Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

82/100

Idle Guy is an addictive life simulator that perfectly captures the 'rags to riches' fantasy. You start as an unemployed man with nothing but a hunger bar to manage, and the journey from the street to the World Bank presidency is surprisingly detailed. The game balances various stats—health, happiness, and hunger—meaning you can't just grind for money; you have to live a balanced virtual life.

The 'idle' mechanics are well-implemented, allowing you to earn while away, but the active gameplay is where the strategy lies. Choosing when to invest in education, when to play the stock market, and when to spend on luxury items like cars or a family creates a compelling loop. It’s a simulation that offers a lot of agency, letting you decide if you'll be a corporate tycoon or a lucky casino winner.

I died :( no matter what
Sat Oct 12 2024 Mzlexuslove

I grinded on this game didn’t spend any money, just watched ALOT of ads to get by. Towards the end no matter what I did the ads couldn’t save me because all of the sudden you start going into negative balance that keeps adding up no matter what I tried to do. I reached job level 57 I believe around there when I died, there were times I would watch ads to rank up my job to make more money to get out of the negatives but even ranking up a few times It still constantly racked up the ongoing negative balance. Let’s just say I was towards the end but was forced to die because every time you level up towards the end the more costs is taken out of your balance. I reached career level 57 around there and making $200k a month but my monthly cost was over $300k a month, that kept on racking up in the negatives, because I leveled up since it’s a task, but died bc I leveled up, I had to get a chopper that cost atleast 3mil while racking up the negative balance, so no money to spend on my health to live, even when I watched ads it couldn’t save me. In the end I made it so far but got screwed, died, and the game restarted from the beginning. Game was fun, but I’m sad I lost everything because I died. I guess nothing left to do besides uninstall the game because I am not starting all over again because I died.

Mehhh

The game is entertaining for a day or so until you figure out the nature of the game. I made millions within the first two days and didn’t even need to do the stupid upgrades. The formula of the game is to keep you on a runaway train but once you realize you don’t need to follow the game path they start shorting you on the rewards, not cool. You either get spoon fed the plot and never get out of poverty or you master the game early like I did and make millions with in the first couple of days. And there is not enough interaction with your significant other to keep it at least a little entertaining who is just another prop to get you to spend money. Hint: once you get to play roulette always bet one token on black and the other on red, you can’t lose. The overall composition is geared toward 12 yr olds that never took courses in economics. If you are older than that the game is very poor. Good premise but bad follow through. I deleted the game on my fourth day because it was’t worth the memory space on my iPad. To the developers: figure out your audience and either make it adult oriented or sesame street. You can’t mix both and expect good results. It becomes pointless really quickly. I think it has a high rating because they solicit you to rate the game constantly in the first couple of sessions when you are broke, which was kinda entertaining. Good for a minute but not compelling enough to keep you engaged more than a few times playing.

Super Terrible Glitch
Sat Feb 18 2023 Camacho1420

I love this game, ever since I downloaded this game and it’s been fun but it has a game changing glitch. So I am at a spot where I have to buy the “Premium Car” which is 75k. I have to use a side job to get 4K per like 2 minutes but that is fine. It gets really irritating towards the end. About five minutes ago I got to 73k, I need one more month to have enough. Then suddenly- blank. I get teleported out of the app. The first time this happened I was just confused and went back into the game. I got into the game and realized something, it was ALL gone. I was right back to the amount of money I had when I joined the game, 15k. This has happened twice and it makes me wanna pull my hair out. In total I’ve wasted around 1 and a half hours just sitting on the couch, and no the wait to get to 73k WAS NOT fun. I have good attention span but it doesn’t mean the wait was fun. The weird thing is, EVERYTHING was back to where it was. My age, happiness, health, and like I said, money. I don’t know if this is a glitch with the game or Apple, but this is getting on my last nerve. I know these game developers won’t probably see this, or see it in time, but it’s getting super freaking annoying and I recommend fixing it to save a couple thousands of players.

beyond brain rot… like seriously…

Where do I even begin? Let’s start with my first interaction with this joke of a “game”: the advertisements. the ads for this game are making you think this is a game where you can pick choices and have reactions… WRONG. This is an ad harvesting “game” that basically forces you to watch ads to win lol… this technique is arguably worse than pay to win. For example… you get the choice to rob a bank (watch an ad to choose) or work as a cashier. If you don’t choose to watch the ad and rob the bank, you will LOSE items and opportunities. But don’t worry because you can watch an ad to get a second chance… so… let’s get this clear… you will watch an ad to save your game (which takes days btw; they will end your game and u will lose everything and have to restart) AND watch ANOTHER ad to rob the bank then play for like 2 minutes (these next 2 minutes are the closest thing to calling this a game) then you will meet another ad wall choice that forces you to watch the ad or lose, essentially. Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room… this game is written so trashy… (think 50 yr pervert in a trailer) everything is so raunchy and cheap like it’s shockingly brain rot… within 5 minutes of downloading your first girlfriend is a blow-up doll. Seriously lol? You don’t have the choice to be respectful, you literally have to be a trashy, perverted bum…The whole story is so predictable and so sexual… to sum it up, it’s like Bitlife (another ad harvesting; watch ads = win “game”) but if Bitlife was animated and on a $100 budget…

This game is cool…. But…

NAH! It’s THAT cool and all but I’m only going to say this, not to seem hypocritical and stuff but I fear the game, lacks, you guessed it, COON UPS! I need to be real honest, the game sort of in a way is based on “coon ups,” (like a form of upgrading but from a more specific perspective) and also I do not feel that I can say what I did without mentioning that! Now, “coon ups!” Are a type of upgrade that is clandestine in nature and involves people from virtually all demographics sort of in large numbers, kind of like, “blending in,” as to be like coon hunters! You find out they be in line for this ideal type of service, food bank Distrubution, or like, free blankets or perhaps an opening of a new store, well this type of idea only when they would receive usually say for instance a free burger, they would get a burger and also a “coon up,” which can be a rather large sum of “secretly expected” cash or other valuable item or surprise gift of much value compared to the donated goods and surplus items which are given away as well alongside the “coon ups,” being the notoriously “clandestine” reasoning for the seemingly random “pop up” tent, drive up or walk up service of some regular looking type. So that would be cool to get those into the game I think!!

Let down

Pictures are misleading, ads are all over this game. You can pay to remove some of them but you’ll still get pop ups for in game purchases. There’s no idle mechanics in the game as after 5-10 minutes it’ll pop one of those ads on the screen or an in game “event” might pop up saying how something effected your health or happiness. Issue is that these pop ups stop time completely so you just stop making money right then and there. Play long enough and you’ll hit a point where you think you’re gonna die. Except it seems you can’t die? I never paid for any life extension pills or immunity or whatever. It just pops up an ambulance and 10 seconds later nothing happens. you’re just stuck on that screen with an option to pay for another year (in game money) or watch and ad for another year added. I was hoping i’d have some sort of new life to live or like a sort of prestige to make it to the trillion dollar in game real estate. Game definitely needs more work towards but i’m sure they get enough money as is so why would they. Also can’t do a new game with the settings menu, seems i’m stuck wishing for nothing.

Nice Storyline, Massive ad Trap
Tue Jul 12 2022 Halgazzz

i love the storyline and the process of progressing throughout the story, but let me tell you, the developers of this game had to be makin BANK with the amount of ads i HAD to watch to get through the story. you MUST like you actually HAVE to watch ads to get through the game, if you don’t, you lose everything and start over again. at some point you’ll be able to bring in a profit of like 1-3k a month if you’re smart, but most of the time you’re living while losing anywhere from 1k-150k a month. which again, forces you to watch ads so you don’t lose what you worked for. how can they expect you to buy an 8 million dollar plane when your salary is like 50-75k? by watching an unbelievable amount of ads. The main goal is to become the head of the world bank, but once you get there, nothing happens. the game just continues i guess. so i’m just supposed to sit there and stare at the screen until my character dies ig. just disappointed the story led to nothingness. however i’m interested in what the stock market will bring to this game. should be interesting but i’m uninstalling. i must’ve given them about 1k in ads alone lol. so disappointed.

Starts off well. But bugs make it unplayable

Starting out on the good: the game is fun, it's easy to progress through and I think it stands out amongst other idle games with different career paths and options, but also opportunities to redeem yourself if you fail. But the big issue I have consistently had since I started was that after you play for a bit, you'll complete a task and then you get the little scrolling circle that indicates that the game is processing or loading, except that it gets stuck "processing" and you are unable to move forward with the game. The only fix is restart your phone, and you lose your progress and/or reward for performing the action or watching the ad. At first I thought it was possibly an issue with my phone's connectivity or Wi-Fi, but I ruled that out. This issue would happen occasionally when I first started playing, but I noticed as I progressed through the levels that it was happening more frequently. eventually it was happening every time I won money at the casino or "lucky game", tried to take the quiz to graduate from schooling, or whenever a character appeared to offer a choice for a career upgrade or change. These issues rendered the game unplayable.
