Idle Dyson Swarm

It's a nice game, but I have two gripes: 1. There was an issue I constantly had with auto spending skill points where half the time I couldn't get it to save the skills I have selected and not choose other skills on its own that I didn't want yet. Incredibly annoying, but eventually I 'fixed' it. 2. It's just a lot shorter than most idle games. For some, that may be a bonus, it has a neat story and it's fairly quick, but I didn't really get to see the last upgrades I unlocked be useful at all.

I had to uninstall this game. The reward loop is too good. I love to watch the numbers spin up, higher and faster. I feel the same way when I watch a camp fire, or lie down motionless in front of a forced air heater. I can lose a lot of time to this game. Recently I lost over an hour to this game while sitting in my car. I was late to pick up my kids. It wasn't a crisis, but it made me decide to uninstall the game. Download if you want an engrossing game and don't need HD graphics.

This is a really polished and thought out game! The skill tree is very smart, and the skills are balanced. However, the game just kinda... Ends. Out of nowhere. There are dev options, but they feel like an afterthought and are way too expensive. Other than that, I would highly recommend!

Great incremental game. There are 0 ads, and the offline income is more than generous. If you are a fan of the genre then deff give this a go. You can tell the dev made it out of passion instead of a cash grab. Speaking of cash, there is a very small store, and the only available bonus is pretty small so it's not at all required. I ended up buying it as a thank you to the dev for making a great game.

Pretty good idle game that rewards activity while not forcing it. Took me around 6-7 days to complete from start to finish with semi-active play. End game is nice, and the final rewards are pretty fun to mess around with. I enjoyed the skill tree system and felt it was pretty rewarding to look through. My only gripe with it is that there is no way to see your total boosts from skills, making it hard to compare sometimes. Overall, good short - medium length idle game to pickup and try.

Better than most, but I think the Break the Loop skill is broken. I took it, have 9.2sx bots but can't get my next infinity point until 4.2qi bots... 9.2 sextillion is a lot bigger, but I don't get infinity points so I can't finish the game. Aside from that, it was good. I like the early balancing, right when it starts to get boring a new game mode opens up. This has the best idle time system I've seen. The talents are hard to get perfect, so you can tinker without min-max crimes.

Fantastic offline reward system. Has the option to save presets that doesn't work. If I hit save it's because I would like the the game to save the settings like it's supposed to. The purpose of presets is to save time and I don't feel like figuring out what skills are supposed to be included. What else doesn't work? You think you're doing a quick check on a game but no the game wants you repeatedly adjust skill points. Potentially 5 stars but not worth the wasted time.

Great concept and doesn't have ads, which is great. I enjoy the game. When opening the app, it asks to sign into Google but then won't let me because it hasn't been verified and only developer approved testers can. Then, I don't gain any offline time. If I leave the app running in the background, I do, but if I fully close the app, it asks me to sign in again and don't get time.

An interesting game that I enjoyed playing through. Giving it 2 stars as the game frequently ignores the volume settings. I have the music and button sounds at 0 but frequently the game starts making sounds again which is very annoying. To fix it I have to move the slider up and back down again. This seems to happen when my connecting and disconnecting from Bluetooth headphones while the game is active.

I really loved this game. My only issue was I was close to buying the last upgrades in the quantum tab and got a new phone. When I tried to export and import my save to my new device it crashed everything and the game no longer functions. Like I said I was close to the end and definitely recommend it...it's worth your time, but i had an unfortunate situation at the tail end.

Decent idle game but unfortunately there are several critical bugs that ruin gameplay. I banked 20 hours and ran it all, performing upgrades while it ran... It reset multiple times losing progress but did not grant the purchases and advancement (this has happened several times). Also, I e made several infinity purchases that register as a purchase, but didn't actually grant the reward.

This is easily the best incremental game I've played. It has several layers, each of which basically starts you into a new game (don't get discouraged because your progress seems to slow down, that's just relative to how fast you've gotten the previous layer going!). It also has several features that other incrementals should learn from, like the offline time, skill trees, and story. Amazing game with weeks of content before you reach the end.

Solid idle game. I like how you get to choose when to actually apply the offline time. Haven't seen that before. BUT the point of idle games is to just make number big. So when the number is visually not taking up much space and there's no animation to actually see what you're doing, it feels like I'm just pushing buttons for no reason. Which I guess that's all games. But this game would benefit from making that more rewarding somehow. No ads so far, which is a breath of fresh air.

The in-game wiki has too many line returns, my screen is narrower than the Dev's device, resulting in extra scrolling; automating Planet Production could be easier (9 points to unlock), while everything else is far easier; most recent update was over a month ago; font wasn't resizable nor auto-resized; UI was narrow/small in some spots, but huge in other spots; multiple typos, some are programmatic (\\nn) and others are using the wrong word, would suggest the LanguageTool website to help. 7/10★

I love this game. Smoothest idle game I've ever played. The ability to bank and spend offline time is genius. It changes the entire game. Most idle games encourage short term binging with long periods of "idle", that result in a performance bump. In this game, you can do that if you want, but you can also upgrade your bots/science and then spend a short amount of time instead of the whole length. There's strategy involved. And the progression system doesn't stall at all (unlike many other games)

For an idle game, it is extremely well done. It has a story element, several layers of progression and something I have never seen in any other game. Essentially you can "spend" offline time, which is very useful and means you don't need to be obsessively on the game. More so, I am highly impressed by the fact there are NO adds. It is great. However, you can only play any game like this for so long before it becomes repetitive. And there is a lack of any visuals, saves battery but less engaging

For a text-based game, it looks very nice. No ads is great. The gameplay itself is okay. Story is optional. The strategy aspect is where to assign skill points, when to buy and how much, where to invest science points, and how to allocate between work and science. The latter three can be experimented with, but the skill points are set once you allocate them. No decision making on when to reboot the simulation, you just hit a point in production and it's forced on you.
