Idle Elemental

Phenomenal game! Everything is designed really well to scale late game, and it works. Earth really does need a rework though. Because of all of the upgrades that cost half an earth, you end up having to deal with "parity", as I call it. Please double all of the prices and storage and halve the scaling to fix this issue. Other than that, pretty dang good!

This is a pretty fun game if you enjoy more active play. You eventually unlock automation and even offline progression, but it's only a couple of minutes at a time, which basically requires you to be pretty active if you want to be optimal. It drains the battery pretty fast and heats up the phone a lot like others have said. The main issue is that some things in the game aren't explained very well, but you can figure them out somewhat easily. No ads or IAPs, which is fantastic!

This isn't idle and it's far from a "game". It's a great singular mechanic that a game could be built around and I hope to see significant development in the future. On the bright side, it's free. No ads. No in-game purchases. It also has a definitive ending, so it makes for a good time sink that you can finish in a few days time.
