Simple Multipliers

Y'all can see the other reviews already. What they are saying still applies at the time of writing this review. Simple Multipliers is a REALLY idle game. It is extremely slow, painfully so at the start. The basic premise is that you have a bar that fills up (see the photo, its the "Generator" bar). When it fills, you get the amount of points that you see right about it. The bar starts at filling up once per minute. And it gives you 1 point after it fills. You can buy an upgrade for 1.5 points to make it give you more. The upgrade makes it go up to 2 points, so you get 2 points per minute. You can upgrade again for slightly more points, etc etc. This is the first mechanic. The second mechanic, the one that is really the thorn in the side of the game, is the "Converter" (in the photos its the thing to the right, underneath "Multipliers Points"). As you generate points, you can spend them to buy Multiplier Points. You can then spend these multiplier points to buy upgrades that will ma...

Is an amazing idle game, genuinely one of the best I've seen. This game has one issue, one major issue that makes it totally unplayable. If your PC crashes, game progress is lost, not only is it lost its irrecoverably lost. If you blue screen for any reason while the game is open, if your PC freezes and you need to forcefully restart for any reason you're just out of luck and have to restart completely. Emailed the developer about it and he just plugged his ears at me and went lalala doesnt exist, told me to make manual backups of my saves, a ridiculous solution to a ridiculous problem that shouldn't exist. Avoid this game if you value your progress being saved <3

I find the game loop very punishing. The fact that you cannot prestige to gain points without buying an upgrade quickly makes you grind to a halt where you have to wait for days or even weeks to make any meaningful progress even early on in the game.

No way to reset without spending, so have a ton of fun waiting days on end to get to a single prestige as you have to constantly go 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Inch-worming for progress is just terrible. If this were addressed, this could be a fun game.

The game has an excellent concept, but is PAINFULLY SLOW even for an idle game. I am well aware that the entire appeal is that it is supposed to eventually get faster, but the game is so slow that I generally feel as though I won't be able to get to an acceptable speed within the year. If I didn't know any better I'd assume it was a mobile game with in-app purchases to speed up the grind. Furthermore, the player can't really do anything except upgrade. Maybe allow the generator to be clicked to skip 1 second at a time? In any case, as I said, nice concept, extremely slow. Only buy if you have something else to do in order to let it run in the background.

A real idle game indeed. Just leave it running and go do something else, buying upgrades from time to time

bad progression system, no offline progress

Turns out it's a pretty hardcore game. But at the same time it perfectly implements an idle gameplay. Just minimaze the game window and have fun. And all these multipliers looks really interesting, you feel the progress with every upgrade. Continue playing.

I think i've used my calculator to see my hourly rates far to often. Good game non the less
