About Lu[Idle]

Disclaimer:Lu\ does not have a large amount of content and there is a lot of waiting, hence the "idle" part of the name. I put Lu\ on steam as a way to showcase my creation. There are planned updates but no plan on when they will be worked on, and If you have any criticism or feedback, you are welcome to share it with me on my discord server.In Lu\ you play as a game developer making a Lua game but instead of coding you are clicking. Make your game huge by clicking and getting Bytes which is the amount of storage your game takes up and as we all know more Gigabytes = better game. Type commands into the console to make code that brings your games storage up automatically, upgrade your mouse to gain more bytes per click and drink some coffee for a boost and purchase a server to make your game even bigger. Get immersed and become a Lua game developer today in Lu\. This game is very early access and is lacking a lot of features that I intend to add and the price will most likely increase as updates come.

Key Features
  • Upgradable Code Snippets to Increase your Bytes per Second
  • Console to Input various Commands found in the Commands Folder Tab
  • Upgrades Tab to Increase your Games Size even more
  • Release your game and gain sales to make your future games better (prestige)

simple but in a good way for me

Don't. "Lu[Idle] is officially not in early access anymore. This doesn't come with any updates and is only being done because I do not plan to make any new updates to the game there for there is no reason to keep it in early access. Thank you for understanding." No updates, no game, no reason to download it.

a very incomplete game

It is a solid, yet basic idle/incremental game with the ability to slightly speed things up through a clicking interface. There is some glitchy-ness to it as after I made the first program - I had to save, close and reopen the game to get the options on the phone to reappear. It would also be nice if you had the ability to abandon a program / try one of the easier ones as I locked my game into a harder program too early. I hope the developer keeps making games as I would be interested to see what they come up with for a sequel or next game.

Objectively speaking, this is a pretty bad game. It's about as bare bones as an idle game can get, with only 3 purchasable upgrades, and 3 upgrades purchasable with prestige currency. But, I kind of like it anyways. It scratches the number go up itch fairly well, even if it doesn't do much else. I definitely would not pay for this game, but as a free game to have running in the background while you watch TV, it fills that niche fairly well.
