Idle Streaming Bonanza

I really don't want to write a negative review about this game. Not because I secretly like it, but because I don't want to deal with the backlash. However, I have to be honest. Like most people, I bought this game due to the controversy surrounding it, combined with the fact that 100% of the reviews were positive, and I wanted to see how good it actually was. But if you actually inspect the review section closely, you'll notice that most of the reviewers don't actually talk about the game itself, and that they all played for less than an hour. Well, there's a reason for that. Simply put, this game is... not great. It's not terrible either, but there just isn't much there to do, or to talk about. I had the intention of comparing this to the long list of idle games that I've played in the past, but I can't because it's not actually an idle game. If anything, it's the opposite of one. It requires near-constant input from the arrow keys to increase your "streak" and earn points. After a while, the key input becomes pretty automatic, and I can appreciate a good mindless game, but mindless does not equal idle. You take the points you earn from your streak to buy upgrades, and you oc…

Finished, unlike Pirate Software's game

Admittedly, there isn't much to Idle Streaming Bonanza. It's a fairly straightforward "idle" game that is ultimately more fun to mod voice-lines in than anything. I did enjoy my time with it, but a lot of that was derived from personally detesting one of the parody subjects of the game. That, however, does not detract from its importance to freedom of speech and expression. When this game was in development, one of the parody subjects of the game attempted to have the game's progress halted through legal threat. This particular subject (Jason Thor Hall) is a nepo-baby of the highest caliber with an ego the size of Uranus. Jason Thor Hall (son of Joey Ray Hall of Blizzard fame) is a streamer and "game dev" (look into the absolute joke and scam that is Heartbound) who found himself in controversy at the time of ISB's development. At the time, Jason was involved with a Hardcore guild in World Of Warcraft known as Only Fangs. For those who don't know, "Hardcore" in WoW is a game mode where every death is permanent. If your character dies, that's 100's of hours just gone and up in smoke. Teamwork is a very important part of this game mode. Jason was involved in a livestreamed in…

Fun and surprisingly deep idle game (but not deep). The tutorial could use some help explaining how 'bitties' works. I just like to see number go up, reset, and see number go up even more. Don't come expecting more than an idle game! It is something you can open up and play for 5 minutes or 5 hours at a time. Perfect. I hope this dev continues making new games with the passion and love he showed this game!

Game has a potential but would need some extra work and improvements/polishing, developer is focused on another project os this one only gets minor tweaks and fixes. The game has some bugs as any indie game does, some are smaller, some are bigger. Also some things could use better planning/UX (minigames, save states, progression scaling, etc). Overall fun for maybe few hours.

dont buy this game out of curiosity, thats not worth it. also dont buy it for the achivements, alot of them just wont work.
