Tips for playing
- When the game progress slows down, use Focus (Prestige)

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
A lot of fun in its genre as well, in its own league. Thank you.
The game is fun. It has no IAPs. The ads are controlled by you, the player. What more could you ask for.
Game is great so far and no annoying forced ads! This is exactly how games should work, stellar job.
We think u should add a way to pay to remove ads and add random enemies would make the game fun/better a bit for us at least great game so far tho.
We have really grown to love this game! So satisfying to keep clicking :) One note to the developer: we would not mind paying for the game to be able to skip ads that offer boosts. Like a no ads cost, that makes us be able to still get the boosts but not have to watch the ads. The reason Im asking for this option is because our autistic 7 year old loves to click around in this game, and the ads are long and we have to click through them so our son can continue playing.
So, normally we dont write reviews, and Ive played this as a time killer on and off for a few years. Then today it got an update that completely caught us off guard but it has improved the game and was a nice surprise to see it wasnt abandoned! If you want a good time killer to play when you got a few minutes, its a good game.
The game could use some better effects or make the majority of spells have visual effects cause it gets a bit boring after a while. Overall a solid clicker game tho, props to the devs for making a good mobile game, they aren't hardly any others.
The ads are optional, no cash shop. We enjoy this game so much thanks to those two reasons.
Bad game because we play it instead of sleeping and we go to work tired we actually lay really appreciate this and we hope more similar games come out. Thank you.
This is hands down the best idle game on the app store. Sure, its a little old school, but that just adds to its charm. We never get bored with this game. Theres always more to discover.
First of all, the fact that you dont HAVE to watch ads, but worth the few seconds to do so is awesome. We dont generally give reviews, and mostly because the game can be amazing but its got a paywall or constant ads and we delete the thing and move on. This one, Ive been messing with all day. Only missing a help menu, as Im still confused about a few things but Ill figure it out. Anyone that likes idle games for picking up on break or lunch or just when having idle time, this is definitely worth checking out. Many other games could learn from the way the developers put the ads out there on this game. Kudos to the development team here.
Best game Ive played for our phone in a good decade.
Optional advertisements, no in app purchases, and great play dynamics.
Honestly Ive played this game since we were 8 and we didnt know its name and now we re-downloaded it and its still as wholesome as ever, it is good for playing in long rides, great sfx, mid rate vfx but its very VERY good.
We have an Iphone 14+ unable to see the magic stat on the top screen menu. We slide the app up to see the stat amount simple and sweet.
Lots to upgrade and items can be leveled strategically. No pay to win aspects, easy on the ads with no required viewing. The only thing missing is more content as after a few hours it can get a little repetitive. Maybe give the option to hire apprentices that auto click for you or auto level up the cheapest skill or raise the rates for flying orbs, maybe make them stay after regression but they only stick to a specific orb type. Maybe a side mode you can tame monsters to follow you who you can send off on missions for more item upgrade materials or other stuff. Lots of potential. Would like to see this game grow.
So refreshing to play a game uninterrupted. Blasting through levels and enjoying ourselves during breaks at work. We swear Ill give anything for more games to follow this example.
While this game isnt perfect, we do appreciate no in-app ads(unless you purposely ask to watch them for a bonus) and that deserves 5 stars.
No forced ads! Thats the first and most important thing we will say. Most developers today seem to not be aware how much people hate forced ads. Or worse, they dont care. Our favorite genre of mobile games is idle/incremental/clicker, but the first time a game forces us to watch an ad, we delete it. Games like this one, that dont force us to watch ads, Ill watch lots of ads because its our choice. This developer got it right, and Im sure they will earn plenty from us.
Optional ads, unlimited play all without paying a cent. If idle games are your thing and youre not trying to be inundated with ads or monthly subscription style play then this is your game.
If you like idle games and are sick of ads, youve got to give this one a go. Its so refreshing to be able to choose if you want to watch ads for specific rewards or just skip them. And they arent game changers, neither is the game pay2win. The gameplay is appealing, the visuals and sound quality are great, and the pacing is excellent.
This is it! The best idle game ever. Not a single ad unless you WANT one. We had this idea for a game but never got around to making one, a few ideas we had for ours that we recommend: 1. A shop where you get get bundles and things, however theyre all free! It is fun to get cool boosts in other idle games, but you always have to pay for them, and a ridiculous price at that. With this implemented, a shop that is completely ad free and cost less, we would add a patron or PayPal donation in the settings and request that people pay what they want/can and that way you can still profit! 2. We love the story behind the game, little details like that make games so much more enjoyable and reading the orbs each level up is fun! Keep the story going!! 3. Maybe develop a weekly event world, we dont know if that would or would not be liked by the popular vote, so maybe only test this and see how it works! Best regards, Idle Wizard Fan.
Lovely little idler, no major setbacks, no ads unless you want them. Will update later if we come across anything painstaking, but we enjoy it and the music very much.
Super cool game but please please update the game so phones with notches don't have some of the UI blocked.
Honestly shocked that it isnt a game that bombards you with ads and in app purchases. It does have ads to get boosts but one, what you get is definitely worth the 30 seconds, and two, you can choose to just not watch the ad and it doesnt throw you into a secondary ad to cover you not watching the original.
It is so refreshing to play a game that doesnt force ads to pop up every ten seconds. We look forward to playing many of the games you develop Rene.
We wish more mobile games were like this.
100% Optional ads no in app purchases.
Finally a videogame developer that cares about your experience playing their game. This app makes us feel like im back in 2009 playing REAL games again, games that werent made for the sole purpose of scamming players through micro transactions. First game in 10 years that actually deserves a triple A title.
This is an entertaining game application. Graphics are well designed, sounds and music are pleasant, and it is easy to play.
Its just a fun and simple idle game, where ads arent forced at all and actually give good rewards. There is lots to do and upgrade, and its completely free so go give it a try.
The game is great! Only thing we have a problem with is that we cant see the charge. We are using an iPhone 13 and the camera cutout blocks the number. We can still see it if we suspend the app though.
So far ive only had it for a few hours and its still fun, usually with games like these they get boring after about 10 minutes of playing and you're constantly bombarded with ads but this is the opposite. It's fun to play and and its nice to be able to chose if we want to see an ad or not. One more game for our "favorite games" folder.
5 stars for actually being a good idle game with no pop up ads or fake promises. Bravo, dev, bravo.
Fun idle game! The progression is familiar (think Egg Inc) but unique, and the business model is very user friendly, with the only ads being optional for rewards. We suggest a few important features be added through updates: -Notch support – please slide down the upper menu a little bit! Orb charges are completely covered by the notch on our iPhone X -A menu for viewing stats – power generation, generation speed, max overcharge, overcharge per shot, etc. We like stat menus in idle games because they help us target weak spots in production, and just generally know what is going on. -An option to buy the game to make all optional ad rewards be claimable without watching an ad. Whatever you think is reasonable, probably based on your average ad income per user. Im always happy to pay in the realm of $5 for this, maybe more. Thank you.
We wont lie, when we saw this game, we had expected there to be a bunch of ads. So when we read some other reviews saying there werent any, we were pretty excited. All ads are clearly identifiable. Also, you get rewarded, not just with a small amount of in game currency, but when you watch a specific amount of ads (5) you get another reward! This game is a lot of fun and Im personally addicted.
Great game. Maybe have an option where if you click certain icons, it gives to a description on what they do. We dont understand the blue orbs next to the item purchasing resource.
Hi, we played lots of idle games and rarely write reviews. This game was made without in game purchases being needed and thats amazing! Please try it out, rate and review as well. Only been playing for about an hour and can already see the differences between this and other idle games that have pay walls.
Just as promised. No ads, no in app purchases. Very progressive. We like it a lot.
.. For not forcing IAPs or ads on players. If we had any suggestions, itd be a button to automatically upgrade the cheapest option getting lost in the menus isnt how we like playing but we understand some people prefer having to make those decisions themselves :) Otherwise good stuff. Cant wait to see how it evolves in later game.
We really like the game, but we dont know how you summon creatures, could the developers please explain this.
Absolutely love this game. Lots of fun and the fact that there arent ads unless you choose to watch them is beyond amazing and never found anymore 10 out of 10.
We thought good games stopped being made for iOS long ago, when we started seeing the shift from .99 cent games to $2-$5 for a game and .99 cent to remove ads to $10.00 to remove ads we figured Id never see anything like this again. This game is excellent. We have no complaints. The transparency in ad opportunities in this game is so refreshing.
Its a slow way to waste a little time.
This game is very fun, a satisfying idle/clicker experience. Created for the player with no forced ads or microtransactions. Best game in the genre we have discovered in a wizards age.
No forced ads, constant feeling of growth, and any ads you do watch bring massive value for your time. Theres nothing with chance and no pressure to buy any in app purchases. This game does the idle game formula right. Theres only one thing that could be fixed The number of charges cant be seen on iPhone 11 because of the camera over the screen. So if it was just a little bit lower it could be seen. Thank you Rene for your great work in making this game and we hope it brings you joy and profit.
You can use occasional ad prompts for boosts, but theyre not necessary. Game has great progression and graphics so far. Reminds us of the top Kongregate games before that site went mostly defunct. Seriously recommended.
Great design decisions, although it would be nice to have an option to buy the ads out.
First off, we want to commend the complete lack of cash grabs and paywalls and monetary purchases. Beautiful. Truly. To the players on iPhone like ourselves waiting for the devs to add notch support, if you slide up from the bottom, as though to enter app select, or whatever its called, where you can close apps, or switch back and forth. Just slide up a little bit, and it gives you a look at your blue orb count. A little annoying, but gives you that little bit of info.
Ok so we downloaded this game thinking itd be a quirky wizard incremental, but we were quickly surprised with the depth, quality, and immersion. There is careful thought in the design of the gameplay here. The biggest point for us here is that the ads arent randomly shoved down your throat, theyre all optional (portal pops up, your choice to tap it, and you choose the rewards you want from the ad)! There are also bonus rewards/milestones for how many ads you decide to watch. We think the best part though is that the ads are tied into the lore, they dont break the immersion. When a game is handled this way, it is so refreshing.
