Idle Acorns Reviews
Love this game, we’ve been playing it like every day for a month. Im kind of in the end game now which means the progress is a bit slower than before, but honestly thats probably good for us lol. We love that it doesnt have any ads or in-app purchases! So satisfying. Thanks for making this game! Feedback: we would love if we could upgrade the tree (with water and sunlight) and the scavengers a bit more in the endgame phase (once we’ve finished the game).
Its so relaxing, no ads or flashes in your face. No trying to sell in app purchases. Just a great game with chill music. We turned off the sound fx have only the music playing so we would recommend that if the clicking sounds get annoying.
One of the best idle games we’ve played. Definitely more of a slow burn than most. The art style is simple and refreshing with nice use of color. Tap registration on moving items (fish, spiders, etc.) is very poor and Ill often have to tap the same thing multiple times (and sometimes still miss it, you dont have much time). This stands out as being the only frustrating thing here. Otherwise we really like it!
So this game is pretty great all around, but it gets the clicking very wrong. There’s a button to click to get acorns (your main currency), and it does some very wrong things with it. It doesn’t register clicks as fast as you can tap it. There’s apparently a cap to how fast they want you to click and collect acorns. Dumb, but it would be acceptable IF clicking too fast didn’t also cause the game to not recognize the majority of your clicks (98%… It’s almost as good as not clicking at all). You will collect MORE acorns by tapping slower. This might sound like a good thing, but the problem is that there’s no good indication of where the line is between "optimal collection speed" and "oops you’re going too fast so we’re only registering one click every few seconds". We have to go way slower than we need to just to make sure we don’t cross that line. Either they need to show an "acorns per second" thing so you can tell when you’re going too fast that guess from 500aps to 25aps, or preferably, they need to reprogram it so that it can register every click – even if they cap the collection speed, but having it be where clicking too fast is as good as not clicking at all is really bad. Five stars if they fix that.
The game is fun, but we dont accrue acorns when the app is in the background. What am we missing?
We really, really want to like this game. Unfortunately the progression system is way too slow to be enjoyable.
We like the theme and aesthetics. The game requires too much interaction though. No offline progress until several hours of play. Not truly idle.
Idle? Sure. Little to do other than watch long timers count down? Sure. Meh.
Just wanted to report that the tree disappeared. Only acorns showing, but no tree.
Our tree keeps disappearing so you only see the sky color and acorns… We tried to uninstall and reinstall which fixed the tree but lost our progress. If we’re collecting acorns from the tree we should always be able to see the tree..
Theres a game breaking bug. After you have bought the 3 feathers, the bat doesnt recognize that youve bought them. This doesnt let you progress in the game.
We were excited for the big new update, but unfortunately we havent been able to play any of it, instead getting the message Here is our text field, if you are seeing this we probably have an error. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update.
Love this game and play it daily. Have recommended it to several people who love it too. There is a (visual only?) glitch of a present on the Benny screen that says "button" next to it. That doesn’t seem right. ;) Every so often on our iPhone 12 Max Pro, the game comes to an absolute crawl. We tap anything and it takes a long time (5-10 seconds?) for the game to respond. Nothing else seems to be experiencing this on our phone when this slow down happens, so we think it is the game. Restarting the game doesn’t fix it. Restarting the phone does fix, but that’s no bueno.
Our favorite idle game and we’ve played nearly every one on the AppStore. The pacing is perfect and the aesthetic is charming. Best $2 we’ve spent on any app.
We havent realized how satisfying it can be actually having to play a mobile game and not feeling at a disadvantage because theres some in app purchase that if we just used we could speed up our progress that much faster. Having no way but to progress through the game gives you such a feeling of accomplishment. Despite this being just an idle clicker it has brought us more satisfaction than most games with much more content that contain in app purchases. On one note there is one small bug we have found when using the swipe function to change menus if done so on the shake acorns button the button remains pressed regardless of player interaction. Id assume this isnt an intended feature. Other than that this game is great and definitely worth those 2 dollars.
Our eyes burn and strain easily we cant play the game for longer than 10 mins.
We have absolutely no problems with this game!!! Worth the price!!
First off, we love the game. We enjoy the concept and everything involved. Our biggest quarrels are the pacing after you start buying land. Introducing time skips is great, but 20 hours is a bit much in our opinion. Our other quarrel is the navigation is extremely tedious. We feel it could be condensed down to make it easier. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes progressions is painfully slow though.
This game is pretty good, but its just like every idle game theres nothing new or special about this one.
Our zoom isnt on and Im still zoomed in overall good game.
Im still fairly early in to the game and it feels like an idle game with training wheels. The upgrades for the first screen max out before it ever feels like your getting a satisfying amount of resource generation. Even if it expands later in the game, time gates are the worst mechanic found in idle games and it seems like that it the only gimmick this game chose to utilize. Minimal content that just takes ages to get through doesnt make for a satisfying experience. Ill update as we progress but so far Im not impressed.
Even though it says so in the app info and didnt mention it until after we paid and downloaded it on said device? Probably should fix your app description.
Was hit with 6 and 12 hour time walls at very start. Not much explanation of what to do. Ill try it for a little bit more and see if it gets better.
We love this game and the concept of no adds or in app purchases! However, our game will not collect acorns while we are away. Is this supposed to happen?
Nice minimalist design and good gameplay. We think theres a little too slow of a curve around the time you need to unlock the cabin and start cooking fish, and the mini games sometimes pay out way way too little at the point in the game we are where Im cooking our first fish, by by and large the game is good. And since its premium you know that nothing about the game is meant to trick you into spending cash on speeding up time. If you like idle games, this is a great purchase.
We applaud this developer for doing everything right. The design and concept are really cool, the gameplay is enjoyable, perfect for when you have a little time here and there, and the fun stickers are a nice bonus. So many games are designed like dungeon/fantasy, we way prefer this fun nature design you created instead! So engaging! We also super appreciate that there are no ads, IAP or data collection, and that the file size is small. Its also great on battery life. Thank you so much for doing this right. We wish you success and highly recommend this game to those considering it, its one of the best incremental-idle games out there.
We love it, every aspect we think is very appealing and it keeps us wanting to play more and more checking up on our lil acorn farm, though if we had to pick one thing to complain about its the Buy Water Tree and Buy Scavenger in blue text. They both overlap the little icons and maybe its just us but it doesnt seem like it fits that menu all too well but literally everything else we love, we hope the developers keep updating and working on this one. Solid dolla ninety nine spent.
Great game, very satisfying and exactly what we wanted out of an idle.
Loving the game so so much. It was well worth the asking price and Im already hooked. Our biggest issue with the game is the fact that it doesnt seem to support iCloud backup. Please implement iCloud backup so we can keep our game save when we switch to a new phone. This would also allow people to switch back and forth between their phone and iPad.
Its cute, addictive, and has zero micro-transactions. We love it.
UI is squished and some elements cannot be reached.
This game moves incredibly slow.
We installed the game, played it for about 30 minutes, didnt think it was exceptionally fun and that it had to many ads, so we uninstalled it. Not once did we agree to make an in-app purchase. A day or two after we uninstalled it, we received a charge from this game that we never agreed to, saw any notice of, or was made aware that it would happen. We have contacted Apple support for a refund, and advise against installing a game that charges your account after youve uninstalled the game and without making a single purchase of your own volition.
We read the reviews on bugs of no offline progress. Did not believe it at first. Downloaded the game, played some, got 18 scavengers and 7 food, which should auto generate some acorns. Went to sleep with 12k ish acorns, wake up next morning, open app, still at exactly the same acorns.. IPhone 8, iOS 14.7.1, latest game version.
A casual idle game with a charming style and a lot of potential. The pace may seem slow, but we feel it works. The game is less about micromanagement and more just checking in on your acorns every so often and steadily unlocking new content. Some aspects are a bit sparse though and Id love to see more late game content included. But the developer seems to be quite active and engaged with player feedback. What we’ve seen about planned updates looks very promising. We easily see this being considered a classic idle game within time.
So we’ve played this game for a few weeks now, unlocked some real late game stuff and gotten to the point where Im just waiting for timers, like most idlers. While we wait we find myself we actively avoiding the small stuff like chili roasting, fishing, and even sometimes planting trees because every action takes FOREVER to perform. Fishing takes way too long to reset and start, chili cooking is obnoxiously long in chilis resetting, and planting trees has so many menu presses its frustrating. This game could be a lot more fun but its held back by making us not want to play because everything takes way too long.
Never we really played an idol game before, but this one was a lot of fun. Building out each of the different levels to the max, seeing what new things pop up, and basically just having fun while doing nothing. Pure bliss! Great job on the game!
Its an idle game that doesnt idle. If the app isnt actually open you dont get acorns from your scavengers.
This game is a ton of fun! It has many cool things to upgrade and unlock which keeps us engaged and wanting to play for more. Im glad that clicker games are not dead, and this game gives us hope for the future of clicker/idle games!
Fun game! Can be active or idle. Lots of things to unlock as you go along.
We got bored of 5 hour long waiting periods coming one after the other so we messed with our system clock. Now we have negative acorns.
Only 4 star right now till maybe we unlock more or it gets more content however the way it is now is pretty amazing. Usually idle games like these have optional purchases that speed the game up…. Yea nah nothing of the sort here its literally a pure idle game….. If your of the type like us who enjoys just checking up on a game in the evening after work or what have you and just tap a few things or if Im feeling like it be a bit active. Cant wait to see what else is in store if anything at all. Otherwise hope you whose reading this enjoys the game!
While this is an interesting game there is limited offline progress of 1 hour. Having to open the game once an hour to maximize playtime gets old quick.
