What the heck is an idle game?
I’m asking here because I tried google and the other subs scare me. What does it mean? Why would you play a game that is….. idle? I don’t get it.

I have to have a treatment this week that will put me out of action for a while. Need a game. I want something kinda scary with a good story. I love Last of us 1 and 2. Tomb raider. All the uncharted games. I looked up that plague one and people were saying it was boring. I have ADHD so that’s probably not gonna work lol. What should I play??
I am still getting through all the apps and working them out and leaving feedback and reviews. I’m trying to take my time and properly use them so I haven’t gotten through them all yet so if you haven’t heard back from me yet, you will soon.
I have a few general things to say. Firstly, sometimes it is not clear straight away what the app or game does or who it is for. I think it’s really important that you get that across as quickly as possible. I’m not an app developer but I have worked in business development and in the start up world and this is a really key thing that you need to get right. Make sure that you can explain it in a couple of words and in a way that anyone could understand. Some of the apps are quite niche and that’s ok, I presume your audience/target market would understand the terms you are using but don’t always assume that.
The other thing is that features don’t sell products. Your core product (app or game or whatever) must be able to solve the pain point on its own and you must demonstrate this in your marketing. Your market need to understand straight away and think oh! Yes this is what I need to fix whatever their issue is. If it doesn’t, or if it’s not communicated clearly, you will struggle. Always keep in the front of your mind: pain point - solution. That’s it. The whole thing. Remind them of their pain, present your solution. Not the features, the core premise of your app. The value proposition.
For me it was hard to test some of these apps because I am not your target market so I have just tried to give some general feedback. I would suggest finding some people in your target market and getting their feedback so that you have a clearer understanding of whether your idea is landing or not.
Hey I will review the first 10 people who comment with their app below. I will promise to: open the app a couple of times per week, really check/use it and figure out what it does, leave a positive review and not delete the app for at least a few months. In exchange I would like to ask that I can send you a message so we can stay in touch and when my own app is ready ask for you to please download and review for me. I have an iPhone so iOS is best but if your app works on a tablet I also have a Samsung galaxy tab if you’re android only. Cheers.
I had no idea you were all here just talking about my favourite game ever! When did you first play it and how many times have you finished them all? I was 28 or so when I played Drake's Fortune (46 now!!!). Man how time flies..... I have played them all through 5 times. Enjoy it every single time.
