About NGU IDLE
Watch numbers climb endlessly as you battle over 300 uniquely illustrated bosses and collect 350+ hand-drawn items in this idle RPG that blends passive progression with active combat. With a ridiculous story, upgrades that upgrade themselves, and a snarky developer active in its massive community, NGU IDLE delivers endless dopamine hits without forcing you to spend a dime.
The #1 rated Idle Game on Kongregate is now headed its way to Steam! Experience the stupidity of NGU IDLE and get:
- Regular updates!
- An RPG and inventory system!
- Loot over 350 hand-drawn and unique equipment, consumables, quest items, you name it!
- Over 300 bosses, each with their own hand-drawn art!
- A metric buttload of upgrades! Even your upgrades have upgrades! I love typing the word upgrade! UPGRADE.
- Unfolding features the further you progress!
- Fight weird Bosses like a flock of Canada Geese or a giant Sundae!
- A really weird and funny story if you’re into that.
- A mix of Idle and Active play to satisfy everyone except really grumpy people.
- A Badly drawn Kitty!
- Progress Bars everywhere!
- A 9000+ member Discord to ask your newbie questions and brag about your numbers going up.
- Premium currency you can PASSIVELY OBTAIN at a decent pace, without paying a cent. Only toss me some cash because you want to, not because you need to in order to progress.
- A snarky, very active dev who you can personally harass on Discord if you want! (be gentle)
- Awful Puns.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
What is so great about this game? Is it the elementary level MS Paint 1995 drawings? Nope! Is it the fact that there is an armor made of CHEESE?! Also no. Is it about being spanked by the titan known as Gordon Ramsay? You son of a cheese you might be onto something. Well.... you know what? What? You don't get it? Jokes on you pal, I don't either. It's why I drink electrolytes, It's what the plants crave so it is what I crave. [quote]Lets look at this from the 5th person view: "Wow this guy is a dolt". You ain't wrong though.[/quote] Everything you do in NGU makes you feel like a crayon eater in the best way possible. You literally do nothing. You sit there, twiddling your toes and sucking your thumbs waiting for the next "You know what time it is...." as disappointment covers your face. Yeah, COVERS. You just got smothered by love. It even has a freakin cat, that is FAT, hoards your items, and purrs them to level up. Bet you didn't expect that huh. The loop is oh so simple: "I'm gonna stay up 5 more minutes so i can give birth to myself and level my NUMBER up more!!!". Then it''s 3am, you got no joints left, your sushi is warm and you can feel the oil pulsating out of your po…3 found this helpful
I approve
basically just starting the game at 800+ hours but its epic as someone who loves idles and incremental games, the void this will leave in my life will ruin me I know it already.
Only play if you want to have a game that will run simultaneously with everything else you plan on doing in life. Very addictive.....I personally hate idle games, but this one scratches a very specific itch. My hours at the time of this review is considered very low in comparison to most players. There's a reason why this game is listed as the longest game on howlongtobeat (how I found out about the game). Also daycare kitty told me to leave a nice review :)
its fun so far, hopefully i wont end up with thousands of hours on this game which will inadvertently ruin my life due to lost time
I have chosen to walk the path of perpetual torment.
