Ratings and reviews

Very nicely designed idle game, simple mechanics and no forced ads/no p2w. Progress moves quickly with the main limiting factor seeming to be the stars used to purchase upgrades. The upgrade respec is free and does not require prestige, so you can freely experiment with different setups or move stars to get particular upgrades. Not sure when I first tried the game, years ago by now. The math scared me away. Came back recently and am just ignoring the math and focusing on making big #s. Very fun

While you don't need math knowledge to play Exponential Idle .. when I first saw this one, my inner math nerd was instantly excited! The great thing is, you can ignore the details if you want to just goof around with different aspects .. or, you can delve into the functions and learn something new. The pleasant music is a plus as well; I use EI to chill before bed. Although I've just gotten started, I see that the path forward will be very interesting and fun!

For years this has stuck in my head as one of the best idle games out there. It always feels like there's something productive to do, and the way automation works within it is super cool. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but it makes up for that quite quickly. The story is also amazing at sitting right between plausible and absurd.
