Coin Idle

From G12, the makers of Atom Idle, here's another game that gets points for choosing a very niche theme: Coin Idle.  Here you are a coin collector, and new coins appear about every 9 seconds, and you merge them for better coins.  There are many layers of things to level up, and an exponential progression of points.  Here the currencies are money, gold bars and knowledge. 


You can tap the finger/target buttons at bottom left or right speed up the next coins, and of course there are quests that count these clicks, power ups to speed up the process, and you can watch a video for X5 speed for 5 minutes or other boosts.  At the very top left is a coin that slowly disappears -- when the coin is gone, the next coin appears in your collection.

You can double-tap any coin to see its information, and from that page you can upgrade it.  Adding one star gives you X2 and costs 480 gold bars and 240 knowledge.  The second star gives X4 and costs twice as much.  I haven't done more than that for any coin yet.

Again, there is a little question mark icon at bottom left that will explain all the other icons and buttons to you.  Next to that is a trophy button which shows your achievements/quests.

The bottom bar has two rows.  The first shows your remaining auto-merges, your trophies, and your clicks (?).  The first and last buttons popup a Resource Exchange window but I'm not sure what it's doing.  The middle button takes you to the Collector Rating window, which lets you put coins in an exhibition, but I think I accidentally reset my progress from thiw window -- I'm not sure what I clicked that time.  

The bottom row of the bottom bar has: upgrades, your coin collection, a page showing continents (not sure why), settings, auto-merge on/off, and the shop.  The Upgrades window has three tabs, one for each of the currencies: Money, Gold Bars and Knowledge, so be sure to check them all.  The upgrades all show a cost and then a button that says "1 UP," "2 UP", etc.  Click the cost button to upgrade once.  "3 UP" means you can afford to upgrade that item 3 times, and click the "3 UP" button to do all three upgrades at once.

It doesn't really make sense to merge coins of one country to get coins of another country, but they sure built an interesting library of coins, including real-world rarities with a good amount of notes for each one.  It looks like there are 438 different common coins to discover, plus 22 ancient coins and 4 rare coins.



The No Ads option was only $4.49 for this one.  To their credit, this game never ran an ad on its own.  The ads are only there to get boosts when you're feeling particularly impatient.  You have to click one of those options before any ad will play.

Empires & Puzzles: End of Season 5

Image
I finished Season 5 (Egypt).  The last battle was impressive, with Set starting at about 18K HP with the usual minions, after which he becomes a titan battle with about 60KHP, and as that was winding down with my guys getting very weak, he came back as a regular battle with anoth 13KHP.  I think I did the 75 gems to buy a second chance, but it was a good end-of-season adventure with some surprises. A few nights back, I got an event summons and came up with Heimdall, that really difficult opponent who blows his horn and heals allies above their normal max HP, AND can reincarnate fallen allies.  Now he's on my team 6, and I'm training him up to help with the alliance wars. Last night I got a few event summons again, and bought a few more for $5.99.  Got some new ones: lemur construct, treevil, and a bunch of really odd characters.  I later got 3 summons from coins at the end of the event and got two different gnomes and some kind of magical flamingo.  Heck, 500 coins fo

Peace by Peace: Succulents

Image
We got Peace by Peace: Succulents a few weeks back at the Toy Box in San Clemente, CA on the way back from a weekend trip.  I also got the cactus-themed game "What's the Point" in that same batch, so it was an odd pair.  Two of the types of plants I used to grow back when I had space to grow things. Anyway, Peace by Peace is not really a game, it's a series of 50 puzzles.  There is a set of 45 triangle-shaped tiles with colored leaf patterns in each corner, then a set of 50 cards giving puzzles to be solved.  Each card list which numbered tiles to use and shows a few starting cards by their number, but not what position they're in, followed by some empty spaces and possibly the colors of a few other corners. The challenge is to work out how to complete the pattern using the tiles available.  It's a bit annoying finding those tiles to setup the puzzles, but we settled on stacking them in piles of 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39 and 40-45.  Then we could easily find wh

Idle Planet Miner - Debris Fields

Image
I finally completed research for the debris field in Idle Planet Miner.  It only took about a full month of what little time I have to fiddle with it daily. Yes, the debris fields are automatically harvested, just like the asteroids.  I have seen two debris fields appear so far.  One gave me a satellite dish and the other gave 71 basic computers.  So they are pretty much exactly what I was expecting: a source of random items. Here is one I caught in a screenshot... I added the white box so you can see it better.  They are gone in about 5 seconds like the asteroids so you might not see them most of the time.  I suddenly have 60 advanced computers, 700 lasers and a ton of other things.  Now I need 5 more nuclear reactors and 92 scrith alloy for the only other research available: superior asteroid harvester, another x1.3 value bonus.  I guess I can also do Advanced Leader for 8 more motors, 8 telescopes and 111 scrith alloy. I also made it to planet 43, the $6.2q investment, the first one
