The Developer Says...

Element Idle is a free-to-play idle/clicker game where you click a central atom to generate Particles — the core currency of your scientific empire.

Spend your Particles on a sprawling skill tree with three distinct paths:

⚡ Proton Path — Maximize your click power with crits, bursts, and chain reactions

💤 Neutron Path — Automate your progress with passive generation, auto-clickers, and offline earnings

🔵 Electron Path — Build long-term power through the Prestige system

When you've accumulated enough Particles, Prestige — your atom evolves into the next element on the periodic table, resetting your run but granting permanent bonuses that make every future run stronger.

Features:

- 118 elements to unlock on a real periodic table layout

- 51 skill tree nodes across 3 branching paths

- Prestige system with permanent element bonuses

- Offline earnings — progress even when you're away

- 15 Steam achievements

- Procedurally generated sound effects

- Satisfying click feedback and prestige animations

How far through the periodic table can you get?
