Comments on Idle Game Dev Simulator for Android

★★★★☆ Neithan Guerrero · Apr 19, 2026
Fun but just why do you use AI like you can always just hire someone or practice drawing and drawing it yourself
★★★★★ jester jes · Sep 1, 2025
I really love this game but the world ranking is not working it's just showing internet
★★★★★ Jay-R Destacamento · Sep 2, 2025
This is really good, I think this gane need more refinement in terms of its economy because I'm earning 200M/m currently and I'm the highest earning company in terms of vs bots, which is funny because I'm still at top 7. Another thing is there are so many closed feature, and also I cannot move further to solo dev 3 like what will I do now?? (I will be changing my review every update)
★★☆☆☆ William Bartlett · Nov 24, 2025
Fun mechanics, but the ads are way too frequent, especially considering there are optional ads to watch. Not even a way to pay to have no ads either.
★☆☆☆☆ Chaun Farmer · Mar 5, 2026
It's a game dev tycoon clone. Verbatim. It's not idle at all, you do the exact thing as Game Dev Tycoon. You also get this error when you try to sign in "Access blocked: Idle Game Dev Simulator has not completed the Google verification process"
★☆☆☆☆ Ali Asgar Mulla · Sep 12, 2025
Good at first glance but after 2-3 days, it gets boring and repetitive. The cost of upgrading is too high, plus the most annoying thing is that, you can't earn money while offline, bruh. Why did you put idle in the game name when you only earn money while the game is open, disappointing. I also encountered some bugs where the screen keeps loading after creating a game or after analysis, when I reopened the game, it was gone completely. Not recommended 👎👎
