Idle Zen

I play a lot of idle games, because I appreciate their casual nature. However, this game has me scratching my head. it's not truly an idle game, because when you are not playing, game essentially stops and you don't collect from the balls dropping. Apparently you have to upgrade this? The controls are abysmal, and it's close to impossible to tap the screen without it trying to scroll. The upgrade path for the falling balls is extremely slow paced, and collecting money is boring. There is also a complete lack of sound? I'm considering giving this game a lower rating, but it does have promise if they were to fix a lot of the UI and gameplay issues.

Game is relaxing for sure. There are alot of small issues that you notice as you play it though. Timer for the buffs are incorrect, sometimes, not all the time though... Which is weird. The points that you earn when "away" is drastically reduced! I earned around 3 to 4 million in a minute, just watching the screen. I then closed the game and came back 10 minutes later and only had 150,000 points. Overall, I keep the game on my phone. It passes the time when im bored.

Progression feels a bit slow, I dont know any possible way to fix that. The game actually has very little advertisements from my experience, which is rare with games that advertise themselves like this one. Its exactly what it looks like, with a bit more for some extra measure. The UI is clean, but sometimes the transparency can be annoying. The settings are pretty easy to understand, and it rewards you for trying out some settings.

Fun game and a good concept to start, however there are some bugs that should be fixed. The most major bug is that the game doesnt want to scroll correctly, and often throws me to a black screen, rendering the game unplayable, and forcing me to restart the app. other than that, offline progress is practically nonexistent, and should be fixed. 3/5 until the scrolling bug is fixed.

kinda had a hard time getting the point at first... but that's just it... it doesn't have one. there is no winning or losing, you don't have anything you must do or not do, you don't have to achieve anything and you don't have to even click unless you want to... it's pretty chill. I'd like to see more variation for music choices, and longer sound clips would make them less annoying... the music is fine, but it loops way too fast and becomes irritating rather than relaxing after several mins

The new update is horrible, the format for the menus now hurt my eyes. the inability to choose the size of the sphere that pops(for lack of a betyer term) the circles is beyond irritating, and you can't even make it last longer like, you've taken away precision from it and personally I find it annoying. Like I actually like this game and some updates such as the second world were good. But this changed it and took away features that I like. So I'm going to have to rate it lower than in the past.

Would be 5 stars but the issues in world 1, not being able to upgrade the "mix" part of the level to fully work, it's really annoying. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, balls will always get stuck on that part. Pop them out, OK, then not even a few minutes later, they're stuck yet again. Prestige, restart, get back down to that level, same thing. Fix it so that you can upgrade "mix" enough to let the balls thru without and issue and it's 5 stars.

This seems to be a well thought out game. plenty to do with the little dots and the different levels. Very enjoyable once you figure out the mechanics. You are rewarded for watching ads, and the gameplay to ad ratio is perfect. I quite enjoy the music, as well as the simple layout. The only things that I would absolutely love to see is maybe a watch ad to gain other music choices, and some more levels to unlock. Thank you for putting so much work into this wonderful game!

Very fun game to play if you're bored. It starts out a little slow, but if you choose the right upgrades first you'll start raking coins in. A nice part about the game is that you don't have to tap ALL of the balls. When they reach the bottom of the level you have a chance of them continuing and you'll get coins if they do. The game also has a tap size and duration setting, to help you not have to tap so much.

This game is pretty straightforward, it has a main mechanic that is shown immediately, and everything makes sense to me. The graphics style is nice and simple, not too flashy or distracting. Pacing and progression feel a bit off though, offline production might as well not exist with how slow it is, and there are a few levels that seem very slow. i'm mostly thinking of world 1's level 5, and world 2's level 2 (which might as well just be a floor considering how slow it is)

(Edit 6/25/19 - GET RID OF THE PLAYABLE ADS! They don't work, they close themselves, and the game is messed up afterwards. I have to actually go to my phone's app settings, stop the app, clear the cache, and restart just to make it work again. I don't mind the other ads, though.) If you're smart, you'll figure it out. After that, it's a great idle game. I've been playing it more than I thought I would. Also, you get an extra star for not having the option to purchase gems and powerups. 😊

Edit: Lag issue fixed! 5 stars! It's definitely a fun and quirky game. the initial pull was the smooth, clean, bouncy movement of the balls. the latest update has created a bit of a lag issue. The game appears more choppy now which is a little disappointing. It makes the game much harder to look at. That being said, the update was a nice change of pace. Balls come faster and the smaller amount of levels in between large value boosts is great.

I'm totally addicted.. my hubby thinks I'm crazy. lol. give it a try. update: the constant updating is really cool! I love the song and the quotes to it too! this game is beautiful and simple.😍👍plus the ads are optional, watching it to get jems is so easy as well, I personally will let the ads play while I'm watching a movie or TV. It helps me earn jems! It helps the creators! it's a win-win! otherwise there are no ad interruptions! which is the best part of it all!. I'm off to play again!

this game is awesome! helps with my anxiety. calming. beautifully done. addictive. excellent controls. there aren't pop up ads, only ads to give you bonuses. I really like that the ads do not interfere with any of the game and are completely optional. i wish i could give more stars. I've really been waiting for a game like this and I'm excited for more levels. any idea on a time frame for more content?

Good idea but very confusing. Impossible to understand the rules. In the 1st part, you get more points if the ball reaches the end than if you pop it, but in the 2nd part, it's the opposite... The 2nd part (that you have to unlock) gives way less points. Some balls randomly give more points. When you upgrade a ball type, it doesn't affect the balls already here, so you feel like you've done nothing... And as other said, the progression is globally broken, and resets are useless.

Oddly not idle, yet too idle. If you exit the app, you don't get nearly the number of points you're supposed to. Even at 71m of supposed idle time, I get as many points as around 20-30 seconds of being in-app. And every incremental upgrade takes a long time to get. Wouldn't be as bad if you could close the app, but as it is, having to keep the app open for the entirety of playing it, it's not worth it

Descent ball dropper, doesn't destroy the experience with ads or a pay wall. Also didn't make a big deal about third party advertisement policies and got right to the game. I enjoyed the random quotes that were added in, applauds for whoever's idea that was. Issue was that the replay value after a few prestige had me losing interest after the third day of gameplay. Other than that it's exactly what it says on the tin. Thanks for the experience, Development.

Its pretty good. Simple idle fun, with cute little physics. Nothing too complicated in the controls (although the menus and what number means what can be a little confusing). I'd say the worst part is that the music gets really annoying and repetitive, but I think most people play games with the sound of these days anyway.

One problem that people bring up on idle games (or just games in general) is that they hate the constant ads. There's a trick that you can use without having to buy those apps that take up more space. Put your phone in airplane mode! (This trick only works when your playing offline games but it actually works, but the one small downside is that you won't get any important notifications while airplane mode is active... Have a good day (or night)

I am really enjoying this game. It has helped with my anxiety and is distracting during those stressful times. The only suggestions I would make is have an option right away to dull the colors and have a dark mode for the menu. The ball colors can be a little intense at times and switching from the the planet design to the menu is almost blinding! Otherwise, so good! 😁

Love the new update! The changes to the flatline level make jamming up much less frequent, and the interface enhancements give a much sharper, cleaner look! My favorite thing is that you guys have no micro transactions in the game. It truly makes for a stress-free game, and a nice experience, as you don't feel pressured to buy anything.

Game glitched and will not let me play anymore. I opened it up and the box showing "away earnings" popped up and when I try to collect it, nothing happens. No, I'm not trying to use those tokens to get double the amount when I dont really have any. I mean I'm just trying to collect the regular amount so the box goes away and lets me play. It wont. I tried closing and reopening the app multiple times and it still won't respond.

Game is fun, but it is very squirrely trying to choose between a tap and a swipe. I tap quickly, and end up shooting down to the bottom of the map. Also, it seems as though the selection point for the tap is either off or really small. It is hard to tap the balls away. Overall fun, but needs some tweaking.

I installed this game after results of incremental games on reddit. I have to admit that the idea is awesome. The rest is terrible. A lot of tiny bugs. A lot of things needs to be explained. I have prestiged two times so I know where the game is going late game. There are 2 problems. Offline progress is terrible so the best str is to have the game open all possible times. But the biggest problem is the performance. Even when scrolled to lock lvl, the big amount of balls caused lag. Phone overheat

it reset me to if i just opened the game, but i can scroll down and see the levels i unlocked previously, but it's grayed out, and it has remnants of the balls i had already spawned. i lost all my prestige balls or whatever too. i can find a way to send a picture if that will help it make more sense but I'm kinda frustrated, i was having fun i really don't want to restart.
