Business Tycoon: Idle Clicker

Absolutely great game. It’s actually fun and you have a lot of accessibility. It has barely any ads except in the beginning when you’re constantly tapping. Once you buy your first business you’re on a roll. The only part that gets old is tapping constantly. But you don’t have to tap at all once you buy a few businesses.

I quite enjoy this game and have been playing daily for a little while. The only problem I currently see has to do with Business Profit. You have the ability to purchase items, but with in game and real-world currency, that should increase your business profit by a percentage. There are similar items for click-profit increase. My only problem is that my business profit doesn’t seem to be affected by any of these increases. The click-profit is, and you can see the increase in profit upon your first click post-purchase of the increasing item, but not with the businesses. I double checked this by doing the math for how much it states I’m making and how much I’m actually making. The stated earnings/minute, and collected amount/minute, does not change with these purchases.

So I’ve played a lot of idle games and this one really stands out to me, for a few reasons. For fans of idle games, and those of us who just love watching a number go up, I recommend this. But, that’s not to say it’s without its issues. 1. Metrics I love that buying assets increases your tap value and business profit, because it gives you a reason to collect all these things, and just makes overall profiting faster. Your first tap after buying a new car (or something else that increases tap value) will show you how the value has changed. However, the percentage increases to your business profits aren’t reflected anywhere. I would love to be able to see a total $/sec. so I know how much my assets are actually helping. Even in the individual business, the $/hour they show you doesn’t change. It only shows the base value. 2. Microtransactions Ads in this game are not invasive at first glance. When you’re just buying assets, improving businesses, and tapping, it seems pretty ad free. However, once you get the funds to start diving into the casino and the stock market, you’ll get an ad almost every time you play a game or sell/buy a stock. Given how much I was enjoying the game, I considered paying to remove ads, but after finding it was $10 to do so, I totally changed my mind. That’s a ridiculous amount to ask, and if you’re going to charge that much, there should be an option to spend a ridiculous amount of in-game money to remove ads too. At least that way players feel like it’s something they can achieve for free at some point, as a reward for dedication to your game. Overall, I think the game is a lot of fun. Progression feels fast and meaningful, and it scratches that collectathon itch in my brain while giving me an enjoyable idle game with truthfully quite a lot to do. If you’re into this kind of game, I recommend it, though I do hope the above things are taken into account by the developers.
