Tutorial

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

Just simple ones

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

IDLE

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.

Just started but liking it so far

Easy to play and enough to keep interest

I like it but there’s a few issues

#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 ā€œmaxā€ 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

Liked it until paywall

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.)

Response from developer

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...

Some good fun but there’s a firm indisputable paywall

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.

Fun & Unique

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

Great start

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

fun & addictive idle game.

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.

Something wrong?

All I can do is build to 10 of everything. How do I do other things? What are eggs for and where are they? This is the only version I can download.

How do I get the correct version?

Doctor Mike

Good start, still rough...

I like where this is going. I’ve played a lot of idle games, and there are a couple new mechanics at work here that have potential. Prestiging individual planets instead of having to reset your entire game every day is nice. The loot eggs are a nice idea, but are way underpowered. I usually buy all upgrades and manager levels right when I unlock a new item, so the loot egg bonuses there are wasted and only give like 1500 cash if already maxed. The biggest problem is quartz crystals. The game advertises the in-app purchases are optional, but the only other way to get crystals is to watch ads. For usually 2-5 crystals an ad, and unlocking the second star system costs 1000. -_- Crystals should be awarded on every Exploit of a planet, or maybe each time you hit a new max level on an item. Or have planets that are maxed out and ready for Exploit slowly generate crystals so there’s a reason for not Exploiting to reset them right away.

?!Broken?!

So, I wake up this morning to find this game already downloaded and ready to go. Excitement is an understatement simply due to wanting a new idle game to keep me busy. However, it would be nice to actually get the opportunity to play the game?! First off the game is being attempted on an iPhone 6 Plus. Secondly, it’s shut down shortly after completing boot-up and the highest I’ve gotten so far before a shutdown was 32.00 coins, or whatever the currency is in this game, for the very first icon, cupcake something. I’ve retried this game 5 or 6 different times, hard rebooted my phone after deleting several games just to make sure it wasn’t a memory issue, and tried several more times before resorting to posting this review.

Give me the ability to play the game for more than a few seconds before shutting down and I’ll go back and change my rating and review. I don’t like leaving negative reviews for new games because I like to give them a chance, however if it’s unplayable it’s worth letting the developers know. Thank you for your time addressing this matter.

!!UPDATE!!

So, after the update to the official release I spent several days playing w/ out incident. However, after several ā€˜prestiges’ and journeying to a few other planets I found the game to be a bit repetitive and, tbh, boring. When I first clicked on the golden eggs and saw the line appearing across the lower screen I was excited to see what would happen, surprise to say, nothing at all happened! Unless you count watching the line start over again... I’ll keep my eyes open for future updates to see if this idle clicker is worth another shot, until then it’s being uninstalled due to no substance or lack of anything to hold my interest.

Right version good so far!!

2nd review. Now that the right version has been released, this game seems much better! All of my previous complaints are fixed. I have not gotten to experience any of the new mechanics as of yet.

Response from developer

Hi Dragova, We absolutely agree! It was the test version of the game that was released for some reason. We've gotten Apple to release the correct version and would love to know what you think now. Happy Exploiting!

Agree with the low reviews

There are many pointless ā€œupgradesā€...I quote upgrades because wth do they do? And time boost? For what? Makes no sense to me, if some of the buyable things did something this could be an interesting game when it’s finished
Update: much better with the fixes, more interactive which results in much more fun to play. I have to admit I still don’t know what the ā€œupgradesā€ do but I can move along without them.

Hi Person20206, We really appreciate the feedback. It was the test version of our game that was released for some reason. We've gotten Apple to release the correct version. Hint: (the upgrades add to the profit of the resource. You can see its effect by the green floating number at the end of the progress bar). Let us know what you think now. Happy Exploiting!

Fun game after initial hicup

Game is pretty good even though the game was released initially super bugged by accident props to the dev team for fixing it quickly

It got good

Now that the real update of the game is out I have to say it’s nice. I like the little chibis and the idle aspect seems pretty nice. Good job

Response from developer

Hi HelioTrillium, We really appreciate the understanding. You obviously knew what was going on with the test version being released instead of the correct version. Thanks again, and Happy Exploiting!

Would like to try but it crash on the loading screen please fix

Kind of sucks really

Pretty horrid

Lags hard sometimes, you can go into second to last tab and click on gold egg to get billions and just buy everything, and there is no prestige system

Response from developer

Hi Steven, We agree. :) For some reason Apple released our test version... But we've fixed that. Check it out now and let us know what you think. (Hint: the prestige system is in the ability to exploit a planet). Happy Exploiting!

Unfinished

This game is unfinished! There is only 2 awards. Once you get everything at level 10 there is nothing more to do.
Bug: I went to store clicked on the egg at bottom and nothing was happening, but when I went back to main screen I got 1bil for ever time I clicked the egg. Now all planets are maxed out and there is nothing else to do.

Hi Ccrazy78, You're absolutely right! It was the test build that Apple released. We've updated that to the correct version and would love to hear what you think now. :) Happy Exploiting!
