## What is I.D.L.E.?

Psst… Hey.  Wanna make some money?

Space exploration has never been this lucrative.

The ink hasn’t even dried yet on the tentative peace treaty drawn up between the Neotorian and Venah empires and you’re already on the move.  They say money makes the world go round, but you see that as short-sighted.  Why stop with just one world, right?  You want it all, and not just from your home planet.  With peace comes renewed opportunity to expand your reach to other worlds.  You don’t care whether they’re Humans, Elves or even Zombies, as long as they buy stuff.  You’ll have to start small and upgrade your resources, but hard work pays off and luckily there are plenty of land exploiters wanting to work for you.

Become the Intra-Dimensional Land Exploiter that you were destined to be!

In I.D.L.E. you have one responsibility:  Get filthy rich.

Features:
* 4 factions included in this release.
     - Neotoria is the steampunk human civilization.  Advanced technologically, highly populated and culturally diverse.
     - Venah are the collective tribes of forest people inhabiting a vast sector of space overrun with greenery and wildlife.
     - The Atra Mors region is feared for good reason considering over ninety-percent of its population are undead.
     - Azyria is a dark, shadowy civilization that remains largely a mystery to us. There are rumors that they are from a vampiric origin.
* 14 unique planets to exploit.
* 140 unique managers to hire and promote.
* 100 exploit levels, each with its own set of resource upgrades and achievements.
* 1000 possible resource upgrades at max exploit level for each of the 140 unique resources.
* Balanced gameplay with steady progression.
* Earn money while you’re away.
* 1000+ hours of gameplay.
* Managers automate your income.

### 1/5 — Tutorial

*2022-04-08*

Stop shoving tutorial down our throats and let us play the game

### 5/5 — Just simple ones

*2021-06-23*

LOVE THIS GAME! Simple games and no gory stuff are ones I play the most. Love looking for those eggs too😄

### 5/5 — IDLE

*2019-09-30, version 2.5*

Still a fun game to stay busy with. Have got into level 10 and love the incremental advances that come along between each one. Witty comments as we collect eggs and boost the planets.

### 5/5 — Just started but liking it so far

*2019-08-26, version 2.5*

Easy to play and enough to keep interest

### 3/5 — I like it but there’s a few issues

*2019-05-23*

#1. It is impossible to get crystals without paying money or watching tons of ads. 
#2. There should be an indicator showing which planet you are on. It gets extremely confusing when I log in and have to switch planets I don’t even know which one I am on. 
#3. There should be a “max” upgrade option. There’s the 1x 10x 100x but in the end there’s still too much clicking to upgrade, a max option would be so simpler. 
#4. If you decide to not do anything about the crystals, at least make loot eggs more common please

### 2/5 — Liked it until paywall

*2019-03-22*

Cute idle game with elements of adventure capitalist but has a unique style. However, there is a very early paywall and it is not at all clear that is the only way to proceed. There is no way to ask the devs questions.  Liked it and generally will spend $ on games that I like but I refuse to spend early on a hard paywall. (Remove ads, speed ups, even to open new chapters I don’t mind but only if that is clear.)

**Developer response:** Hi Wyeth88,  thanks for taking the time to review our game.  Sorry to hear that you're having problems progressing to other planets.  We made I.D.L.E. with the intent that you can move forward without having to spend any money.  It does take a lot of grinding through ads to make enough to get the other factions.  We found that it was much quicker to collect mini eggs and use the buffs to progress faster via achievements and actual quartz crystal drops from loot eggs etc.  However (hint, hint) we do have a big Easter update coming... that should make this grind a LOT easier.  

See?  We are listening :)  But you can always go to our website at lostseraph.com to reach us for questions, or suggestions, or just to tell us about your day...

### 2/5 — Some good fun but there’s a firm indisputable paywall

*2019-03-14*

The gameplay is easy enough, plays well, but there’s a point where if you want to open up new worlds,, you will have to pay up. And not just a dollar... that isn’t enough resource; to make your way through all the worlds is many many dollars. This is not very easily indicated, and not intuitive. 

As another reviewer pointed out, a great feature would be to earn crystals as a world completely setup goes unexploited. Or maybe buying crystals for a huge amount of in-game money. 

But the way it is now, you have to pay a lot, and that is totally off-putting. I would buy some if it was going to go a long way for me, but it’s clear that the game will continue leeching you dry, should you wish to complete all of the content. 

That is unless you want to watch hundreds of hours of ads (yes literally hundreds of hours would be necessary).

This is potentially a 5-Star game, but the paywall almost entirely ruins it.

### 4/5 — Fun & Unique

*2018-11-11*

Cute/funny art & jokes too. Apparently only real money can unlock more worlds.

### 5/5 — Great start

*2018-11-09*

Love the game so far.  It would be cool if there were permanent upgrades that affected all planets.  Great start for an idle game!  How you keep rolling out updates and maybe events down the road

### 5/5 — fun & addictive idle game.

*2018-10-15*

this is good fun, unique among the genre.

initial releases had a few bugs that i encountered.  developer obviously worked fast and the update fixed those.  Result is a great game.
