User Reviews for Exponential Idle
Exponential Idle - A mindless idle game like the others
This game at first appears to be just a smarter, but more simple design. No cookies to click. Just a mathematical equation. As you continuously progress in the game you get to experience the complex equations that start to happen. Adding more variables using “Stars” which unlike most idle games is able to get while having fun. Just as I started thinking wow, this game really isn’t that fun. I got to the prestige part, I had clicked the first equation about 8,000 times. I reached a point where my f(t) wasn’t going up that much anymore and then I became able to prestige. This changed everything I was then getting higher and higher until I reached around ee100 then I got introduced to Supremacy. Eventually getting auto buyers, then an auto prestiger. I could then AFK for around 4-8 hours come back and supremacy. I am currently sitting at ee730 and waiting to get the achievement for reaching ee777.
The best idle game I’ve ever played
This game is the most mechanically deep idle game I’ve ever played. Custom automation gets rid of the most monotonous parts of this genre while challenging you to think mathematically. Multiple levels of prestige and the unique mini games help keep the game interesting. The pacing is almost perfect. Progress normally happens fairly quickly and, when it doesn’t, using a good automation expressions lets you sit back and wait for the speed to catch up again.I have no complaints outside of occasional lag on the mini games, which can be annoying if you’re trying to beat your top time.
My life after exponential idle
Exponential idle is not a game, it’s a lifestyle and a culture. My life has completely changed after downloading this game. I have lost everything I had except for this game. I was fired from my job for exponential idling too competitively. I now live in a homeless shelter and survive off of social security checks. I need food stamps to survive now, I have lost everything from this game. My wife divorced me, and took the kids. Bertha was originally supportive of my idling lifestyle. But then as the debt grew, she became more discriminatory about my idling culture. I decided that she was the issue and needed to be erased from my life. I have given you everything, and in return I have achieved eternal happiness knowing that I am the greatest idler to ever exist.-Brian Zang Sub
Great game, with some performance issues
The game is really fun and the mechanical complexity is well thought out for an idle game. The various prestige systems have been interesting to discover and experiment with.My largest complaint is that performance can be a bit spotty at times. Turning my graph quality to low seems to have helped, but even letting the game sit without doing anything sees dropped frames. Using the accelerator button, playing the mini games and immediately after prestiging the performance issues seem to worsen. Overall though the game is still playable and this is more an inconvenience than anything else.
Not impressed. Ironically simple
So far I’ve gone through 2 iterations of “prestige” and reached the fourth variable. Compared to other idle games, the growth equation of Exponential Idle seems too basic, which makes the game kinda boring for me. It’s kinda ironic that the equation is so simple, given that the theme of the game is exponential math. Maybe it gets more complex later? But I have little interest in playing to get to that point.To explain what I mean - in the game you build up your independent variable X (thereby improving your f(x) function), and you also level up other sub-variables to do it. The function is just X = 0.8*Xlv + 2*(Ylv+Zlv+Slv). Basically the contribution of Y, Z, and S (per level) are exactly the same, so you end just level up whichever one is cheaper... kinda boring. Also the contribution of leveling X is just 40% as much as leveling the others, and it’s free to do so but you can only give it 1 level at a time. It feels like the game rewards you for mindless clicking with little to no strategy involved.On the other hand, other idle games (like AdVenture Capitalist and all its follow-up games) present you with multiple different resources and challenge you to manage them all to optimize your growth... which is overall much more interesting and fun. Exponential Idle just falls short.
A simple and interesting game
This is a really simple game. Basically it allows players to modify the parameters of a function, and the goal is to push the function value as high as possible (and as fast as possible). What’s interesting about the game is that the player does not need to understand the actual formula. The player can test different parameters to get a feeling of rate of the change; and slowly moving toward the “optimal” parameter.I rated this game 4 stars because I believe there are many other ways to improve the game. Imagining if we could map the function to another space, which would reflect the overall growth of the original function. It could brings a more intuitive way for players to evaluate the growth of the function by changing certain variables. Or map the function to a random space, in which it would draw something chaotic. Every time the player opens the game up, he/she could see a few different graphs. It is always fun to use a function to draw other functions, wondering which variable(s) is(are) causing those curvatures. If so, the “idle” part of the game could become much more fun. As it becomes a real experiment, and the player would be waiting for the resulting graph.I haven’t finished the game yet. Those are Just a few thoughts popping up when I was playing it. Hoping we could dig more potential out of this simple game.Best regards.
Don’t let the complexity scare you away
I really enjoyed this game. You can enjoy it on a couple different (intellectual) levels. First, it’s just a very fun idle game that is quite well balanced. Upgrades come and take a bit of time and then the things that become bothersome to manage become automatic. Second, it’s a game about math. For most of the equations you don’t need to understand them to progress. At the very end of the game there are some that you will need to understand, but that’s a very small part of the game and some web searching or a helpful soul on discord will get you sorted out. I’m an electrical engineer and thought the equations were well thought out and straightforward, although there was one that still confuses me to this day, but that wasn’t one I needed to know. There is no pay wall, just watch and ad to get a few hours of boosted progress. Or pay a small one time transaction to always be boosted. Also, it has an end. I personally like that because I don’t feel like I’m playing just to play and finally delete it one day when I’m tired of the same old routine. It’ll take you several weeks to get to the end, maybe longer. I highly recommend it if you like idle games and/or like math.
Best Mobile Game I’ve Played!
At first it seems like a mindless clicker, where your equation is approaching some value and therefor your growth is decreasing, as the story implies.But, as soon as it starts to seem tedious and like there are diminishing returns, the game offers you a way to automate that process and move on to prestiging to increase the growth potential.Then this becomes tedious and appears to grant diminishing returns, and more and more time-consuming prestiges.And then another layer is introduced: supremacy. And yet again all of your progress is reset to redo it all over again with a very much increased growth factor.I’m currently three prestige layers in: graduation, where you are a professor and you must reach higher definitions of infinity with more and more students.Every time a layer seems boring or like the progress is slowing down, a new one is introduced that resets but greatly increases the growth of the previous one.It is amazingly well balanced and so satisfying.As an additional bonus, all of the equations that the app uses to calculate values are made available to you, so you can use them to figure out exactly how things work and around what point you’ll hit what you want.All in all, an incredible game about math, growth, and optimization. Love it! Thank you for making something so beautiful and satisfying! And most of all, thank you for not hiding actual satisfying growth and enjoyment behind a pay wall.
Great game!
Obviously there is waiting involved (it’s in the name of the game) but after a bit there is a good bit to do and solve. No necessary in game purchases nor ads. Even when you leave the game it continues without you and after a bit you can automate things making leaving easier. I pick up the game for maybe 5 minutes every few hours and the point where I am in the game. I am very satisfied with how simplistic this game is on the surface but I know there was some serious math involved in the creation of this and I give props to the creators for there hard work. 10/10 game amazing!
I bet it’s a great game
I don’t really understand it. I’m taking calculus 2 and I still trying to wrap my head around the various methods of integration and series/sums of convergence and divergence. Im not doing well in the class tbh. I just keep pressing random variables. Is the goal to have the function runaway exponentially? Like x^x? Or something reaching infinity near a vertical asymptote? It keeps leveling out in rocket fashion like a square root function. That’s annoying lol but I still like to see the graph change as I press variables. Too many variables though. I don’t even see all of them, but maybe it’s just because I don’t understand. Or maybe I have to figure out what those variables do? Even though they’re not explicitly written in the function? People are saying it’s a fun game nonetheless
Description
Play Exponential Idle, a math-inspired incremental game. Your goal is to stack up money by taking advantage of exponential growth. To do so, you have to step through time by tapping the equation or simply let the time follow its course.
