Comments on Idle Area 51 for Android

★★★★★ Mad Hatter957 · Sep 17, 2023

Love idle games and to be honest this one is by far the best I haven't seen a single ad other than the one I watch for the buffs. Ten out of ten for these developers

★★★★★ Cole McCann · Jun 9, 2024

This game is so good this game is on roblox I like idle Area 51 tycoon games

★★★★☆ Will Brashear · Sep 21, 2025

Enjoyed the game, but it takes forever if you aren't spending money or burning through ads.

★★☆☆☆ Red Snow · Aug 8, 2025

One of the worst idle games ive played. Unfortunately there's not much to do... the ads and constant pop-ups ruin my experience as well. Every 30 seconds you get another pop-up wiggling and flashing on my screen.

★★☆☆☆ Tyler Wagner · Dec 5, 2023

It's a fun game. It just takes exponentially longer to complete the second world than it does the first which isn't fun. And seeing as I'm stuck in the second world, I can only give 2 stars.

★☆☆☆☆ Paul Hughes · Jul 25, 2023

Every game like this is garbage, can never progress after like a few worlds, only on the 2nd world and can't even get enough money for a section, just ridiculous

★☆☆☆☆ Vir-Pyre (virpyre) · Aug 4, 2023

Not much to do, there are 4 upgrades, and once you build them and make enough money for the space station, the game is boring. The ads on the side aren't worth watching. Nether is the 2 minute x2 buff for 30-second videos that might give you a reward, then you have: $10 to remove ads, $5 income buff, and another x2 buff for $10 and a $15 pass very greedy game.
