Tiny Planet
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn a bare, grey rock into a living blue-green world, one percent at a time. Tiny Planet is a calm idle game. Fill your planet with water until the globe turns blue, then dirt, air, grass, trees, flowers and animals, and finally a moon of its own. Every element earns stardust, and stardust opens the next one. NOT JUST IDLE ANYMORE Your planet grows on its own, and now you can lend a hand. Drag to spin it, tap to catch what happens on it, and come back for a daily gift that grows over seven days. Miss a day? A free streak guard keeps your streak going. ⢠Planet events: catch shooting stars, crack geodes, time the lightning, find lucky clovers and follow the herd. Every element brings a new one, and catching them in a row builds a streak. ⢠Collection: catches can drop shells, gems, butterflies and more. Finish a set for a permanent perk and +5% income. ⢠Powers: finished elements become powers. Make it rain, start a quake, call the herd or summon an eclipse. ⢠Landmarks: rare finds unlock a lighthouse, a windmill, a rocket pad and more to place on your planet. ⢠New planets: finish your world, then start a fresh one with its own shape and colors and +25% income for good. Finished planets are kept in a gallery. ⢠Solar system: every finished planet joins your star in orbit. Pick its type and one power recharges faster for good, and your system unlocks moonlets, a comet, star rings and more as it grows. ⢠Weekly challenge: one bigger goal every week, on top of three daily quests, for Starseeds and a medal. HOW IT PLAYS ⢠Fill each element 1% at a time and see it spread across the spinning globe ⢠Each element earns stardust every second, and doubles its income when it reaches 100% ⢠Unlock the next element with the stardust you've grown ⢠Tap the planet for a little extra stardust whenever you like EIGHT ELEMENTS ⢠Water, dirt, air, grass, trees, flowers, animals and a moon ⢠Each one changes how your planet looks, from the first puddles to herds on the plains ⢠A full planet takes about two weeks of relaxed play IT GROWS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY ⢠Your planet keeps earning for up to 8 hours while the app is closed ⢠Come back to a welcome-back gift of everything it made CALM BY DESIGN ⢠No timers to race, no energy bars, no pressure ⢠Gentle sounds and haptics, both easy to switch off ⢠Plays offline; your progress stays on your device FAIR AND OPTIONAL ⢠Ads only play when you choose one: Ć2 income for 4 hours, a Ć3 gift, or Ć2 welcome-back earnings ⢠Prefer none?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fruit Fly Idle at none against Tiny Planet's 1. Fruit Fly Idle also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
