Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We wanna see more different locations and different scientists with different abilities and More costumes For the worker and scientist.
Ads seem entirely optional for boosts, we feel like they are not intrusive to flow of gameplay at all.
It takes a little bit of effort to learn with no hints on how to play but once you figure it out its a pretty fun game to play looking forward to future updates.
Did in app purchase for 14.99 Charged us 59.98.
Love the game look forward to more events to come have played the Christmas one a few times now.
We havent once been forced to watch an advertisement we dont want to and havent had popups to purchase anything.
Play it forget about it play it again and again this game is soo simple any good for everyone.
This game is a complete steal if you ask us. Its a fun tycoon game with no annoying popup ads, very entertaining and personally we love how its pixelated but thats just us. Its not pay to win you simply play at your own pace and earn better rewards and achievements.
This is an amazing game made by a solo dev who we can tell put a lot of time into this. We cant remember seeing any ads. Just play it.
Honestly the game gets a little boring after awhile. It's really not a bad game tho. We've prestige's a few times and it really don't feel like you get to much out of the game for doing good and moving forward. The purple vial stuff is just gone and all the upgrades you have are gone when prestiging. Would be cool to use the vials you saved up or the money you have saved up and use that to get more prestige points.
Fun game so far, but the onboarding experience could be improved. There are a lot of buttons with minimal labeling or guidance as to what does what, or why you would want to do something. Also, the daily trivia bugged it for us. We answered the first question and got the first reward, but then the same question stayed on screen and we couldnt press any answer so our time ran out and we missed out on the other 2 rewards.
Game is good for what it is, but ads have never produced a bonus for us ever.
The art style, the gameplay, the music, its all just perfect. Looking forward to new content.
This game is an absolute hidden gem, and that is an absolute understatement. Seeing how unfamiliar people are with this game is astounding. We saw ads on TikTok and YouTube shorts, so we thought eh why not. We havent seen a more enjoyable mobile game in YEARS. If we didnt have bills to take care of we would support the developers so much more.
For one thing NO FORCED ADS, we love that. We love the style and the soundtrack, ive already sunk a lot a time into it, very good and hope to see more content.
Ive been upgrading it (our research power) but it has stayed at 1K while our cap is now 2.64KW.
We love the game. Ive been addicted to it for quite some time now. Now that Im maxed out, Im looking for an update with new milestones, upgrades, and some late game balancing Basically impossible to hit final milestone in crank town. We can make WAY more prestige points in costa do villagio much easier than crank town. Please give us something in the skill tree to make more money.
Saw this game advertised on Facebook one day. So we gave it a shot. Its definitely one of the better idle games Ive played in a long time. There are ads. But we never feel bombarded by them. Infact, Ive never had one interrupt our game play. Which we really appreciate. Im definitely planning on purchasing one of the packs in the game. Which says a lot about how we feel about this game. We almost never spend money on a Cell phone game.
This game does a good job at not making you sit through ads on ads on ads. Love it.
This is a fun game to pass the time. We really like the art style(keep the game running at 30fps in settings, works very well with the aesthetic). Only piece of advice we would give is for the daily trivia mini game, when you get a wrong answer, the game should give you the correct answer afterwards so you can learn, right now it just buzzes incorrect.
We kept getting ads before we bought anything. Could get the 1.5x bonus. But after we bought the no ads shop item, that option remains grayed out and it never worked again. Since we dont have ads that item should be useable if ads can connect or not.
Even after draining all our crank juice we just cant stop cranking it.
We really enjoy this game but wondering if the developers would add more themed islands or just more to do. Like if the game could build all the way to the modern age with technology that would be really cool.
Fun game!!! When are you all going to add the nuclear power.
Ive already expressed our interest and love for the game in a previous review, but we noticed something that we thought could be fixed at one point: Research goes faster on 60fps than 30fps. Noticeably faster. Could they be equivalent in a later update.
Why doesnt the Christmas world have a skill tree? Seems like you upgrade your regular town like crazy and then you unlock this one and everything is already unlocked from the previous town.
Latest update broke us getting the options for ads because we didnt consent to extra data storage.
Great game. We love the quiz and appreciate the additional updates to add more power related questions. Thank you so much.
Creator is very active on discord about updates and helping with bugs and crashes.
Ever since the ours listed it wont let us watch the ads to double our income. Was really counting on that ever since we upgraded to never running out of crack juice.
Cool little game to blow some minutes here and there. But tell us why the trivia questions have a limited amount. Who cares if we know all the questions why are you telling us that and why are you not letting us earn rewards for a system we had to purchase with ingame currency. Just make another game if you want money that bad you literally have the formula right here to do it.
We dont normally leave reviews. Very few games keep our interest for long enough to justify it. We use mobile games as a cheap source of dopamine, then we move on quickly. Ive been through a lot of idle games since their gameplay loop requires minimal brainpower, so Ive seen a lot. Most idle games are carbon copies of each other, with only slight differences going all the way back to the original Cookie Clicker. To be fair to the genre, theres only so far you can stretch the idea. This one is the most creative spin on it we have seen. The basic idea of an idle game was rewritten from the ground up. Progressing does more than just make numbers go up faster, it also adds more elements to the gameplay. We also appreciate the fact that it is comparatively short. Its likely to continue expanding as the game is developed further, but right now you can finish the game entirely in about 9 months of daily play, which means their content is dense enough to keep the gameplay interesting as it continues. That also means that some of the content doesnt arrive until after you have played for a bit, so we should tell you that it does get better after a few hours of play. Ads and purchases: it is not only possible but reasonable and easy to play the game without spending a penny or watching a single ad. We watch a lot of ads ourselves because we want to support the creator and progress faster, but you dont have to in order to have fun with the game.
Dont do reviews but so glad you choose not to do obnoxious 30 second ads but keep them short. Only game we watch ads for.
Its a fun game and we really do enjoy it. Our biggest problem is that it actively punishes you for being offline. Your workers need juice to keep working(producing money and research) offline and if you are gone too long, they stop working and everything grinds to a halt. You can increase the offline time, but only in very, very small increments. While Im not opposed to that idea, Ive been playing for almost 2 weeks and we max out at 17 mins of offline time before the game grinds to a halt. So if we dont check in every 20 or so minutes, we lost any kind of forward momentum. As someone who is busy and really only has time to check the game once or twice a day, its too little forward progress while offline to make it fun or worthwhile. And it takes too long to boost offline time to a reasonable amount.
Its a fun little game to just have on while we're gaming on our computer, some times we just sit and play it, but with the money gain being as slow as it is we feel like its missing something. Like maybe a mini game style thing we don't know, also just so the devs know, there is a way to exploit the gain vials of science. If you close the game and reopen it, it fills your vials of science then just doo somethings to get the game to save its current state then close and reopen the game and your science will be full. Love the music too.
Best Idle game by far. Love the trivia, and the game itself is beautiful and addictive! Cant wait to see what else the developers have up their sleeve.
Very addicting idle game, theres one thing that we love. This game doesnt cram ads down your throat. Dont ever change this.
Great simple idle game! Love the designs and the music also the scientist chick we love her design so so much that we would.
Live this game. No ad wall. Laid back and fun. Only complaints: two months in a row we have had to wait for a new update because Im out of Trivia Questions. It wont ask us any more and we need Nobel Prizes. It would also be nice if it showed the correct answer when you guess wrong but it is easy enough to Google afterwards.
We like the game and have been playing for a couple months. Often when we open it the ad to double income wont play. Sometimes we dont receive any of the offline income. Its frustrating because thats where the money is made. We also feel the quizzes are bit too hard. Especially when the ads arent working and we cant get a second chance.
Not really a lot of content as of now. Theres even a weird option to purchase a bunch of Nobels with real money but there doesnt seem to be any use for them after using 10. So why can we buy 50 for $9.
We really wanted to like this game. It has great aesthetics, but the ceiling is far too low and the gameplay has been artificially extended. Scaling is really funny to offset the fact that there just arent many upgrades. Theres just not a lot of content here. The developer stated that this is still work in progress, and it definitely seems like it. Will keep an eye on this title for updates.
This is a good game so far the only we can think it needs is an FAQ we still cant figure out what nobles are for after purchasing both things that use them but all in all its a good game.
Fun game, looking forward to future updates.
Not bad! The music makes it entertaining! Fun and relaxing game. We highly recommend it! Developers: Keep up the good work and add more content.
Been playing for a few days now and this is exactly what we want out of an Idle Game. Great art and music, the 1890s theme is on point, and the gameplay is great! Its both simple and complex at the same time so depending upon how youre feeling you can get really into it, or just let it play itself and relax. 10/10 would recommend for anybody looking to explore a new Idle Game. You wont be disappointed.
We loved the idle part of Cosmos Quest, which focused on human energy production through the ages, and we were deeply disappointed when that game shut down. Similarly, Im absolutely loving Power Inc. So far, and we look forward to the updates to come! Its a straightforward, intuitive idle game, with cute graphics. Though, perhaps most importantly, this game is a beacon of hope in the modern age of mobile adware. We hope you can afford to keep it that way! P.S.: as a physics nerd, we love the daily questions :).
Really enjoying the game. Have hardly been able to stop playing all night. Hoping for more additions or other great games from this clearly skilled solo developer soon.
Having a lot of fun right now. Add more!!! Addicted.
Ngl dude this game is pretty fun to play we have been playing all day.
