What a long trip it's been.
it's probably the best game ever made you'll understand at 1,000 hours at 7,700 you'll understand it's curse once it's over, you can't go back, you'll miss it dearly & it'll leave a void you didn't even realise it was filling, but you can't go back 11/10
My fuzzy orange Cheeto slippers have finally reached level 100! My progress towards L100 of Cheeto has helped me greatly in my need to dissociate with what other orange Cheeto things are doing to my life. I'd like to make it clear that I understand and acknowledge that Cheeto is in no way supposed to be capitalized nor referenced, but, as with this game, my need to address the red squiggles under the words of my review was unstoppable. Google and my PC told me that the rules required it to be capitalized so I relented in misnaming the equipment. If you love following and breaking arbitrary rules... if you love tediously making sure that the next ten hours of idle time is min-maxed to the fullest... if you love balancing and juggling and worrying about how the next 5 years of your life are going to go Then Download This Game! If you are struggling with worry about the state of the cheetos that are currently ruining your life, allow some fuzzy shoes to take the place of all that nonsene! ESCAPE... into NGU. Just DO IT! You ...um... you may actually regret it. ...but in a good way. Like an addiction. ...that is comforting in its tedium and constant progress.... for years... (ahh, so many red squiggles! type faster and forget!) Trust me. You'll like it. Just have a small taste. It IS free, after all. What harm could it do? Just one little install and a quick exploration. You can always delete it later IF YOU CAN WANT TO. (thank you game dev. I've seriously enjoyed all 118 days, so far. I can't wait until I finish... until I'm finally done. ...until I can escape the madness.) (But also, Seriously, Thank you! I've appreciated every second.)

this. is the kind of game that your turn on and forget you have on for a solid year, ima be honest this would probbably make the literal best bitcoin mining scheme i have ever seen as it encourages you to leave it open in a tab for the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ day and forget about it. and if you like the game, believe me, there is a lot to do... 2000+ hours of afking to do
Indeed, what a wild ride. With so many funny texts, messages, memes and references to other games and anime, spread around the entire game, I found myself smiling and even chuckling at times =D Definitely, one of the best "Numbers Go Up" games, alongside Antimatter Dimensions, Trimps and Cookie Clicker. NGU Idle will always hold a special place in my memory, thank you so much for it, 4g
I thought that an idle game would be a good way to fill in the gaps between tasks and keep me at my computer during a period when I don't have a whole lot of extrinsic motivation. Boy was I wrong - this is very well put together, but I did not anticipate how much of my attention it would suck up. Upvote is for quality of game; but I'm afraid I've uninstalled it for my own sanity.
In the time it takes to finish you will see empires grow and collapse. It's okay.
big number good
Numbers must go up. If you can understand that, this is the penultimate game for you. 8.5/10
Rodents of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.
