Earth Inc. Tycoon Idle Miner Reviews

by Perkinberry

This is a fine incremental game, but there is at least one decision that shows me how cynical the developers are and how little respect they have for their players.

In this game you are often tapping the screen, and in the tutorial you are encouraged to use multiple fingers. However, there is a man that occasionally comes and stands right next to where you are tapping. If you accidentally tap him, it is very easy to start an ad by accident. So easy, that I don’t believe it’s an accident. I think the developers are trying to create a situation where you might accidentally start an ad.

Let me be clear. I strongly believe that if I’m having fun playing a free-to-play game, I want to support the developers by watching ads and occasionally buying micro transactions. And there are plenty of good opportunities to do just that in this game. I have chosen to watch dozens of ads in the week or so that I’ve been playing Earth Inc. I’ve also watched several ads by accident, and that’s not okay. I will chose to play a game whose developers have more respect for their players

I tend to play when I am at work just to check in every now and then, so the double coins earned while gone or the 2x coin multiplier are important for steady progress. Anytime I return to the game it states an ad is not available and won’t let me use the coin multiplier. I watched an ad on a different game before and after so it not connection. I would really appreciate some attention to this issue, I will update the score if it is fixed because other than that it is quite fun.

Very much loving this game. It’s very addictive. The only thing I am sad about is not being able to go back to previous galaxies. I moved on to the shroomeda galaxy when it told me I could afford it but I saw there were more planets to do in the Milky Way so I thought I’d be able to go back. Now I’m sad I didn’t get to complete the Milky Way before moving on.

I love the game a lot I’ve been playing for months but I’m getting a little bored the game gets very repetitive, destroy planets, new galaxy, destroy planets, new galaxy. You should add more music so it doesn’t play the same song over and over again and add different boss fights for a certain mine level you reach that would be pretty cool, also some people are complaining that there is an ad every minute, even though there are no forced ads and the only ads are optional if you want some more gold

After around the “oa” coin range, it becomes very difficult to progress further. The costs of upgrades scale up at a faster rate than the damage rate increases in an exponential difficulty curve, whereas other ways to increase income or damage (like Supervisor levels, Galaxy Brains, and Epic upgrades) have diminishing returns and/or become increasingly difficult to gain. It doesn’t matter how much real money you spend. You’ll eventually get stuck because the balancing (exponential difficulty curve compared to sub-exponential permanent bonuses growth) is off, yet there are achievements for mine level 50k (the wall is around 45k, if not slightly before) and two more after that.

The developer(s) should release an update to rescale the late-game progression curve, such as by making each mine level after 40,000 multiply the number of available Galaxy Brains by 1.001 (this would be a good start, but not necessarily a perfect solution). It’s a very common design flaw in mobile incremental games for there to be a soft wall as described above due to the aforementioned mathematical reasons. I’ll still give the game four stars because this is literally the only issue I’ve encountered. Great game otherwise.

You don’t keep your upgrades they start from zero every time and that doesn’t make any sense it makes it really irritating to have to wait until the brain number is higher than your current one so you not loosing your bonus but still have enough to actually buy the upgrades. It’s over complicated. The rest of the game is fun that part of the game is beyond annoying though.

by Billyvonbobjoe

Idk what it is about this game but it’s my go to game when I have a couple minutes. The progression is great and quick and the planet and galaxy system makes me want to keep playing. Cant wait for more updates and more minerals to be added cus I don’t see myself stopping for a long while!

So I downloaded EarthIncTycoonIdleMiner just to see if it was an earth evolution game. I was wrong but I stuck with it and it is such a good game with amazing achievable goals. This isn’t like one of those fake games everything is real and so worth it. Also they don’t show adds every 2 minutes.

10/10 ⭐️

Fantastic idle miner with enough variety to keep thing interesting! I’ve played a lot of idle games and this one is by far the best. Very reminiscent of early Tap Titans before that game became far too complicated.

Customer service is top notch! A purchase failed to credit due to a bug (now fixed). I emailed the support team and received a timely response and everything was able to be worked out.

My only recommendation would be keeping the purchase quantity consistent when you switch planets. Right now, if you are buying “Next” and move to the next planet the quantity defaults back to “1”. Not gamebreaking at all but becomes slightly annoying in late game when speed running the early planets.

This game is probably one of the least time consuming but content filled idle games out there. There’s so much to do but it’s so easy to do it. I haven’t had one ad since I started and I am addicted as well as my brother. Keep coming out with updates and I feel this game could grow.

When I saw this game I thought it would be like cookie clicker or something like that, but no. It has a lot of unique elements to it that separates it from the rest, like how you have to make sure that the earth/other planets have enough heat so you don’t have to mine lice for half the time. I just think it’s a very Unique clicker.

by Bell.Twitch

Title. No pop up adds at all. No bulky tack on gimmicks that every other idle game gives you that makes it impossible to see the screen cause they want to force ads down your throat.

Max there’s like 1 or 2. And they aren’t giant, they’re off to the nice and neat and I don’t have to worry about accidentally clicking one.

Best game I’ve found so far.

by Astronomical_Apple

It’s premise is simple, dig down, hire workers, and make sure you have enough energy keep the fires burning, with such amazing quotes as, “I never lose, either I win or I learn”, “Nothing can stop us unless we choose to be stopped”, and, “I like big butts and I cannot lie”, this game is a must play for any simple tycoon enthusiast.

A few years back, me and my friends(and even my family) all played virtual beggar a ton and competed to see who could max out everything first. It was really fun, and then a few years later, I see this game. I decide it looks interesting and download it. It was fun and I couldn’t stop playing it. But only a few minutes into it I realized it had a lot of similarities to one of my all time favorites: virtual beggar. As I kept playing, I saw more and more similarities until I decide to look at the AppStore to see who made this game. And sure enough, it was the same people who made virtual beggar.

I’ve been playing this game for a while and I’ve got many great things to say about it. It’s super simple and fun, NO REQUIRED ADS. Most of the ads are optional and are just there if you want extra gold. I love how the game captures a similar comedy profile as virtual beggar.

Final thoughts: Great game worth playing and not a waste of time.

I never write reviews, but this one deserved one. This is one of the most enjoyable mobile games i've ever played and I think it does a good job at advocating for global warming and how the world will become if we further push industrialization and push it to other planets. Perfect game with a message.

by Jabali12

It's great, because most games today are riddled with 30 second unskippable ads. The only ads I've seen in this game are optional!

I want to thank the devs- the game itself is a tight example of a idler / clicker game. But this game is probably one of the best examples of how a f2p idle game should utilize ads. They’re not forced down your throat every 30 seconds automatically. In fact they’re not forced on you at all. Instead they’re used for simple power ups or a convenient amount of progress- but even there they feel “fair”. Many f2p games will have inherent progress so slow that you almost have to use the “voluntary” ads to progress. But in this game you can progress just fine without them- they are literally just mild bonuses. You can play comfortably without a single one. I’d give 6 star if I could.

Hello, if you are looking for a fun game but don’t know whether to get a game or not then I want to compliment you for reading reviews. I think you should get this game. It well made and has lots of stuff to do. However, I have a few recommendations for the developers. First, I think you should be able to have different businesses, and, within that, more businesses. The second thing is that you should be able to view your place at a better angle instead of having a small view. To end on a good note, one of my favorite things about this game is that it doesn’t need Wi-Fi.

Thanks for reading! :)

This is a good one! Hits all the buttons to keep you playing. I’ve played too many of these games. Constantly looking for something that would be a successor to Adventure Capitalist. This one has keeping me busy for about 6 weeks and shows no sign of stopping.

One thing I would love the Devs to add. A purchase option for 1, 10, or 100 levels. An option for the next tier would even be better then the current system. Only being able to purchase 1 or max is really frustrating when you are trying to spend money for the most gain.

by Vilector

I have played hundreds of mobile games specifically clickers as they are easy to understand and just a nice time waster. Yet none of them have done what Earth Inc. has done the game is fun and there is constantly something else to do. You don’t get bored super fast on top of that my favorite part is the store is small and not glowing. Trying to get your attention. Along with the fact, you are able to get diamonds without paying for them it’s just amazing. I have to say this game is my favorite and I will be spending money on the game to support the developers.

I love this game. It’s my favorite idle game I’ve ever played and I’ve played a ton of idle games. It’s so fantastic in fact I’ve reached the max level of 13,765 so I can’t wait for future updates to increase the max level. I also love the leaderboards cause it encourages me to try and get to the top 1%. So basically I wrote this review to say great game and PLEASE update to increase the max level! Thanks
