## What is Pyramid Idle?

Build pyramids in ancient Egypt, one stone at a time.

Choose a height and material, organise your workforce and keep stone moving from the quarry to the building site. Watch your pyramid take shape as you improve mining, transport and construction.

BUILD YOUR NEXT MONUMENT
Complete pyramids, earn rewards and choose your next challenge. Unlock new materials and develop your building methods.

MAKE EVERY UPGRADE COUNT
Use coins, Ankhs, research and talents to strengthen your production. Balance workers, supplies and transport to overcome bottlenecks. Discover the Trials of Ra as you progress.

PROGRESS BETWEEN VISITS
Return to offline progress, adjust your plan and continue building at your own pace.

PLAY LOCALLY OR SYNC YOUR PROGRESS

### 1/5 — New update is awful

*2026-10-12*

The new update is constantly checking for cloud saves when the app is open. Why is it doing this constantly? I can have this game open for 5 minutes and my battery percentage drops quickly in that same period of time while my phone heats up in my hand. This is ridiculous for a game to do when you only need it to check for cloud saves and updates once in a while, or hell, when it opens once.

**Developer response:** Thank you for describing this so clearly. I'm sorry the game has been draining your battery and heating up your phone. Does this still happen in version 1.6.1? Please send your device model and iOS version to info@kasparmedia.de so we can better understand the repeated cloud-save checks you are seeing.

### 1/5 — Lag

*2026-10-03*

The only game I have that lags…even trying to scroll through the menus.

I assume the game is trying to render every single pyramid block, continuously. That is unnecessary, and a processing burden on devices.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting the stuttering, and I'm sorry even the menus have felt slow. Version 1.6.1 adds a Reduced graphics option in Settings and shortens saving pauses with large histories. Please try the update and Reduced graphics. If the menus still stutter, please let us know your device model at info@kasparmedia.de.

### 3/5 — A decent but buggy game

*2026-06-17*

I’ll make progress offline and once O click past it the coins I have earned are gone, and the pyramids I have unlocked and no longer unlocked. It’s a cool idea for an idle game, the music is great. But it can also be hard to understand what to upgrade and what I’m doing in general. Keep the idea but overhaul the game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback and the kind words about the idea and music. I'm sorry your offline coins and pyramid unlocks disappeared. Does this still happen in the current version, 1.6.1? Please contact info@kasparmedia.de with your device model and what happens after the offline summary. Your point about unclear upgrade guidance is helpful, too.

### 5/5 — Solid idle

*2026-05-08*

Solid idle game , got about 20 hours in and still going. Developer is also updating super fast

**Developer response:** Thank you for the five stars and for spending so much time with Pyramid Idle! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and the updates. Your support means a lot.

### 1/5 — Problem…

*2026-05-06*

The stone limit is WAY too small :(
Please cap population due to housing limit…
Bug : 30 days of mining while unlocking does not work properly :(

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed report. I'm sorry the storage limits and mining-unlock issue caused frustration. Does the mining unlock still fail in version 1.6.1? Please send the unlock name and what happens to info@kasparmedia.de so we can understand the problem more precisely. Your feedback about stone storage and housing limits is helpful, too.
