Idle Universe

I’ve been playing for a ridiculously long time, this was one of the OG idle games I got into and sincerely to see an update what, 2 days ago is absolutely nuts and makes me happy to see the dev is still around and cares. This game has so many variables it genuinely was hard to find another one like it, I don’t think I have yet. - How many years ago was this review? New update as of 2025 makes me VERY happy. 4 Stars because ads still don’t give rewards.

Game is rather simple in a very good way. However as an idle tapping game it has too much depth in all the wrong areas. The prestige system is way too overdone and clearly trying to keep the player locked in to progress in a very repetitive system when I find that a better way could be allowing us to have multiple universes going at once? Maybe even themes, goofy or other, to earn to prestige to? Another issue is the user interface, seems sloppily stitched together and gets buggy on newer devices. Also I find it comical that I can run huge games like fortnite & pubg on this iPhone X with zero issues yet at least 3 times a day this game will crash because I was trying to warp time or unlock another matter generator and end losing progress? I’m no expert on game developing but is an idle tapper really that hard to get running on a superior device? One last thing is that using a google account to track progress seems so lazy and unnecessary. Besides those grievances the game is rather enjoyable and does make the player want to see what kind of matter generator they can get next.

As someone who's beaten adcap and CC multiple times, this game is like the reverse adcap. It has a bit fairer model regarding p2w content but still relies heavily on ads that only mostly work. Unfortunately, it's personal style/UI isn't as flashy and intuitive as adcap, even if it is unique. It also has the issue of being painfully slow in the mid-late game, although it takes longer to reach this level than adcap does. Give it a try if you're looking for a new idler on mobile, but otherwise stick with the best there is, desktop Cookie Clicker.
