A NZ$2.49 idle hero-placement tower defense from solo Chinese developer Yamate whose 30-wave campaign hits the same reproducible, game-breaking bug at wave 23 in two independent reviews a year apart, on top of a broken mana mechanic and unit upgrades that reset every time you quit — a serious flaw in a game built around idling away from the keyboard.
3 / 10
A cheap fantasy-themed clicker from Leakage Games that can be fully completed in a handful of hours, undermined by a genre-breaking design choice — no progress at all while the window isn't in focus.
3 / 10
A NZ$6.29 xianxia-themed idle herb farm from a Chinese solo developer who shipped a near-identical idle game five weeks earlier — a decorative thousand-card compendium and an auto-battling cultivator sit on top of a loop with exactly one real decision, and both patches and the developer's attention stopped inside the first week.
3 / 10
A free-to-play shop-management RPG that ran on Steam for six years, was Mostly Positive the whole time, and then simply stopped existing — servers shut down in 2022, delisted from sale, quietly replaced by a mobile sequel. There is no version of this game you can buy or play today.
3 / 10
A free clicker whose "AFK all you want" pitch is directly contradicted by its own players, who report zero progress while the game isn't actively running — and whose negative corpus mostly isn't complaining about the gameplay at all, but arguing this is a Steam-inventory-item farming vehicle in the mould of Banana rather than an actual idle game.
3 / 10
A cheap, thin desktop-wallpaper colony builder with a review sample too small to trust on its own — but three separate negative reviews independently describe the game running unexpectedly in the background after being closed, a real and specific risk for Steam's own 2-hour refund window.

Read review of Underwater World - Idle Desktop Colony Building Simulator
A NZ$3.19 idle "tycoon" whose entire loop, according to multiple independent reviewers, is buying one of 36 plots and watching it pay a flat 1 coin regardless of price or level — the fourth Boogygames Studios template Wanderer has reviewed, and the thinnest one yet.
2.5 / 10
A bare, aggressively monetised mobile-tapper port whose own paid "Farmer's Pack" is independently reported by multiple reviewers to break the game's economy outright, on top of an idle game that several reviewers say isn't actually idle at all.
