What players say

Players say Idle Spiral is a purist idle game, far more passive than Cookie Clicker or Antimatter Dimensions, with most time spent waiting. Progress is extremely slow, prestige costs escalate into ten-digit numbers, and completing everything would take hundreds of thousands of hours. Some report progress lost during offline play, and long-time players note development stopped.
