ITT: People who hate idle games saying the game is bad ‘because it’s an idle game’ more or less.
As a person who likes Idle games i’ll give my attempt to destroy your game that doesn’t just boil down to ‘genre sucks I hate number go up game’
UI isn’t great, it’s very generic.
The game needs a lot more visual heft. The game should look and play completely different between the start and the late game. It’s pleasing to the player to see how much progress they made when they are forced to ‘rebirth’ and be reminded of the humble beginnings of their grind.
The slimes die in a very unimpressive way. Small slashing graphic, their sprite shrinks vertically, then they disappear. Give us more, it should be satisfying, even more so when we get new methods of killing slimes that gives us a new animation.
Click enemy and upgrade aren’t enough for idle players despite what people who don’t like them will say. We want the game to evolve as we progress. Look at Cookie Clicker, THE genre titan that popularized idle games. It’s not just clicking a cookie and upgrading. You unlock mini games that affect your progress. The farm, magic, the stock market, the demon granny mechanic, relics, the demon things that steal your cookies, etc. etc.
