$5.99Idle Colony Grow fruits, grow numbers
Raise a cheerful little colony that waters, harvests and automates its way from a single sapling to absurd sums of money, then reset and do it better.
Is Idle Colony worth it?
Idle Colony is worth it if…
- you want a relaxing incremental game to leave open while you watch something else
- you enjoy finding upgrade combinations that multiply into absurd numbers
- you like the idea of sacrificing your whole colony and doing it all better next time
- you prefer short, self-contained runs over one endless save file
- you have a soft spot for tiny creatures who genuinely enjoy working for you

From one sapling to a wok of fruit
It starts small: one sapling, watered and harvested by hand. Merge two fruits of the same tier and the next one appears, worth twice as much. One dollar, two, four, eight. Soon the trees are dropping fruit that lands in a wok, and the money stops being pocket change.
The little creatures do the rest. Before long you have thousands of them, and your job shifts from watering saplings to steering an economy that feeds itself.
Prestige, synergies and second runs
When your colony is thriving, you perform the ritual: sacrifice it all for powerful technologies, then start over with an edge. Each run plays out differently depending on which technologies and special upgrades you pick from two unique currencies, and finding combinations that multiply together is where the real game lives. The difference between a middling run and a great one is measured in millions versus quintillions.
Because runs are self-contained, you can try a different build each time instead of chasing one fixed path.
