You begin with a sapling that must be watered and harvested by hand. The fruit it produces can be merged with fruit of the same tier to create a higher tier and generate more income.
Spend that income to unlock buildings and upgrades that expand your economy. As your colony grows, its small creatures can take on tasks such as collecting and fertilizing fruit, chopping and planting trees, and making machines.
Progress earns currencies used to choose technologies and special upgrades. You can sacrifice a colony to gain access to powerful technologies, then start another run with different choices and upgrade combinations.
Players who enjoy the game often describe it as a cute, relaxed incremental experience, with fruit merging and the growing colony providing satisfying visual progress. Some also like experimenting with different upgrade combinations and strategies between runs. Other reviewers find that progress becomes slow or repetitive, with limited upgrades and lengthy restarts reducing the appeal over time.
Idle Colony is a game about little creatures and big numbers that will make your dopamine go up and your worries go down.
Combine two fruits of the same tier into the next one. 1$, 2$, 4$, 8$... This process generates an exponential amount of money as you make your way up to bigger fruits.
Unlock buildings to uncover always more options to leverage your income. As cash comes in, it goes out, to come back even faster! Improve every aspect of your economy to make the best out of it.
You will start with a sapling that you'll have to manually water and harvest, but soon enough you'll be able to recruit thousands of naïve creatures to assist you in your endeavor. They collect, fertilize, chop down, plant trees, create machines... and they love it!
Now that you've got a wok full of delicious fruits and an army of colonists dedicated to you, it is time to perform the ritual... Sacrifice your colony to access powerful technologies and go even further next time!
Through your progress, you'll earn two unique currencies to spend with care. Find the best strategies by carefully picking your technologies and special upgrades. Your choices will make the difference between millions and quintillions.
