Addictive little game, very fun with a familiar formula (Harvest moon). Only really major thing i didn't like was the fact that you can't cancel a prosperity upgrades.
Reviews for "Idle Farmer"
So does increasing the tool level increase the speed you use tools while idle, like harvesting? Or does it only affect using tools actively yourself?
Junjo responds:
It increases the speed always, both idle and active.
I noticed the same bug at post 400 cap when idling last night.
Junjo responds:
fixed, try to reload. Sometimes is needed to clean the cache (hey, but just the cache, not the cookies!)
I enjoyed it. It's very nice to just have running in the background of whatever I'm doing at the moment or while I sleep, and functionally it's quite sound. I'm not tremendously far along in it, but from what I've seen I have to agree with the others saying there isn't enough content - I know it's an idle game, but there's really quite little to do. The 'active' components of the game simply aren't engaging enough to really work. Even once you unlock things like the eggs or the lunch mechanics, it's not really doing anything different, just doing the same things faster. If there was more variety - maybe a mini-game of some kind when irrigating - then I could see the active portion taken more seriously.
Beyond that though? What's there definitely works. You nailed the important aspects of an idle game. It doesn't quit or pause when you minimize or switch tabs, and you can drop it at any point and just let it go. There isn't even a switch to hit, you can just up and walk away. It works just fast enough when idling that I still feel it's being productive, but at the same time I know things would go way faster if I chose to step in. The active has benefits, but don't overshadow the idle play. The cost mechanics are a little odd, but keep me from feeling like I'm getting too far too fast.
My recommendations would be to A) add more features, B) make the active features a touch more engrossing, and C) notch down some of the more exorbitant prices (I'm looking at you, houses). Overall, it's really only the fact that this game can idle, and idle WELL, that saves it. The active components are just too weak.
My chickens appear to be trying to go Super Saiyan. Please advise.
