Tingus Goose: Weird Idle Game Reviews

Played this for about 10 minutes so far and it’s the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Just gotta try it.

This might be the most schizophrenic game I have ever played. I’m not even sure what I’m looking at, it’s cool though

For a freaky game it’s surprisingly good, glad I preordered this thing honestly. I haven’t even played that long and its that great.

This is the best game I’ve ever played. I shall waste many hours playing this and I’m glad about it.

I just got the game already love it no lag super funny and no glitches love it.

Its weird but also cool and fun probably gonna get bored of it but its still fun

It’s definitely unique! I enjoy it

this game truly has disturbed me

The whole thing just feels kind of disturbing and unpleasant

Horrifying. 10/10

I love this game

Game is W.

YES IT’S FINALLY RELEASED!!I’VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER

BEST GAME EVER MADE🔛🔝🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I forgor

很滑稽

This game gives me tingles.

I liked how out of the ordinary the game was. Unfortunately, it only took about 4 levels before the ridiculous wait times kicked in.
First two levels fly by fast, third drags on a little, but it’s still fun. By the fourth one? You better believe they’re pushing the “buy these jewels to speed things up” agenda.
Really wish developers would wise up. This could have been a fairly fun game, but now it’s already doomed to fail.
Giving a second star simply because the game is definitely not ordinary.

1. I think the art is adorable
2.hilarious concept
3.fun to play
4.JUST GET THE GAME

Just got this today. It is very entertaining, but it would be an understatement to say this game is weird. It is truly the oddest game I’ve ever played. Very addicting. When I started playing this, it made me feel physically ill. /j Spent all day screaming at it with my friends. Overall a great game, would recommend 10/10.

I’ve been following the animated of this game for a while now an I’ve never written a review but this game is such a holy experience that transcends reality through space and time. You NEED to play this. Not up for debate. Know about it. You will NOT regret it.

I have been a player of sweaty chair games for around 2 years now and this is another one of their games I will never uninstall. This is truly the epitome of modern day gaming. Absolutely fabulous, nuff said.

By buggy, I mean that I cannot progress through the first patient because the game doesn’t let me. The “finishes in __” stays gray and is unresponsive.

Good game and charming concept, but this might be a big issue.

This is by far one of the most bizarre games I have ever played. It is a fun little time-waster, yes, but it is also really interesting. I cannot wait to discover all the odd little things in this game.

This is such an oddly addicting game. Such a weird concept that somehow makes it a lot of fun to play. I’m always looking for games that step out of the norm and this game is spot on

I'm looking forward to it very much. I already made an appointment before it went live. This game is indeed as interesting as I expected, very suitable for playing in my leisure time.🥳

This game is a strategy game. The goose is going to grow some side geese that helps collect points. You can move those side geese around to maximize your point collecting strategically. Goal is to collect lots of points and help your patient Goose reach their mating partner. Lol strange game but addicting!

I love the art and idea behind this game but it’s just another predatory add riddled game where half of everything you click is just an advertisement or gem skip. I’m so tired of seeing this type of game and have no tolerance for it anymore. And with a ridiculous asking price of 23$ to remove adds I can’t recommend this to anyone despite the unique idea and art style. STOP MAKING THESE TYPES OF GAMES

I pre-downloaded this game a couple months ago. Boy am I glad I did. Love this game I would give it 10 stars if I could ‼️

When I try to move on to the next patient it won’t work but the idea of the game is fun I just want to play more of it

It makes me feel incredibly awkward. Animation is on point. Babies give me all the moneys. Very good.

Hey dev—there’s a bug where no purchases can be made. Unsure if this impacts everyone. I was willing to get rid of ads but couldn’t complete the transaction.

I just got it and I already am obsessed with it. The graphics are adorable and the UI functions are cool.

I am playing and it won’t let me go past 20m it says to click to “let the patient go” but it won’t do anything, I’ve restarted and everything

I pre-ordered this game because I thought it looked interesting and let me tell you, I do not regret it. This game has endless possibilities and is always throwing different things at you. The art style is cute and weird and the gameplay is amazing.

It’s fantastic, but I have a hard time with the $23 price tag. I’m hopeful that it will eventually go on sale for less, I will probably pay for it if it does. The game is enjoyable, but plagued with a lot of Small complaints: tapping will accidentally select growths unless you lock them, but locking and unlocking the growths is also awkward. Locking is fundamental and deserves a larger button. There are a few situations where things don’t work - Dungeon level is very awkward as many growths can come in at places where they can’t function. Buttons occasionally stop working or overlap with important functions.
I’m probably going to shelve this one, and if I come back to it at some point and it’s priced more reasonably I’ll give it a shot. Without premium, the progression is just very slow.

Good thing nothing happens when you try to buy ANYTHING in this game’s store because I would’ve bought ad free day one and would’ve spent much more time adjusting my tree. Great concept and fun, just takes way too long after the first few patients.

I just wish I could progress past the first patient. I can’t tap the button the finger points at, nor can I submit a bug report in-game.

But the remove ad button doesn’t work and I can’t support the game. Please fix!

Best game I’ve ever played. Can’t complain even a little bit

I’m currently writing a email to my therapist telling her to cancel all my future appointments and medications because my mental illnesses are cured, never have I seen a game so moving. This game is a masterpiece of the soul and I really resonated with the goose as if we were one. I’m moving into my local pond next week to be with the geese. Thank you for making me a new goose *honk*

it’s fun to play because you never know what to expect next! i love its bizarre-ness, but the only thing that’s frustrating me is when i click to buy the no ads, nothing happens or comes up, it must be some sort of glitch in experiencing and because i can’t make the purchase i end up not opening the game and forgetting about it. If that could be fixed i’m sure i would play more!

-Game is great, weirdly awesome and addicting.
-Game is totally amazing when bored
-The design is unique but hilarious at the same time!
-Definitely a game you need to try!!!

The bugs…
———————————————————————————
Starting with my main issue, spending money.
When in the shop you try to buy gems, eggs, or other ad on content, it will just not let you. For example I was trying to buy a premium no ads bundle. I try to click buy, but it does nothing. This is very frustrating.

Another glitch is when you try loading the game. The game may load normally or take what it feels like an eternity to load then just kick you out. Absolutely annoying.

Overall this game is a must try and is just amazingly weird. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS GAME‼️

most mobile idle games are just uninspired and repetitive but this one has an interesting art style and keeps things interesting by letting you customize different ways the babies can fall down to maximize your income. And it doesn’t make you wait a super long time to make any progress.

It started off good, and it’s unique concept is quite captivatingz however, it takes days to complete a patient after 4-5 patients. However, I somehow found a bug that was activated by the bicep carrier getting stuck when I moved behind 2 below it. The bicep carrier thought it touch the ground, causing it to travel and hold a Tingus. Your money earnings rate will increase linearly then

I think this may be one of the first times that I wanted to support an app and purchase things with real money and the game didn’t allow me to do so.
Well, guess I’ll keep playing this charming and addictive game without actually being able to support the developer.

So this is a very very fun idle game. My favorite thing about it is ads aren't interrupting my game play but are there which makes them okay and even considering supporting with the 22 removal simply because it doesn't feel forced on me. It's bizarre and nothing like the norm so I'm here for it. Make more games!

Love the game, but I wish I could actually pay to remove the ads. The button to pay is there, but it doesn’t do anything when tapped. Same with any other IAPs. What’s up with that?

Had been waiting for months for this game to come out as it had on preorder for a while, the game starts out really nice and quirky, with cool and unique game mechanics as well as REALLY great art and design. By the second level I had figured I would be in for the long haul and would support the devs by buying some things in the shop, which did not work. Figured I would continue playing the game just fine without the purchases, but progressed stalled to a STEEP halt at around 4-5 rebirths. I get that it’s an idle game, and things are meant to take time but 1-3 took no time at all compared to 4 and 5. 4-5 you basically come on once a day to grow 0.5-0.8. Legendaries are also not as powerful as they may appear, as you can’t move a lot of them up and down on the tree where as the commons you can. So you either move it as a common and reroll and pray, or you just give up entirely. Rebirth 9 is way too far away for it to be useful.

This is a psychological horror game and I don’t care what others say every time I open this game I get jump scared and every time I grow the goose I’m terrified of what will happen next.

This Gabe isn’t perfect no game is after a while it gets really hard to grow because of how expensive it is and how slow you make money and there’s some tiny glitches but other than that this is one of the scariest games I’ve ever played but nothing will beat 4d chess with multiverse time travel

The game is really fun and moves at a pretty steady pace, until you hit about patient six. At this point, progress all but grinds to a halt if you don’t watch the ads or pay for anything premium, which I personally don’t so I’ve been on this level for the last week and a half. I really want to continue playing but nothing is changing, interesting, or new when you’re checking on the same level to maybe move your goose ever so slightly closer to the finish line

Really fantastically original game! I love it so much i wanted to support it by purchasing a diamond pack, but the game wont register my click on the pack. It registers when clicking on any pack, except the ones that cost real money. As soon as the devs address this, id love to show my support

I love this crazy weird game 😂 it brings me joy. My only complaint is that it’s not letting me buy anything from the store. I try to buy gems or the no adds, but when I tap them nothing happens! I want to give you my money but you won’t let me 🥲

I was sort of expecting a game that gets all it’s downloads purely by milking the shock factor as much as possible, but this turned out to be false. Shock factor aside, it is a good game with good design, UI/UX, and the whole 9 yards! 5/5, nicely done.

I started up the game and started playing and I can’t stop laughing it’s a funny and very interesting game I have sent it to a couple of ppl to play it because it made me laugh 😂

In late summer, my girlfriend of 11 years cheated one me. I fell into a suicidal depression. But one day, I went through TingusGoose Store and saw this beautiful game, it cured my depression, and now, I am in love with tingus goose. Thank you master tingus for saving my life!!!!

After the most recent update, it is currently 11/27. There’s more content added and more buffs. I just hit patient nine and because I’m impatient I put a little bit of money into the game and bought the 27 times m I still have my premium but my 27 times is now gone and I can no longer re-purchase it and I didn’t think I had to yesterday I had my multiplier no I do not I still really like the game. Good concept you don’t need to spend money. Some of us just like that.

I bought the ad-free upgrade because I liked the game and wanted to support the developer. Then the developer gutted the functionality of this upgrade and added more upgrade tiers and locked previously free features behind additional ads/another paywall. Really disappointed in the developer, as they truly had an awesome idea but I cannot continue to support them with these changes.

As an idle game it’s not that bad, it’s fun for a while to figure out how best to place all the bits to get the babies to combine and to get the most profitable outcome. The crazy surrealism is definitely one of the strong points and the mechanics work well. But the levels take exponentially longer to finish the closer you get to the goal, and each app update slows down your progress even more because you now have to pay or watch ads for things you used to be able to do for free in the previous version (even idle progress now has a time cap). It feels less and less like a game and more just like a vehicle for ads and microtransactions. Way too greedy. Uninstalled.

This used to be such a fun and interesting game! Now that there is a new team behind the game the direction has switched from an enjoyable time wasting game to a money hungry passionless greed game. The two hour time cap after being idle has completely ruined the game. Some births would take a few days now all progress is utterly slow, painful and worse of all unrewarding. The worms used to recharge every hour now you have to watch an ad or wait an exorbitant amount of time. The only saving grace for this game is the art and animations but now that the game has asked for a small loan of a millions dollars there is little reason to “persevere” through its slow progress. Please find it in your heart to make a game that doesn’t heavily rely on micro transactions to have fun.

I was absolutely obsessed with this game a week ago. I was sharing it with my friends, playing it all day and loving every second of it. Then the update throttled passive collection out of TingusGoose and asks you to pay for so many things. It completely halted the progress I was making and has made the game unplayable which is really unfortunate for something that was so fun for me just a couple of days ago. I would be open to paying a few bucks to turn passive collection on or other features independently but there is no option for that, its $10 for the full thing or nothing at all. Really disappointing.

This game has become beyond unplayable thanks to changes in their business model. You have to check in every two hours for your idle time to count unless you want to pay ~$15?! I’m not opposed to monetization; plenty of free games have annoying ads, but this is ridiculous. I liked the game but after the first couple of levels it slows down Heavily to coerce you to pay for in-game currency to buy perks and upgrades. If you plan on buying the unlocked game, sure, but free to play? Delete after level 5. You’ll have gotten the gist and all the fun gameplay you’re going to get out it.

This game was a BLAST when I first got it, but there was an update recently that killed the game. I’m not sure why the developers thought any of it was a good idea. It was a fun game to idle and now it’s only TWO HOURS of idle collection, you need to pay for everything and anything you want. I have been stuck on patient 6 for a week now because of this update and I will be getting rid of the game assuming the developers don’t care at all to fix their game. There’s no point of having an idle game if you don’t even get rewards for idling. FIX YOUR GAME.

I was having a lot of fun with this game, but the latest update has had ads be more of an inevitability than previously. Even having food hourly is now once a day, any other feeding is an ad. Also, nerfing the idle gain from infinite to 2 hours and having to pay for 12 hours was the final straw for me. I was willing to get ad-free but after seeing how predatory the game has become when it comes to ads, I’m done.

It was a slow idle game but I enjoyed the progression and how silly it was but the recent update absolutely killed it. Micro transactions and ads required to do simple tasks and gain resources. At first there was just a simple skip ads micro transaction for a small price to offer support now it’s become mandatory to buy it as well as other layers of paid bonuses because it has become unplayable without them.

I downloaded this because it looked silly and fun, and because my nickname for my girlfriend is “goose” so I thought she might get a kick out of it. Day after I downloaded it we were in the ER because she broke both her feet and was on a bunch of pain meds when I showed it to her, which heightened her experience of this game even more. She has since also downloaded it and it is our weird little chaotic competitive thing we do together, which has been nice since she wasn’t able to work while both her feet healed. Our roommates have just given up asking what we are talking about when we yell into the void about how our babies got snatched by bees or crawling eggs with spider legs, and just go “goose?” as if they don’t already know. This game gives off the feeling that the devs were high on *something* when conceiving of every little aspect of this, and I mean that as a compliment. If you want a game that is absolutely bonkers off the wall crazy, while also being something that you can play in small spurts, this is your game.

The moment I heard that this game existed, I was excited because I’d heard the dev team consisted of sweaty chair (They made another game I like) and Master Tingus (If you know you know). In terms of art and gameplay, this game delivered in all aspects, and I know for a fact that the developers have been working to buff out some of the more grindy sections of the game which is great! That said though, just like almost every other game on the market, there are ads everywhere. No Pop-up ads is a nice touch, but if you ever want to get far enough to ascend, or go anywhere beyond that, you can bet that you’ll be spending an astonishing amount of your time viewing advert after advert. Maybe it’s to claim a reward for a quest, or maybe it’s to buff production for 20 minutes. Regardless, ads are almost certainly a requirement. I won’t lie though, I’ve watched all these ads knowing exactly what I’m doing, because I love the developers of this game and am happy to support them in any way I can, but even still, it might bode them well to dumb down the reliance on ads even if only just a little. All in all though, I enjoy this game, even if I’ve spent at this point well over an hour’s worth of ad watching because of it.

I’ll start this review saying that I spent money on this game and do not regret it. I really, really want to give this game 5 stars, but there are enough irritations that I can’t (edit: I decided to give it 5. It’s perfect, but this team did a really great job and I want more apps like this to be made).

First the good: The artwork and writing are great. It’s kookie and fun. The game element is also fairly original in the mobile market and has some very satisfying aspects. It’s also like $10 to get rid of ads forever.

The bad: This drains my battery. It’s entirely possible it’s my somewhat dated phone (11 pro) but my hunch is that the rendering of everything is just very processor intensive. Without giving too much away, one part of the game is replaying old levels. This is a pretty standard gimmick in these types of games, but every time you do it, there are, essentially, unskipable cutscenes. You can speed up the game, but that just means the cutscenes play at 2x (or whatever) speed. I would really like it to be able to skip the very beginning and the very end of each level. There are also two levels that are just a chore to complete. They are both interesting, to a certain degree, the first time around, but they are just a slog on subsequent playthroughs.

Overall, you should totally download this game, and I hope the dev team continues to make some small improvements.

I loved how goofy it was, all the weird stuff made me laugh, genuinely.

The concept of the game seems actually quite interesting, and well-thought of. Helping patient's ducks (I suppose it’s theirs), reach their mate, while also making money, is very creative. I also loved how there wasn’t ads everywhere. Not a single one.
Unless you wanted something, there wasn’t ads, you could just peacefully play the game, unlike other games.

Now onto the actual game play.
It was well-coded, not finding any bugs, or any glitches (yet). Which I’m super surprised, given most beta games have extremely bad bugs that they never fix. I found this game to have quality control, and no issues or problems whatsoever while playing the game. I do however, find it somewhat frustrating that you have to wait so long to get to a bigger height, or have a new blossom hatch, without watching ads. That’s okay though.
I hope you found this somewhat useful or helpful.

If you are reading this, dear, MasterTingus, I watch your videos all the time, and pre-ordered TingusGoose once I found it. I enjoyed it a lot, and hope that it grows, and improves.
If you, one who thinks you should give this game a try, please do, you won’t regret it.

Have fun playing!! <3

This game is such a gem. So strange and creative. It’s an idle game in some ways, but it’s always a puzzle to figure out how to move things around effectively, which adds a good element of challenge to it, and it has to be changed around depending on how tall the goose gets. I’ve gotten pretty much everyone I know to start playing it, it’s very entertaining.

One bug I’ve been noticing is that the test tubes haven’t been holding more than one Tingus after they get past the first form, which has been frustrating. I also wish there was a little more explanation about how to play the game and what the different blossoms(?) do, because what it does tell you is pretty vague. Overall, I definitely recommend giving it a go.

I found the art very intriguing. The animations are smooth and beautifully strange. On the other hand, the gameplay is just okay. I log in for five minutes and leave. There is very little you can do once you hit level 6 ish. Unlike other idle games, it does not feel worth it to actively play the game.

You make more money just stopping in occasionally for two minutes to cook the eggs or hatch any blossoms. But that doesn’t really make a satisfactory amount of money. That would be okay if there was an in game way to make more money, but there aren’t any effective ways besides ads. Even those are underwhelming.

The best part about gameplay is strategizing how to make better Tinguses, the babies that make money, but very little to do other than that. I recommend it for the art, but I wouldn’t recommend spending a lot of time on it in game.

I I don’t normally write reviews, but this game is too good to not have one.i really enjoy this game though it is weird . I’ve only had this game for a few days but this game is one of the only games I play on a daily basis it’s fun and entertaining and even has weird features like the cut scenes. But there is no ads, which is something that I really love there is ads when you want something but they don’t just randomly appear. I highly recommend this game.

First off, wanted to say this is the first idle game where I’m genuinely impressed by the creativity. It’s an absolute blast to play, and progression is actually VERY doable without paying. The negative reviews seem to be from players used to the old mechanic, because I haven’t ran into any progress issues. Any complications with progress have just forced me to re-strategize, which has been fun in itself.

However, there is a bug that prevent my setups to work. When a tingus has been grabbed by either Beakception, it cannot be eliminated by lasers or the Eggs Terminator. This is extremely frustrating, as it messes with my cycles down the tree. Please, please fix this and I will change my review to the 5 stars that the game deserves.

Otherwise, great game!!

Something about this game is different from the rest, and I’m honored to be playing it. This game has without a doubt one of the most powerful stories, with compelling detail added to each section. After being done with the first patient, I feel as if something awoke inside of me, and I changed as a person. It’s now hard to see what my life would be like in lack of Tingus Goose.

The adventures that I went through this game were immersive, grand, and moving. I want to thank each and every one of the developers, contributors, and anybody that might have added the smallest part into this experience. Thank you.

(-1 star, there’s ads)

The art direction and weirdness is the highlight of the game for sure. But after about Level 5 you’re gonna be waiting days for advancement.

The line I’m seeing the developers respond with is ‘All the core functions are free, and you can play without spending money. Purchasing additional resources and items is voluntary, and you don’t have to do so.’

Which is true! But the systems start to cost exponentially more and progress will grind to a halt unless you’re very stingy yourself with your diamonds and like watching minute long ads for 20 minute boosts of speed. It’s a shame because there is some great creativity here but the systems need to be tweaked for the frugal to stay playing.

Great game with quick and fun progress right until patient 6 and beyond. All previous patients can be done in far less than a day. Then the game turns into “Watch as many ads as possible or pay” otherwise you’ll be stuck for multiple days making barely any progress each time. The whole game just turns aggressively into a freemium, pay-to-proceed, trudge with legendaries and mythicals not so much as making a dent on your progress. Play the first 5 patients then bounce. Unless you want to watch four 30 second ads to increase the game speed for 20 minutes (which also barely helps at that point). I tried liking this game

Once you get hang of the game, you'll get sucked in by the extreme weirdness of the whole premise along with the fun gameplay of placing blossoms in the right place and seeing what happens and how how you can get your profits.

As you progress past the first couple levels they add more options and other stuff to the level itself, like wind effects that blow the babies in a certain direction, and things like floors and even meteors.

The only problem I have, and the reason why I'm only giving 3 stars, is the ads. I hate ads but if they're at least well integrated in the game I'll deal with them if I like the game enough.

The surprise here is the ads aren't actually a problem in general, it's that they crash the game over and over and you have to force close TingusGoose , they freeze and restart a lot, they don't always return the reward/buff, and they're all way, way too long, some are over a minute due to the waiting.

The original game release was a decently balanced idle game. Happily paid to remove ads and support the developers.

The latest update has made the gameplay experience miserable. Monetization creep has shown up, and now your goose only produces money for two hours while idle unless you pay even more money. It completely defeats the purpose of an incremental game if it's refusing to continue while I go about my day.

And it begs the question: What's next? Pay to remove ads. Now pay to let your game work in the background. A month from now, what will they neuter in the gameplay loop to force out more money? I'll pass.

I’m personally not a big fan of idle games anymore but this one truly shines among the rest. The designs as well as the gameplay are both creative and fun creating a good combination for a perfect way to pass some time. My one complaint is that the majority of the times that I have watched an advertisement to try to receive one of the rewards many of the ads were unable to be closed. This forced me to have to restart TingusGoose completely and voided all of the rewards I could have received.

I downloaded this game as a joke because I thought it looked weird and goofy, I was fully expecting it to be bad, well not bad. But just kinda mid I guess. Nah. This game is amazing, addictive, fun, unique, its everything. I love it and it’s weirdness. I downloaded it and after only a day of playing I managed to get a large handful of my friends hooked as well. It’s by far my favorite game on my phone. I love it.

Why does the game stop at 200m? Can we just have the game be actually infinite and go past 200? I’d really like this game to be 100% infinite and not stop at 200m - like just have it increase by 5 every level after 20 or so - please.

Also something happened over the last 48 hours because myself and other players have noted that the goose will no longer grow. I’m on level 152 and would love to see this fixed.

I also sent you an email with the error photo.
