Ratings and reviews

This is definitely the best version of any of the Groundhog Life-like games out there. Just when you think you've finally done everything in the game, you instead find an entire new set of game mechanics. Fantastic work from the dev(s) on this, seriously. The ad removal is crazy cheap and also pretty necessary, though I actually think the game warrants a price tag. It being free is a steal! Highly recommended.

Really fun. I always enjoy idle games that actually habe content. The only things that bug me are minor OCD things. Namely, it would be nice if jobs could be manually auto'd like skills (to insure a XX50% Exp bonus), and the +XX9%/XX4% bonuses from skills drives me batty. Not sure how to fix that. Maybe have things start at level 0? Or give 1% bonus at level 1? Neither issue is really a big deal, but in games that are all about staring at numbers, it's nice when the numbers are neat and clean.

Kinda dodgy that you CAN'T actually idle in this game, despite having Idle in the name, but it's a good game so far. Bought the starter pack for the automation slots, so I can't be a judge of how ads work, though. EDIT: also, yeah, death via percentage is awful, since it means you could be on a run for an hour or two, then randomly die an early death, tossing out 100% of the progress you made.

What's new
