Hope u got a good buck because you put effort into this! I liked it, sadly the dev is on a very dark path, we´ll see how this´ll work out. (Before some of the latest updates this was truly one of the best f2p friendly idle games ever.
I have watched every single video you’ve made the instant it comes out and normally don’t comment but this is literally some type of masterpiece I don’t even know what to say
The dev has been a cringe weirdo for years, its just finally come to light. I remember when he compared critiscism about an old update to a rape accusation, always ignored and censored any crique
Also banned a bunch of people who called him out on that. Dev doesn't take criticism well. Some of the people he banned were the people who originally supported his community and wrote documents to help new players navigate the buggy game.
some of the op pets (which are very rare, like 2.50% or less for some, as well as only getting weekly opportunities to get one if you don't pay money) include: +25 level to all talents(pretty strong early and very strong late game), activating all world 5 divinities (this basically means that you can stack multiple of VERY powerful endgame bonuses), +100% drop rate and exp (this isn't exactly double, but it is still absolutely massive early and midgame, as well as lategame for some great buffs), all large alchemy bubbles count as equipped (these bubbles are strong buffs for mid and late game), on and on. Those are just the bonuses for some of the first few pets, more will be added as well. Tbh this is my least favorite update for a while, right ahead of dungeons :/ I feel like the game should be about optimizing randomness, not just gambling for incredible buffs. This is from the pov of someone who does not pay attention to discord stuff either.
loosing accounts doesn't really matter considering that he can't make any anti cheat at all lmao, have fun using cheat engine to get literally everything and not get banned for months. what's even the point of actually progressing at this point.
As someone who played this and stopped around when world 3 came out, there is a secret class if you were to continue past Prometheus without selecting any class and in the carrot area, there is a bush with eyes which will give you quests to obtain said class.
Dev went off the deep end and instead of harbouring good faith with the community and allowing word of mouth to increase the playerbase (as it had been for several months in a row based on his own posts in the game's discord), decided to use insane gacha systems as a money printing machine for advertising and plans to continue doing so. Patched down to either waiting for just under 4 years to obtain the top tier roll or paying hundreds (at least it's not thousands?). Has also taken to fallaciously claiming everyone that brings up complaints as some fringe member or not part of the "true" community. Not supporting inflammatory comments in response to patches, but good faith criticism does not invalidate you from being part of the community, and lumping people making valid critiques in with people just being rude is ridiculous.
I am sorry to sound so dumbed out by what you're trying to say but systemS? Like, MULTIPLE gacha systems? As a person who is entirely f2p and has kattlecruk gear, I am aware that the pet system is absolutely ridiculous. It looks like it came straight out of a page of roblox developer books, with the overpowered bonuses and genuinely baffling f2p earn rates alike. I am not on the say of developer ethics and stuff like that because I genuinely barely hang out with the community outside of the game itself, not even their discord server or steam comments or groups. However, the reason I have a problem with your comment, even though it may be hyperbolia since you didnt speicifcally mention multiple apart from putting system in plural, is that you mention the MULTIPLE gachas that work like this..? Well I can name a bunch that ARE gacha but none of them are actually inflammatory or even are able to paid for to begin with. Arcade is just a pachinko machine that gradually becomes more and more f2p friendly as you play the game and unlock more ways to boost ball gain and have more chances at rewards. Secondly, the pachinko rewards arent NEARLY as ridiculously overpowered as the later pets, and are mostly just harmless items and at worst a few stamps that have minute bonuses to the thing you are getting them from. Other gacha systems in the game are either from items that you get from events, which arent and never were able to paid for, or the other luck-based skillings like alchemy and cooking. Which also are entirely f2p and dont even have the option to be better by exclusively paid gambling methods, or a week long wait time for a singular opportunity. The pet rewards, though, feel like they could have been like rift rewards, it genuinely feels incredibly douchy to put them behind a gambling- and/or paywall that is incredibly user unfriendly to the point that it reaches the levels of chinese mobile games with and/or themed entirely around copyrighted content that they do not own, like anime, videogames, or both. I understand that due to all these systems coming BEFORE the pet system means that he was 100% aware he could've just made the system more f2p firendly, and that that makes his decisions even more greedy, but to say that he has done something like pets BEFORE pets to the same greedy and scummy degree is just a lie. Theres no gacha system that actually is as whale-raking as pets or ever came close to being like that. And dont get me wrong, if I was more active in the community I *CERTAINLY* would have the same opinion as you. And knowing more will be on the horizon certainly convinced me and likely many others like us both that the game is going to go downhill. However, be a bit more clear if you're using hyperbolia or actually trying to pass this off as a fact when you create your argument because it now just sort of feels like you are being tainted by these decisions to the point that you want to exaggerate the facts that build up your own opinion and view on the situation. I am not bothered by this way of commenting myself but knowing youtube reply threads it is a good tip to watch out for, alright?

It's still 2 years then, for bonuses that should have been gotten in game. it's an idle game/incremental. You get a mechanic that is management heavy at first, then you unlock the "simplifier/auto" later, here ... that is paywalled which means even in world 8 you will still need to micro manage things.

Highly agreed, as one of the many hundreds that got surprise-banned in one day for merely existing as an older player in the discord. He is an unhinged maniac, lava. Great game, run by a man child. Highly recommend going in with that in mind if you want to experience it.
@@Shayan397 people that are manipulative often come across as charming, in order to be liked. I'm guessing you're fairly new to the game and don't know about lavas history with his player base. There's too many instances to truly mention here but here: watch?v=CslBzvGLNTI
a good idle game that takes quite a while is called antimatter dimensions, highly suggest it since it’s been my favorite for a while now and i’ve almost beaten it
I’ve played this game for a year and the developer made a gambling update with pets and he received a bunch of backlash due to it being predatory. The developer still hasn’t responded it’s been 2 weeks. He did this with his other game called idle skilling which he stopped updating after promising and update and adding really op p2w
yes, it is very strange that the pet mechanic was implemented this way :/ was hoping it would be a cool, intresting mechanic not literal gambling, (ive been playing almost 2 years, obviously not active the whole time though)
I prolly wouldn’t comment this on a video that is bringing people to the game. Even though it’s not in the best state rn, it can increase the lifespan of the game
@@Bag1911 It really isn't a bad game that doesn't deserve players or something, we just wish the developer would accept backlash and admit when mistakes have been made more often.
@@Bag1911 what would increase the lifespan more is the dev backpedaling on bad changes that gut the game's future potential for a quick buck. Prospective new players should know what they're getting into.
the first few hours of this game is good but in the later worlds this game gets very p2w if you want to be reasonably progress in this game do your self a favor and dont start playing this game
I STRONGLY caution anyone to not play this game. I have over 10,000 hours in the game and the dev has recently lost his mind, adding basically mandatory features that cost $500+. DO NOT waste your time on this game.
@@garrettlauderbaugh312 Can confirm it's true. The previous update added a gacha system that equates to $500+ to unlock the most broken of all the pets it offers guaranteed. It's a base 0.28% chance that goes up to a 0.85% chance at max tier when doing pulls.
Mandatory features? 😂😂 you can continue playing and progressing in the game w/o pets. Funny how people are so insensitive for added content. It isn't like he added world 6 behind a paywall.
@benobangs4601 you only think this because you are clearly new. Would you say having access to all 10/10 of your characters is mandatory? Of course it is. And with doot you can. Without doot you have to have at least 6 characters in the lab at all times meaning anyone without doot not only missing out on the MASSIVE bonuses, but can only use 4/10 of their characters. It's mandatory.
@@benobangs4601 In any incremental games, you'd unlock automation for things in a later patch or content, here it's locked behind paywalls, world 8 you will still need to micromanage things where it should have been a late world 6 or early world 7 unlock etc. And that's without lava removing the sentence about "not wanting to do scummy practices" on steam the day he added them.
One day Dragoon will make an AI to exactly replicate himself, making videos idly. THIS is the true Dragoon arc. It is only a matter of time until it's not Dragoon behind the keyboard. Perhaps it has already happened...
damn, cant believe Dragoon is playing Idleon. I have a few hundred hours on the game but quit cuz of how pay 2 win it becomes later in the game, at like world 4
Great video, Sad the game has become more Pay to win than it has ever been, with a gacha mechanic nobody asked for, with barely any chance to actually get the good things, with little to no response from the dev over the backlash from this update, a new way to pay, since the old 'cash' Currency wasn't secured server side, and a rotating pool in this Gacha system. which would also count as gambling.
Good video, but the game dev has gone off the deep end. Introduced a p2w gacha mechanic and removed the part of the games steam description that said he 'Wouldn't rely on scummy p2w practices'. F2p players have to wait FOUR years to get the "pity roll". Dev is now gaslighting anyone who criticises him in his discord.
Heavy inspiration from it, with of course more focus on idling. Pretty fun with lots of mechanics and systems But sadly I cannot recommend you to support this game anymore, since the developer betrayed his community by backing on his word and adding insane p2w gacha (pets), banning everyone who criticizes him and gaslighting the rest (his "true community") into believing this is necessary and fine.
@@DKmain4 with the new gacha, why should I roll for pixelated pets that snap the game balance in half instead of rolling for cute waifus that don’t snap the game balance in half (some are OP, but I have yet to see anything that even comes close to doot) they even tend to give players more rolls (current game I’m playing gives 49 rolls per month instead of 4 from idleon) with a better pity (180 rolls for hard pity) and decent rates actually just go play gacha game instead imo (only a half joke)
Shame that due to the latest gacha / p2w stuff the ios version bugs out a bunch (apple blocked it as it was too cash grabby for their policies). Dev has also gone into hiding after the outcry, suggest avoiding idleon entirely.
@@DKmain4 have you considered that having the blessings of all gods, all at once (you could only choose up to 2 before doot), at no player mobility cost (you had to stuff people in lab to get bonuses), would be kind of broken that’s just the SSR character, there’s also slightly less rare characters that trivialise content (the biggest buffs being all alchemy big bubbles being active, and removing carrying cap restrictions outside of crafting with permanent portable storage chest). pretty balanced game I guess (no, it isn’t). if I have to play gacha to get game-breaking upgrades, why don’t I play an actual gacha game with less broken waifus and more free pulls lmao
after the gacha update, I have decided to pick up gacha games again. they unironically have better rates than idleon (the “no scummy business practices” game), and to compete with each other, they also give out a bunch of resources for f2p players to get their favourite characters time to become a commander in girls frontline and project neural cloud again
@@peperoni9757 has one gacha system and no competitive aspect other than what you make by yourself, and dev gets death threats so he’s really not feeling 10 thousand people saying shit things, the game is still playable and fun and he is going to continue making the game
I remember there was this one RUclipsr who played idleon that dared to critiscise lavaguy for world 3, and the dev responded with "this sounds like when people are accused of rape". Likening game critiscism with rape accusations then banning the youtuber from his server is a bruh moment
Yeah we have been waiting for a response for nearly 2 weeks. The pet system shown in the video gives you 1 pet per week for free with no way at all to get more, the best pet has a base chance of 0.27 (give or take 0.01) chance of being the one tamed and a 0.87 or so chance after rolling 40-50 times l. It activates all of the divinities in the game (Divinities are super powerful buffs you unlock in world 5, they are so powerful that you can only equip 1 per character (a single elite class can equip 2), now with that pet you don't even need to reach world 5 or unlock them to get their buffs, just to improve them) People have spend thousand rolling the wheel to try and get that pet, some people didn't even get it after all that All because Lava didn't secure gems server side so hackers could add as many as they wanted meaning he made some green gems that were secured server side... Didn't stop the hackers from aquiring the pets through other means though (not sure if the details) Oh yeah also apparently there's going to be another rotation in a few weeks but we don't know much about it because, well as I said, radio silence from the dev
@@mynameisd2849 yes everything else is REALLY good, all of the things in the game flow really well with each other, it's just a shame the F2P players have been left in the dust while P2W players get multiple of the best bonuses in the game in this update. Prior to this Lava had always put F2P players first, there were some things you could do to support him but even then 99% the paid stuff could be easily gotten for free due to the plentiful sources of gems in the game. Hopefully he will provide some way for F2P players to catch up soon or at least ditch the batch 2 of pets idea.
If you're immune to seeing everyone with premium items and a $2k USD pet and not feeling left out, should be alright. Otherwise, your money is better spent elsewhere.
It's a shame the Idleon dev turned to garbage gacha mechanics after promising for years that he wouldn't resort to "scummy business practices" like that.
This game was amazing. But as many other comments say, the dev, lavaflame2, added one of the most blatantly disrespectful and predatory gacha mechanics very recently. The most powerful upgrade ever added, 0.50% drop. With it's own overpriced second premium currency. I cannot tell anyone enough to not play this game. The developer banned all critique, and ghosted his community, then came back and gaslighted everyone with a nonresponse and excuses about his personal mental health. Sad day

Highly agreed, as one of the many hundreds that got surprise-banned in one day for merely existing as an older player in the discord. He is an unhinged maniac, lava. Great game, run by a man child. Highly recommend going in with that in mind if you want to experience it.
@@GenerationLex havent touched the game for 1.5~2 years, was about to replay it again, thanks for reminding me why i quit the game in the first place
Wdym this game is SO FUN plus the dev lava flame seems pretty nice even tho I didn’t spell his name correctly lol
@@Shayan397 people that are manipulative often come across as charming, in order to be liked. I'm guessing you're fairly new to the game and don't know about lavas history with his player base. There's too many instances to truly mention here but here: watch?v=CslBzvGLNTI
Damn this was one of the best videos I have watched so far
a good idle game that takes quite a while is called antimatter dimensions, highly suggest it since it’s been my favorite for a while now and i’ve almost beaten it
antimatter dimensions is really fun throughout, at least once you get past break infinity hell
jeez, this was a rollercoaster of emotions. good job dragoon.
I’ve played this game for a year and the developer made a gambling update with pets and he received a bunch of backlash due to it being predatory. The developer still hasn’t responded it’s been 2 weeks. He did this with his other game called idle skilling which he stopped updating after promising and update and adding really op p2w
yes, it is very strange that the pet mechanic was implemented this way :/ was hoping it would be a cool, intresting mechanic not literal gambling, (ive been playing almost 2 years, obviously not active the whole time though)
I prolly wouldn’t comment this on a video that is bringing people to the game. Even though it’s not in the best state rn, it can increase the lifespan of the game
@@Bag1911 well they already banned me on discord for talking about it
@@Bag1911 It really isn't a bad game that doesn't deserve players or something, we just wish the developer would accept backlash and admit when mistakes have been made more often.
@@Bag1911 what would increase the lifespan more is the dev backpedaling on bad changes that gut the game's future potential for a quick buck. Prospective new players should know what they're getting into.
Lol, this is by far one of your best videos
Okay, we need a 3 hour Matpat Video about the Dragoon lore already. Its so much content!
This aged poorly.
found your channel not too long ago. been loving the videos, keep it up man. can't wait to see more
the first few hours of this game is good but in the later worlds this game gets very p2w if you want to be reasonably progress in this game
do your self a favor and dont start playing this game
This game is pretty epic, glad you played it, though I hope lavaflame2 fixes his "mistake" recent review are bad.
I STRONGLY caution anyone to not play this game. I have over 10,000 hours in the game and the dev has recently lost his mind, adding basically mandatory features that cost $500+. DO NOT waste your time on this game.
Is this true? That sucks! :(
@@garrettlauderbaugh312 Can confirm it's true. The previous update added a gacha system that equates to $500+ to unlock the most broken of all the pets it offers guaranteed. It's a base 0.28% chance that goes up to a 0.85% chance at max tier when doing pulls.
Mandatory features? 😂😂 you can continue playing and progressing in the game w/o pets. Funny how people are so insensitive for added content. It isn't like he added world 6 behind a paywall.
@benobangs4601 you only think this because you are clearly new. Would you say having access to all 10/10 of your characters is mandatory? Of course it is. And with doot you can. Without doot you have to have at least 6 characters in the lab at all times meaning anyone without doot not only missing out on the MASSIVE bonuses, but can only use 4/10 of their characters. It's mandatory.
@@benobangs4601 In any incremental games, you'd unlock automation for things in a later patch or content, here it's locked behind paywalls, world 8 you will still need to micromanage things where it should have been a late world 6 or early world 7 unlock etc. And that's without lava removing the sentence about "not wanting to do scummy practices" on steam the day he added them.
Yay! I play this game every day, happy to see you playing it :D
Damn, that was an amazing boss fight.
Tbh, i Tried this game a year ago but didnt like it. In giving it another try bcs of you now! Love you dragoon, youre my favourite youtuber right now!
so this sponsorship is where my 200 dollars for the new pet went.
Its a great game but the pet system is something different
So this is basically maple story but pixel art,a little bit funny and breaks the 4th wall
One day Dragoon will make an AI to exactly replicate himself, making videos idly.
THIS is the true Dragoon arc.
It is only a matter of time until it's not Dragoon behind the keyboard.
Perhaps it has already happened...
i watched 4 of your videos, and you convinced me to sub. nice work
damn, cant believe Dragoon is playing Idleon. I have a few hundred hours on the game but quit cuz of how pay 2 win it becomes later in the game, at like world 4
This channel is the definition of Foreshadowing
I dont believe a game critic made by someone sponsored
I'm no game critic, what do you mean exactly?
@@Dragoon45 i mean review lmao, btw, for your fault now i have +300h on cookie clicker
i really want you to continue this
Was really interested in starting to play this but OOOF are the recent reviews negative. No wonder they needed a sponsored vid.
Bro this vid was amazing you have earnt a like and a sub
Great video, Sad the game has become more Pay to win than it has ever been, with a gacha mechanic nobody asked for, with barely any chance to actually get the good things, with little to no response from the dev over the backlash from this update, a new way to pay, since the old 'cash' Currency wasn't secured server side, and a rotating pool in this Gacha system. which would also count as gambling.
For me i really don't mind as its not multiplayer and it's just free stuff for me every week
@@mmueje8081 if you tolerate it, the developer would just continue doing it until it actually harms the progress of the game.
@@qianknobro let lava cook
@@DKmain4What a fitting name 🤡
@@no_mnomfunny 😐
OOOOOOOO YESSS THIS IS A MASTERPIECE AND the lore THE LORE
Idk how he did it but dragoon has perfectly encapsulated the idleon experience I hope we see more of it in the future
very happy to see you play idleon its my favorite idle game!
Lmao i clicked the steam link to check the game out and all the reviews say it has become a p2w cashgrab
Truth. Don't ignore the reviews, that's the only place feedback doesn't get you banned.
as an avid player of 2 years, the reviews are indeed correct as of 2 weeks ago
@@Jayboogiex oof i feel bad for dragoon. He probably made the sponsorship deal at the start of june before shit hit the fan
13:39 "I am not evil, I am perfection" is a banger line
Good video, but the game dev has gone off the deep end. Introduced a p2w gacha mechanic and removed the part of the games steam description that said he 'Wouldn't rely on scummy p2w practices'. F2p players have to wait FOUR years to get the "pity roll". Dev is now gaslighting anyone who criticises him in his discord.
Is this still an ongoing thing?
dragoon is the only person that can make one massive sponsor ad feel like an actual good normal video
Morgan Ellis is literally Khorne, truly a bloodthirsty monster
But not as much as Genevieve
Getting so mad at a RUclips comment that you write the commentor into your videos as the main antagonist is the reason I subbed tbh
Hey wait a second, a lot of this game just looks like Maple Story.
Heavy inspiration from it, with of course more focus on idling. Pretty fun with lots of mechanics and systems
But sadly I cannot recommend you to support this game anymore, since the developer betrayed his community by backing on his word and adding insane p2w gacha (pets), banning everyone who criticizes him and gaslighting the rest (his "true community") into believing this is necessary and fine.
Oh what a shame, things like that happen too often.
Well you just got a new subscriber man that was too good ❤❤❤
While I respect the video, don't let it distract you from the fact idleon's last update turned it into a gacha game.
Think about the gains not the gacha
@@DKmain4 Or you could stop supporting a piece of shit developer. Can't imagine boots taste very good.
@@DKmain4 with the new gacha, why should I roll for pixelated pets that snap the game balance in half instead of rolling for cute waifus that don’t snap the game balance in half (some are OP, but I have yet to see anything that even comes close to doot)
they even tend to give players more rolls (current game I’m playing gives 49 rolls per month instead of 4 from idleon) with a better pity (180 rolls for hard pity) and decent rates
actually just go play gacha game instead imo (only a half joke)
Atleast the events are very oppp
I get 12 24 hour candy per whole event its op
Holy crap, the use of Calamity music (especially Acceptance) in conjuction with the story line was incredible!
Shame that due to the latest gacha / p2w stuff the ios version bugs out a bunch (apple blocked it as it was too cash grabby for their policies). Dev has also gone into hiding after the outcry, suggest avoiding idleon entirely.
based opinion.
You can just play the game you know pets are not theat op
@@DKmain4 have you considered that having the blessings of all gods, all at once (you could only choose up to 2 before doot), at no player mobility cost (you had to stuff people in lab to get bonuses), would be kind of broken
that’s just the SSR character, there’s also slightly less rare characters that trivialise content (the biggest buffs being all alchemy big bubbles being active, and removing carrying cap restrictions outside of crafting with permanent portable storage chest).
pretty balanced game I guess (no, it isn’t). if I have to play gacha to get game-breaking upgrades, why don’t I play an actual gacha game with less broken waifus and more free pulls lmao
after the gacha update, I have decided to pick up gacha games again.
they unironically have better rates than idleon (the “no scummy business practices” game), and to compete with each other, they also give out a bunch of resources for f2p players to get their favourite characters
time to become a commander in girls frontline and project neural cloud again
Great video man and video games like that are so cool
Now hypixel?
From france, you are amazing and i love every video you did 👍
Holy fuck I've been trying so hard not to fall into the trap of playing idleon again but watching this video I feel like I might have to start again
Same, I just re-downloaded it and I do dread the moment I log in and see all the items that I won't have room in my inventory or bank for XD
@@fudgemerchantif you keep progressing you’ll be able to get what you lost in like an hour
Not worth it, game has become increasingly low effort, has p2w gacha and the dev bans anyone who critiscises him
@@peperoni9757 oof, just opened it. Pet/follower system is not a good look. Gives RotMG vibes from when their downfall started
@@peperoni9757 has one gacha system and no competitive aspect other than what you make by yourself, and dev gets death threats so he’s really not feeling 10 thousand people saying shit things, the game is still playable and fun and he is going to continue making the game
Morgan went to train to become stronger than ever to beat genevieve ladi
Heads up: this game's creator is infamous for shutting down youtubers who play this game ( obviously not including people they sponser )
I remember there was this one RUclipsr who played idleon that dared to critiscise lavaguy for world 3, and the dev responded with "this sounds like when people are accused of rape". Likening game critiscism with rape accusations then banning the youtuber from his server is a bruh moment
@@peperoni9757why are you a hater he just added pets we need to wait to see how it becomes then comment
@@DKmain4 ah yes just ignore everything I said about him actively censoring and dodging critiscism for years
Dragoon, your father is awaiting you.
I went to steam to check the game out and shaw mostly negative reviews, but recent ones, aparently the Dev added p2w gatcha to the game
Yeah we have been waiting for a response for nearly 2 weeks.
The pet system shown in the video gives you 1 pet per week for free with no way at all to get more, the best pet has a base chance of 0.27 (give or take 0.01) chance of being the one tamed and a 0.87 or so chance after rolling 40-50 times l. It activates all of the divinities in the game (Divinities are super powerful buffs you unlock in world 5, they are so powerful that you can only equip 1 per character (a single elite class can equip 2), now with that pet you don't even need to reach world 5 or unlock them to get their buffs, just to improve them)
People have spend thousand rolling the wheel to try and get that pet, some people didn't even get it after all that
All because Lava didn't secure gems server side so hackers could add as many as they wanted meaning he made some green gems that were secured server side...
Didn't stop the hackers from aquiring the pets through other means though (not sure if the details)
Oh yeah also apparently there's going to be another rotation in a few weeks but we don't know much about it because, well as I said, radio silence from the dev
@@TheLinksOfficial is it still fun to play ignoring the pets, like just playing normally?
@@mynameisd2849 yes everything else is REALLY good, all of the things in the game flow really well with each other, it's just a shame the F2P players have been left in the dust while P2W players get multiple of the best bonuses in the game in this update.
Prior to this Lava had always put F2P players first, there were some things you could do to support him but even then 99% the paid stuff could be easily gotten for free due to the plentiful sources of gems in the game.
Hopefully he will provide some way for F2P players to catch up soon or at least ditch the batch 2 of pets idea.
If you're immune to seeing everyone with premium items and a $2k USD pet and not feeling left out, should be alright. Otherwise, your money is better spent elsewhere.
@@mynameisd2849until you get past world 3 it's funz after that the game is insanely low effort and boring
The calamity mod music makes this video one of the greatest videos ever conceived
Do not play this game if you dont like heavy monetization, gambling, fomo, gacha, removing negative criticism and shitty dev.
Ngl this is his best video yet hands down
all that juicy p2w money huh ...
love ur videos thx for existing xoxo
It's a shame the Idleon dev turned to garbage gacha mechanics after promising for years that he wouldn't resort to "scummy business practices" like that.
It didnt 💀 just the pets, and thats it
1:56 erm actually frogs are amphibious creatures, meaning they have evolved the ability to thrive in both land and water environments.
that's exactly what I said, and I hate them for it
You think of unthinkable things and put them in the video and we all love it
This game was amazing. But as many other comments say, the dev, lavaflame2, added one of the most blatantly disrespectful and predatory gacha mechanics very recently. The most powerful upgrade ever added, 0.50% drop. With it's own overpriced second premium currency. I cannot tell anyone enough to not play this game. The developer banned all critique, and ghosted his community, then came back and gaslighted everyone with a nonresponse and excuses about his personal mental health. Sad day
