78/100

Idle Oil Well is a highly satisfying 'number-go-up' simulator that manages to make the complex world of oil drilling feel accessible and addictive. The game excels in its visual feedback; watching your drill bit push deeper into the earth while your 'play money' reserves skyrocket is undeniably rewarding. It’s the perfect game for those who enjoy the idle genre's blend of passive progress and active upgrading. The graphics are clean and the simulation aspects, while simplified for mobile, provide a nice sense of mechanical progression.

The game does rely heavily on ad-based upgrades, which might be a turn-off for some, but for players looking for a long-term project to check in on throughout the day, it offers a solid loop. Managing your rig's efficiency and deciding when to prestige for bigger bonuses keeps the strategy engaging. It’s particularly great for younger players or anyone who wants a low-stress simulation of the mining industry. It’s a classic idle experience—simple, polished, and hard to stop once you start seeing those oil profits roll in.

No, all money earned is 'play money' used strictly for in-game upgrades and entertainment purposes.

This game is to simulate drilling for oil. This like other games that have simulation features with it has nice graphics. You earn “play money” to be used to level up. The simulation is to act as a mining app with oil…there is no way to withdraw out any excess monies into the blockchain so this app is for entertainment purposes only.

Love it but..

The game sometimes is way too generous and the chests, when you open it and claim it, it just pulls up an ad without even clicking a button but it’s still great and thank god not an ad farm!

Terrible game
Fri Jul 19 2024 hudlum oscar14

You can’t play this game for no more than three minutes without an ad popping up every five seconds. This game is also boring. Therefore, it’s getting a one star for me. Maybe if I was able to play more than 10 minutes without an ad, but you can’t it ruins the gaming experience, I just deleted this app. Good luck playing this game and wasting your time watching ads more than playing.

Get in if you have a four-year-old

My little brother love this app. He plays it every single day.

Absolutely no respect for player

Excessive ads. Want to upgrade your rig - ad - every single time. No ads available? Sorry! No upgrade for you. I gave it a shot but I was serious required to watch an ad every few minutes because doing nearly anything requires an ad. Skip this one and find something from a dev that respects you.

The game is cool, but too many ads

I gave this game a four star rating because it has too many ads . I love the game.

Needs sound options, no way to turn off sound.

Need options to mute sounds, I tend to stream movies while playing games

Forced Ads
Wed Aug 21 2024 Notbravesfan

Yes, I know. All free games have forced ads. However this game deceptively provides you “power ups” that do not allow you to make any choice but watch a 30 second ad. Constant pop ups interrupting play, and Ad blocks for any station reset you need to perform. Lame.
