Idle

Idle games feature automatic progression that continues even when players aren’t actively playing. These games emphasize long-term growth, strategic upgrade choices, and return-reward cycles rather than constant active engagement.

The appeal of idle mechanics lies in satisfying progression without constant attention demands. Players make strategic decisions about resource allocation and upgrades, then enjoy watching their investments pay dividends over time.

Idle games suit players who enjoy optimization, number-growth satisfaction, and games that respect time constraints by progressing during breaks and offering meaningful advancement in short, focused sessions.
