Reviews of Exponential Idle

2025-01-29	Jacob Sosa	Out of every idle and incremental games I've played, this has gotta be one of, if not THE best I've ever played. I know about ones that I overall found super fun, like Grass Cutting Incremental, various incrementals on Roblox and the app store, and more. This is just simple, going with the functions of Algebra and expanding on variables. I just love this, 10/10.
2024-07-02	Chris Schneider	Well made, but too "Idle" for my tastes. I thoroughly enjoy incremental games, so gave this a shot. It's super well made with a great UI. Unfortunately, I prefer games that allow for more active play, and this one leans heavily into "do a few things and come back tomorrow." Not a problem, but just not for me. I'd recommend Antimatter Dimensions, Magic Research, Dark Room, if you're looking for something that can be more actively played.
2024-01-16	Aphro Nikka	This is a fantastic game. It's been on my phone for at least a couple years and I always find myself coming back to it. The fact that the developer is still adding new features and fixing bugs is astounding. I've always thought of this game as being an “under the hood” version of the idle game concept: it's like if you stripped away all the flashy user interfaces and themes of a regular idle game and instead got to mess around with the raw numbers.

Starting out is quite intuitive, however. The math enhances the game experience rather than harming it and it's nothing like anything else I've seen.

I then reached a point where outside of the auto prestige and supremacy, the star rewards became pointless. Then, I reached a point where all sense of progression has stagnated. Where it's taken nearly a week to gain just 1 student, and now it's taking longer just to get the next. It's almost not worth prestiging or doing a supremacy, because it takes literal days to get back to where you were even after upgrades
2023-07-23	Edwin Jag	A very solid game that I have not yet completed and because I have not yet completed it, I have one fear for the rest of the game. I fear that it will end up becoming boring and autonomous although looking through the wiki has given me a small hint that this may not be true at all. Overall an amazing game that I definitely recommend, especially if you need to kill time.
2023-05-09	Kyle Nielsen	I've played a lot of idle games, but this one takes the cake (or pi). It has a good pace, and unlockables and achievements are satisfying. I also like that game progress is not blocked behind ad/pay walls. Most idle games practically force you to watch ads to increase progress beyond a crawl, but this one is easily playable without watching ads. Although, $1.49 for the permanent ad boost is totally reasonable, and this developer deserves to make some money.
2022-08-22	Tanis Irwin	Best Idle I've played. Really focuses on the numbers and not the flashy. Makes me feel like breaking out spreadsheets, but also so perfectly idle. No offline limits (I think), no daily login gimmick (besides progressing of course). Just a game to be played. Beautiful. Cherry on top is the permanent ad purchase is not over priced and very worth it. I'd pay it just to support this developer.
2022-08-16	Seth R	This is the pinnacle of idle games. No microtransactions to keep playing. Endless growth, both idle and active options. The community is also fantastic. Anyone searching for the perfect Idle Game can stop, you have found it. I have found every aspect of the game to be fun, and never felt like things were slowed down for the developer to make more money. I wish every mobile game was developed with such passion.
2022-01-16	Robert Brooks	I remember just enough math to know that I would need to go back to college calculus to fully understand what's going on. But it doesn't matter. The game is fun enough to "play" just by numeric brute force. I'll come back after weeks away, and see the results of the calculations, and tweak something and let it run again. (It's not actually mathing in real time, don't worry, it's not going to toast your battery)
