Idle Planet Miner

I like idle games and this one really punches the ticket. No forced ads that I've seen and it's time consuming in a good way Edit: changed from 5 star to a 3 star due to deceptive advertising. The Daughtership was half off for a number of days, so I tried to buy it, but it was still full price in the play store. I inquired about it and I ended up paying full price after the sale was over, which was irritating. I sent video proof of the price bait and switch but never heard back from anyone.

I was a little skeptical at first with this game, but after 2 weeks, I can safely say it has been a joy to play it. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for an app that is simple yet complex to pass the time with. To the developers, a recommendation I have is to maybe randomize the background image and perhaps the appearance of the planets and their names each time you sell your galaxy. You would have to design new planets yes, but it would help break the monotony of seeing the same planets.

Played a few days so far; positive first impression re: UX and UI. Creators knew what they were doing (a compliment :). Ads are optional (non-intrusive) and fairly useful (not undervalued, but not so rewarding you feel like you have to view them). Wonderful art and chill music styles, and the mechanics & math of the game are presented in a way that looks simple and approachable, but then you discover more and more nuance as you go on. Doesn't hurt that I'm a sci-fi geek, too. Would recommend!

I ust to love this game and played it for years. A couple months ago, it wiped all my progress of over a year and brought me back to almost no progress and lost all my purchases. I had to fight to get my purchases back, and they didn't even answer me when I asked about all my progress. Not a single answer. And now the game doesn't even pay out the tournament prizes. So, great game when it works, 5 stars. But just be prepared to lose years of progress and glitches.

This game is extremely laid back and fun from a space builder, manager, statistical analysis perspective. The music is fantastic. The UI is easy to learn and engaging. One of my favorite parts is the ads. You can watch as little or as much as you want. The ads reward you for watching in a really good way. I find myself wanting ads in this game vs finding them annoying in almost every other. The purpose and role they play is smart and I respect that. Fantastic space builder game

There seems to be an issue with mine rate while the app is closed. I ran a quick test and found that when my app was open, I was acquiring 1.3k aluminum per 66s. However, when I close the app and leave my phone idle, I don't get anywhere close to that. Maybe that's by design, but I don't see a disclaimer anywhere. Regardless, that should be changed.

Arguably one of the highest quality games I've had the pleasure of downloading in the cesspits of free games. It is so good I felt obliged to leave a review. While accepting that it is a game that uses ads, they are the least intrusive I've ever seen, to the point of being optional. It's not a high-octane, fast-paced game, but that's not why you get an idle game. Techtree games do good work, from what I've seen of this and The Tower. Anyway, that's all, I gotta get back to mining.

Excellent game. Very fair monitization. Does not shove ads in your face and you could definitely play without watching any although, it would probably take a very long time without watching any ads or paying. The gameplay is pretty simple and just upgrading everything would work fine but there's enough depth there that you can spend a decent amount of time thinking about which upgrades will be most efficient next.

A great idle sim, it fills my Evolve niech on Amdroid. I wish there were less "pay me" pokes, but monitization is a HARD balance to strike. And, in this case, the $10 USD entry fee isn't that bad. I will applaud the game for its tutorials and how early you start seeing some of the higher end stuff and the reset mechanics. It's nice to see that demonstrated as early as I found it.

This is not really an idle game if it stops being idle after two hours.. If it actually becomes idle I'll increase my rating to what it was before I realized the developers are using lie tactics to get people to download and play their game. Other than that I love the game and would love it more if I didn't have to come back every two hours to re-engage the idle part.

This is THE BEST idle resource whatever game I've ever played. And like many of us, I've played a lot. It's not littered with ads, it's got an appealing art style and calming ambiance, the numerical system it uses is well balanced and makes progress feel rewarding but not tedious, and there are several ways you can progress as the player. This game is EXEMPLARY, as far as idle games go.

Fun game with good graphics. This game does take a lot of patience but at least there's not any force adds like other games. When you watch an add you get more then then one reward, one for whatever the ad was for and one for the beacon, and sometimes for quests/missions whatever it's called. Like the game, no problems with it so far besides ads stop my music app for some wierd reason, if that could be fixed somehow that would be amazing.

Pretty chill laid back game, there is no ads that force you to stop playing as it's just video ads. Progression is very slow starting for the beginning galaxies. The buy in for it is definitely a way to improve gameplay but you will be looking at spending 20$ into it to really get anywhere. A doable game without it and no pressures. Overall like it alot.

This game is great. It is a very good simulation of operation logistics. One thing that would make this game even better is if you could indicate the quantity of items you want to forge or craft so it automatically stops and doesn't blow through you stock that you may need for other items. Ads aren't too bad. Taking a 30 second break to gain some money or speed increase is healthy.

This game has really improved since the last time I played. Dark matter is easier to obtain without having to fork out cash. The remove ads and first permanent ship bonus are fairly reasonably priced. I think more people would be willing to pay for the second permanent ship if it were $15-20 dollars. $29.99 feels to me like a little too much.

Game is pretty good. I would reccomend it. I do have one suggestion; instead of ship speed data, make it how long it takes for the ship to get to the mothership and back. We don't have distance data, so speed is honestly useless when I'm trying to maximize my upgrades and am calculating the math to do so. It'll get the same point across that you're upgrading shipping speed, but in a format that I can actually use. Thank you!

Fun. I like the crafting and the long term play style. But it really does encourage you to buy the microtransactions much like the other tech tree games. The only real issue I take is that my crafters and progress randomly get set back. I'm not sure if it's a thing with the save system or what. Last night I check, and my 6 crafters has made 96 lenses. This morning I looked and I only had 1 active and 14 lenses. Weird and a little discouraging. Pretty good overall other than that
