Idle Atomic

With the progenitor of the genre, [i]Cookie Clicker[/i], being the minimalist masterpiece of interesting openings, it never ceases to boggle my mind how many idle games have boring openings. [h1]Boring opening with a specter of save loss[/h1] [h2]also: a minimum-effort mobile port[/h2] I don't see any reason to continue playing [i]Idle Atomic[/i]. It has a boring opening and I can't really see any enticements on the horizon. There doesn't seem to be any jokes or plot. And with it being a minimum-effort mobile port, it also kills any hopes for a long-term or sporadic play. Firstly, it has several non-obvious UI elements, but there are [b]no tooltips[/b] - so staying on top of increasingly coplex mechanics is a no-go. Secondly, other reviews mention a bug that causes save wipes. Well, that's an ever-present risk in a game that you'd play for years on end, so obviously you'd take this into account and just regularly back-up the save onto a file on a pendrive... but then it turns out there's no option to export the save. Apparently the standard feature for web- or PC-originated games is not something that smartphone apps use. (And thirdly, while it's not on the level of the worst of freemium smartphone apps, the attempts at upselling [i]do[/i] feel too in-your-face.) [h2]In conclusion,[/h2] skip it.
