A downloadable game for Android

IdleTale comes up mix of RPG and incremental games.

For all of you who love these two genres, IdleTale was born!

Tap the screen to land an attack - easy, right? Whenever an enemy dies it'll drop resources (Gold) and loot.

Use that gold to start buying upgrades on top of upgrades to generate more gold, make your character stronger and unlock features that will exponentially skyrocket your power, breaking the barrier of the thousands, millions, billions and quintillions.

The unique things about this game are the mechanics involved in the player's progression along the game.

There are skills, talent trees, loot and gear system, dungeons, raids, and even the typical "ascension" system.

Fight bosses, get their loot, buff up and take the next step in your journey!

Playing on PC is a better experience as the game seems to be optimized for autoclickers. Do yourself a favor and play on PC so you can use a proper autoclicker.

As an android game without autoclicker, its boring and tedious. Generally, an idle game will let you idle. Not this one.  You gotta grind and tap just to get the auto attack and upgrades. Then you realize that its nearly worthless so its more tapping. 

The android version is boring and tedious. I'd rather flip burgers at minimum wage than grind through this on mobile. At least working makes money. This makes nothing. And no, I'm not installing another app just to make a game enjoyable. I'd rather choose something more enjoyable.  

Downloaded v0.4.2 and that whole online/offline thing never works for me, either it says offline all the time, or when it does say online when I enter the game it says it encountered some issue and I lose the gains anyway. Everything worked fine before, is this a new system? Is it necessary?

If you haven't noticed until now, it's fixed and works fine now :)

Yesss, thanks! :D

This game is what I had been looking for! The landscapes, the music, the gameplay! It's a lovely gem. And I can see the author takes great care in listening to his community.

Thank you for your words! Hope you keep enjoying it!

I've been trying to get the Venomslicer  from Ashtar Sewers since 0.4 , I have all the items besides that, i one shot everyone in that dungeon and kill the boss in around 6 strikes and I've done it dozens of times in arow and still no Venomslicer ;(

Also is another character unlockable? That option is greyed out for me.

Hello BraveToasterLittle! The Characters menu can be unlocked later in the game, and Special items usually have a 1% drop chance, which will be increased in future updates.

Hmm, the other items usualy came up after a few runs of the dungeon, this one hasn't come up in like two weeks, and at this point and level just running through the dungeon again does nothing for XP and is just running through the motions cause I can't fail it. Imho I'd tie the percentage to the character level so it's a much higher percentage at higher levels, but after all this time it just feels like I've stumbled on a bug.

I can guarantee it's not bugged. Nevertheless, later on the game you'll be able to unlock the Bad Luck Shop, which sells Special Dungeon items in exchange of a currency earned after running Dungeons, similar to the higher drop percentage at higher levels suggestion you had.

IMHO the exp required to next level needs to be toned down.

Or atleast make it so that only 1 energy used per exp get, regardless how many exp you get.

The idea is so that when someone opens the game after their energy is full, they can spend it on 24 dungeon runs of their choice. It should help a bit with the massive TNL jump.


NGL, even with macro to auto enter dungeon and auto tap looping it can be awhile. And that's just from Level 26 to 27


Also, the description for "Assault Machine" sounds kinda misleading. The way it's phrased right now makes people assume that once you learnt it you can press the screen and it will attack like you repeatedly tap, but instead it simply makes the 1 attack per second do 100% damage.

Hello djisamsoe, thank you for your feedback. I will be looking forward to improve the Energy system. The Assault Machine Talent's hold-to-attack feature will be removed in future patches and will be replaced by an Upgrade which will do 2 attacks per second, twice as fast as it is now.

Is my game just busted now or what?

Hello TheBlabLab, did you move any save file and/or your phone ran out of battery while playing? Those are the most common causes for that and they have a solution

Hi! Really liking the game so far. My character is about level 30. I noticed that some dungeons have a "Rare" drop which has now changed to be called a "Special" drop as of today's patch. Is this change significant, or just a change in choice of words? I've been unable to obtain any of these "Rare" items from dungeons so far, so I am wondering if I am just unlucky or if there are hidden conditions to obtaining them.

After 30runs, I got lazy to keep tapping screen, I've set up a macro to auto enter dungeon and auto tap.

The sword from 3rd dungeon (23-26) dropped at 66th run, and every highlighted possible drop from 4th dungeon (25-28) dropped in 6 runs.....

The RNG is a biatch

Is there any way to transfer the save from the playstore apk to this apk, I believe I can't update the playstore apk with this one, so I have to unistall and lose it all :( I am enjoying the game !

Hello fabiosd17! I would like you to invite you to our Discord, there's a video tutorial on how to do it through a PC and another user did a quick guide on how to do it without a PC.

Thanks, I love progression so far. Some elements a bit similar to Idle Slayer but gameplay feels different and more player-friendly (I played for a few hours, so, have no idea what later game looks like). I really love the music, by the way. Game feels quite polished and interesting. Any plans for monetization? Will be sad if game become abandoned.

Upd: condolence regarding google play.

Thank you for your condolence and your words, deely. The game has no plans for monetization at the moment as I'm doing it for pure passion.

Hope you keep enjoying it!

Pretty nice idler. Progress is rather slow as of the moment but it's my first run and that tends to happen in idlers.

Thanks for putting the time into this, can't wait for the steam version!

Thank you for your comment doodwhatsrsly, I'll let you know when it's out! I hope you enjoy the game!

Amazing game, been playing it all day 🤩 Love the 2 hour limit on idle, makes it feel worth coming back to through the day

Thank you for your comment Authvin, I hope you enjoy the game!

This is fun! Thanks for putting in the time to make it.

I noticed that the app connects to the internet. What kind of data does it send to you?

(+2)

Hello November, thank you for your words!

The game retrieves the current real time through the WorldTimeApi's API.

I get sent nothing at all from the app, though in the next update (0.4.0) the Cloud System will be implemented, and I will be sent the saved file of each player (in order to storage them in the cloud), all done through the Unity Save Cloud integrated system. No personal information at all, only the save files.

Cool! Thanks for the reply.

a way to auto attack would be nice.
also screenshake on 2k is too much, feels like my whole monitor falls :D

great demo so far, enjoying it for what it is

Please add a button to turn off the music and sounds, I loved the game , waiting for the full version, don't mind buying the game, release the full game on android also

Thanks for your feedback Louise. The settings screen will be available soon, if you signed up for the Alpha testing you'll see it as soon as it's ready!

This was a lot of fun. Looking forward to the full version. Would purchase on steam. I like how it resizes for a pc screen. Kind of like idle slayer but more of an rpg feel to this.

Thank you for your feedback! It's gonna be completely free, so in case you're interested in the Steam version, I invite you to join our Discord to get notified when it's available to wishlist.

void eyes move way to fast to be able to catch. They zoom across the screen in a tenth of a second so unless you are using an auto clicker spamming, you'll never get one. The shake effect of the forest ogre is seizure inducing and made me want to never play again.

Thanks for your feedback. If possible, I would really appreciate a video where the voideyes are passing by so I can see if there's any problems with them. Never had them fly that fast and maybe it's a bug.
