What makes a good idle game?

A good idle game makes the next number feel worth waiting for. Each of these four is a line you can add to the first prompt.

  • A first tap that pays

    The opening seconds should earn something you can spend. Aim for the first upgrade inside a minute, so there's a choice to make almost at once.

  • Upgrades that change the game

    Bigger numbers wear thin on their own. The upgrades people remember add something, like a worker who taps for you or a second thing to collect.

  • Earnings that run on their own

    In an idle game, money keeps coming in after the player stops tapping. Say what earns by itself and how quickly, so there's a reason to leave it running.

  • A reset worth taking

    Many idle games offer a prestige reset: start again with a bonus that makes the next run faster. It gives a long game somewhere to go.

Questions about making idle and clicker games

Short answers for your first idle game.

  • Can I make a clicker game without coding?

    Yes. Describe the clicks and the upgrades in plain words, and Tesana's AI writes the code behind them.

  • How do I make a clicker game with AI?

    Tell an AI game maker such as Tesana what the player taps and what the first upgrades do, then play the first version. Change the prices and payouts until each upgrade feels close enough to chase.

  • What's the difference between an idle game and a clicker game?

    How much the player has to do. Clicker games ask you to keep tapping, while idle games carry on earning once they're set up. Most start as one and turn into the other as the upgrades pile up.

  • Can my idle game keep earning while players are away?

    While the game is open, yes: ask for workers or machines that earn without a tap. Earnings that build up while the game is closed need the game to keep a player's progress between visits.

  • How do I balance the upgrades?

    Make each upgrade cost a little more than the one before, and let the early ones pay for themselves quickly. Where players stall, ask Tesana to lower that price or raise what it pays.

  • Can I make an idle game for free?

    You can begin on Tesana's free plan, which is for personal, non-commercial projects. A paid plan is what lets you sell one.
