power up you have for watching the previous add.

This seems like it could be a fun game, but the ads are truly out of control. I don’t recommend downloading it—there are too many other options that actually have some gameplay thrown in too.

I don’t think I’ve gone a full minute yet without a 30-second ad popping up. Same problem when I watch an ad for the booster. First it starts the timer early while I’m still watching the ad so when I actually get to use the booster I’ve already lost 20 seconds, then another 20-30 second ad pops up almost immediately. Sometimes a third pops up at the end. Keep in mind this is a 100 second boost. So I have to watch 3 ads and get a 50 second boost if I’m lucky. And even if I opt out of the boost I still have to watch 2 ads in that time anyway. It’s literally more ads than game.

This whole app is designed to make you watch as many ads as possible. Which means either a) the developers are greedy or b) this idea just isn’t good enough to provide a sustainable source of income and they need to change their approach or try something else for work. Either way, it’s nearly unplayable as is and I recommend trying a different game.

This isn't an idle game. An idle game is where you can either spend hours to days away from the game and get proportional value or keep IdleWorld open and get value without doing anything. Sure, if you keep IdleWorld open, you will keep getting energy, but you have to keep upgrading to make it worth the data and phone battery (as expected). The real problem I have concerning this is how long you can stay off before you don't get value: 30 minutes. Just 30. That's ridiculous. After 30 minutes, you will no longer receive extra energy for staying away from the game. And the upgrade to improve this is extremely expensive. It's absurd and there are many other better idle games than this one to invest into. There is literally nothing special about this game. It's about the same as any idle game that calls for upgrades to gain more resources. Other games are also more visually appealing. Also what's with the disaster protection? As if this game wasn't annoying enough with how little energy you get, you have to worry about some disaster that never seems to arrive? Why are we being forced to upgrade atmosphere? What is the point in upgrading things beyond the requirement for the next set of upgrades? This game is just another low quality advertisement-filled garbage game. But I've seen worse and that's why this game is 2 stars.

This game is pretty fun, it’s not the most fun game I’ve played, But fun. There are 2 things that bother me though; The protection tab and Is it actually idle? The protection tab has done nothing to help my planet, and it is so expensive! Which leads up to Is it actually idle? We only get 30 minutes of offline time, so it kind of beats the point of being a idle game. So if you only get 30 minutes to earn money offline, you don’t get a lot of money to buy protection to not screw up your planet. So, it doesn’t make any sense to be honest! I’m not trying to be mean, it’s just that it seems like it wasn’t thought out very well, but I understand, with all of the coding you have to go through and trying to get it done, but this game just needs a bit more work and I feel like fixing these things will help the game be more popular and more fun for people to enjoy! Thank you for your time! 😃

I loved this game at the start played it everyday to progress. Eventually I got to point we all get to just had to let it run and wait to get energy. I completed world 1 almost done with world 2.0 just finished the land was beginning to add everything else on land. To let things run it’s course I let it sit for a few months so I would come back and be able to at least do a good portion of it. When I logged in after my app updated it was loading my game just fine. Then the bio subscription tried to load froze IdleWorld . As a result I had to close IdleWorld and reboot it. After I did this it did not load my saved world. It erased my world then loaded the vip subscription. First I thought it was just loading slow after I closed it it just erased it all. All my work and progress gone at a blink of an eye. This is a upsetting development in this game I think needs to be addressed before it happens to others. Now I must do everything I worked for and watched hours of adds for all over again. This has made me drop my ratings for this game when your added features to the game you did not considered possible glitches or issues those features could create before throwing them in.

Idle games are everywhere and there’s many of them. But a lot of them have a unique thing to them that makes them special and unique. This game has nothing special to it. You buy upgrades, make it to AI, and reset your game for a tiny bonus. If you get a big enough one thru days and weeks of gameplay it is probably easier to progress but as it is, it is slow. The main thing the makes me not want to invest that kind of time is the ads. Random forced ads while upgrading causing you to click on them. Things that fly by ask you to watch for rewards. Ad for x2 bonus which is way too short. Ads for up to 9 free spins. Ads for the upgrades that give bonuses to one resource. Ads to upgrade SUN value. The sun can get you thru the game by itself because it gives so much. Without enough patience you can get it to 1b per tap and earn the restart. But progression seems a bit slow and the game is ad ridden. I’d absolutely love it but it needs more content, less ads, and better bonuses for offline time and x2 energy. Also, fix your grammatical error on prestige.

by Fire Drake360

This game has potential within the content, but the overall mechanics need fine tuning, and something to grab and keep the player, like some I idles they have events, or contracts to fulfill within a limited time. Prestige is broken, without giving really any bonuses to players except for a 10% increase every time even when you continue with the game passed the offer, players need to spend diamonds as well, on other things then time wrap, grab your players attention with permanent upgrades with diamonds, and final Stop Punishing Your Players by Ads! I find that out of how much I play this game, I watch more ads then gameplay, not how games are supposed to work, you need to calm down with them, and give us more game time instead of ad time, you will detour your players quicker with ad pushing then anything else, great concept, but needs a lot of work to get to great

So this game is super addicting! There were problems, I’ll tell you why. This was super fun! I was about to finish the water level BUT an ad came. So you see... For some reason, I thought it was normal. Ads kept coming when I didn’t click on anything ad related. On one ad, I was pressing x to exit out but it froze even though I still heard the music. I had to close the tab and rejoined. Ads would usually come after I upgraded the free energy sun thingy. It would always come and really interrupted my gameplay and made my experience negative. Unlike other Idle games, this "Idle" game had Ads at random moments. I tried to use the premium free 3 day subscription BUT- it didn’t say the free subscription when I tried purchasing it, so I didn’t bother buying it. As soon as I was about to finish Water, guess what showed up? AN AD! So I deleted the game.

Was a wonderful game until world 2.0 came out. Dont get me wrong game is great and you should play it and World 2.0 is a wonderful addition to the game. But keep reading that’s not all.
The thing is, THE LIST OF CONTRIES IN WORLD 2.0. Many countries missing:
Belize Panama Haiti the rest of Caribbean Guyana Suriname Kosovo Taiwan all of Oceania, Brunei Maldives EVERY SINGLE CITY-STATE and I could go on and on, those are not even HALF okay and some of the countries pictures are wrong you know like in the circle the shape of the country but filled with a color yeah Malaysia guinea-Bissau, South Africa Nicaragua, and Sudan are some of those countries. Also some country’s have the wrong flag like Mozambique and a lot others (I’m not the best with flags) BUT BEFORE YOU MAKE A THING LIKE WORLD 2.0, YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR BASIC COUNTRY FACTS also, the ‘facts’ about the countries I have seen they are sometimes repeated or missing the beginning,or with wrong grammar and they are filled with typos! That just proves that you were lazy and just quickly typed up the facts so you could get more ad revenue from people wanting to view to “facts”! World 2.0 is just a lazy quick way to make more money.

Ok so first things first, the game is good. You can upgrade quickly (though admittedly Mars is painfully slow thanks to it only gaining 5% energy upgrades instead of 10% that the other planets get)
You can also prestige rapidly (about 10-20 minutes if you know what to buy) for a slow stacking bonus or wait for a larger bonus (though there seems to be a slight glitch to the bonuses if prestige hits 5 as I’ve prestiged at 5.12 but my bonus in the new game had only been increased from 2.3 to 3.3)

However hilariously there is one issue that is rapidly getting on my nerves. I normally listen to music on my phone, and do so when checking apps. IdleWorld is the only app that I have which hijacks audio. Even when I shut off your app sounds it will still pause my music when opening IdleWorld . If I try and play my music before IdleWorld has fully loaded and told me my energy then IdleWorld will crash and I will lose my offline energy for that planet.
Right now this is just an annoyance, but annoyances have a habit of growing into something that ends in apps getting removed.

This game is fun and I love the premise, but there’s a few bugs that detract from the gameplay. In order to upgrade I need to watch an ad, which is whatever, but the problem there is that the game won’t register that I’ve watched the video so I don’t get the upgrade and can’t buy further upgrades past that. I’ve watched several ads trying to make it work and I’m honestly feeling a little used and cranky.

In order to deal with this I tried the menu for help, but the related buttons are actually useless. The help button sends you to a generic website for the company as a whole and I’m too lazy to figure out how to find the game’s FAQs from there. The support button lets you type out an email, but for some reason the send button is grayed our and unusable. That might be a me problem but there’s no obvious way to fix it.

I enjoy the game overall but this snowballing issue is making me so frustrated I don’t know if I’ll actually want to play it for much longer.

by Legend27Zx

Ok so this game is very entertaining and I love the new world 2.0 thing and it’s so epic!! However there is one thing that I think should be handled.

So the thing of upgrading stuff and being able to set it to like 10x or 25x times is pretty awesome. However the thing is that in the x25 and above there is this delay. And yes I know that in a game like this it will take a little while cause or else it will crash but for me it’s hard to resist against this delay. I also have a moderate ADHD and moderate autism so I’m very impatient when it comes to waiting a stupid amount of time just by clicking upgrade every time. another thing is the “protection” tab. Now when you unlock atmosphere you see under the upgrade tab there is a disaster chance meter. And I’m not sure if disasters really happen to your world and stuff like that. Of course in real life and on earth there were extinction events in earths history ranging from ranging from gamma ray blasts to meteor impacts. And at first I thought that it’s a cool feature adding realism. But here’s the thing the disaster events don’t really happen I mean I could be wrong I guess but there are notifications of IdleWorld saying that your disaster chance is too high. Now either a disaster is gonna Happen or it’s just not letting life to live on earth?

It progresses at a good pace for an idle game. The visual style is fine, and the concept is nice. Some of the quotes that pop up are enlightening or fun.

However there’s a few issues with the game, mostly in regards to ads. One is that the game has built in mechanics which reward you for watching ads, and yet it still causes pop up still ads. These pop ups are infrequent enough to catch the player off guard and feel much more disruptive to gameplay then ads tied to increasing energy or diamonds. Further, a bug exists with ad based rewards. When a small alien goes by and offers 2000 seconds of time travel in exchange for viewing an ad, it automatically adds the total, regardless of if an ad is viewed.

The main other issue is in regards to offline energy gathering. Unlike some other idle games, there is a cap to how long energy can gather when IdleWorld is closed. This time can be increased but this increase does not carry over when prestiging. So that’s somewhat frustrating.

For the most part, I actually really enjoy the game. I have seen other comments about how only being to level up 100x instead of a Max amount is kind of annoying at higher levels and I would agree. I get having some sort of pacing set in so you can't just blow through everything real quick. But in my opinion, this should be achieved with more levels with higher scaling of energy needed, not showing down player input. It feels more janky than a thought out functioning mechanic. All that said, I was just trying to be clear and my reasoning. For the time being, putting up with it isn't all that bad. Everything else, I really enjoy about the game and still enjoy as someone with a 400,000x multiplier.

It’s a great game! I love it, I play it all the time. Somethings are the protection tab is a bit expensive and wastes my energy for other things, in fact some of the things have become kinda expensive really. So could you maybe tone it down a bit? Also I see that you added Mars, are you gonna add all the planets(Pluto and maybe the Sun)? Like it would be awesome if we could make the entire solar system(Sun, planets, asteroid belt, etc)! And like adding things to the solar system(comets and stray things in our solar system). So like u make the things inside of the solar system and also add things to that(If that makes sense). Oh yea one more thing can we have our beautiful Moon please. If you read this thanks bc that means a lot to me!

Honestly, this game is pretty great for it being just an idle type game. I know about the complaints on the protection tab but honestly once you start getting up there you only need to pay a small price for it but I mean it’s your job to protect the planet. I think it’s a great mechanic in the game to make it slightly more challenging. The limit on the max offline production and the time limit before it stops collecting is annoying... like a keep on trying to beat a boss and he keeps killing you annoying but you have to keep playing because it makes the game interesting and even more of a challenge to create your world, and if you put a bit of your energy into max offline production and the time you have before it stops collecting it definitely helps immensely. Overall. This is one of the most if not unique idle games out there. Some minor glitches here and there but I don’t mind them at all. I haven’t maxed out my world yet but I’m already at AI and I’ve played for about less then a week now. I just updated it to Mars and I haven’t checked it out but I hope it’s even better then just earth. Thank you for creating this very unique game. It gives me joy :)

Been playing for 2 days now and it is probably one of the best idle games I’ve ever played. I really like how there is minimal offline earnings.(this is to get you to play the game more rather than other idle games where you log in once a day upgrade your stuff then close IdleWorld after 1 min). There are no ads unless you willing watch them. And honestly, if there where ads. I’d be completely fine with it because this game deserves more attention.

I’m confused as of why everyone is hating on this game so much when you can clearly tell they don’t even know what they are talking about most of the time.

In conclusion... GET THE GAME, it’s awesome!!! oh, and if you have a chance, spend some money on the game to support the devs. 👍 I recommend buying anything because they are all great deals.

by Mango108

This game is super fun to play, as it’s one of the only idle games where you feel like you can get something done even when playing actively. Unfortunately, there are a few flaws with the game that I’d like to see the developers fix. For one, there’s no max function, so it’s really difficult to upgrade at a high level. Second, the prestige system is somewhat broken, as it allows you to prestige instantly. This means that it is more worthwhile to spam prestige at 1.11x or so than to get it up to 3x or similar. This essentially lets you get infinite multipliers, as the prestiges compound. In addition, every time you prestige, you’re able to get near infinite gems, as the missions and even free gems reset with each prestige (which I’m sure is costing the devs some money). In conclusion, this is a really fun game, but its design has a few flaws and loopholes that could be pretty easily fixed.

I love this game so much what they should add is mars though or maybe I’m not at that part yet, anyways I love this game I got it from a friend and from start to where I am right now it’s really fun I suggest you get it and I hope you have fun also in the game they tell you interesting facts about countries and presidents like this one for example “ Did you know that South Africa is called the rainbow nation because it has 11 official languages” see what I mean the game has actual facts and I searched this question up and it was true so this game when they tell facts they don’t lie because otherwise what’s the point. So anyways oh wait did I mention the content this game makes it’s astounding and the graphics and display also, also when you get the game you start on a really crappy world but then after 5-10 minutes your on a world called World 2.0 so yeah that sums it up and well I hope you get this game and when you start you get a ton of free gems and you level up your world pretty fast.

by VWray86

So I love how the game runs currently. I don’t get too many ads aside from when I’m leveling up my tapping, all around it’s a pretty good time sink for me. My only issue is that I only get one prestige point when I prestige, no matter how far I progress on earth or on mars. Was this intended or is it a bug?

As for actual review notes for anyone else reading this. The graphics are amazing, I’ve always thought the little boxes reminded me of stacks of sticky notes and that’s what drew me to the game in the first place. Water gets a little too expensive eventually so you’re missing a few boxes of it unless you grind out the energy. When you’re putting Earth together, it’ll have all of one kind of land or whatever you put on it if you play like I do, but when you reboot the game, it randomizes what’s on the continents so it’s not a boring look (unlike when it had the mountain bug that they fixed). Progression is slow if you don’t level the sun, but I kindof like the speed run mode of using it so I hope they leave that as is or let us improve it more.
