Since I´m at 100% I wonder if there are any other good idle games like this one.

Can someone recommend a good idle?

FE000000 is rather similar to this game, but eventually diverges and becomes something very different and interesting. check it out at https://dan-simon.github.io/misc/fe000000/ (no steam version.)

Also, if you import the term "aero" as a save and then click the X on the theme, you can open the games folder which has a few more.

There's quite a few pretty decent idle games out there, but I honestly haven't found another one that plays anything remotely like AD that's actually a quality game as well.

There's ones with way more gameplay mechanics, and ones that are overall way more simple, but it's largely hit or miss if you'd enjoy them.

Like, I'd consider Leaf Blower Revolution to be one of the best idle games around, but it plays quite literally almost nothing like AD does lol. Which is also largely why I'd consider it one of the better idle games around, because it has ACTUAL gameplay, with skill-based elements, while still very much being an idle game, unlike certain games.

The ones I'd personally recommend would be LBR, NGU Idle, Wizard's Wheel 2 and Idle Skilling - None of them are remotely similar to AD, but are all fairly quality idle experiences with unique gameplay elements that end up getting pretty deep after a while.

Also I guess I can recommend Trimps, though just be aware that the early game is horrible, so if you think there's any chance you could potentially end up enjoying the gameplay loop, consider giving it a few weeks. Because seriously, the early game legitimately sucks. It becomes significantly more interesting of a game once you reach the point you unlock warpstations.

Orb of Creation is pretty damn good. Instead of swapping around time studies, you're swapping around different alchemies and spells to meet the requirements of upgrades so you can progress deeper.

It's unfinished though and updates are slow but I absolutely loved it.

I should give that more of a go then, I don't think I quite got past early game.

NG+++ is a mod of Antimatter Dimensions which I believe is available for free. It has a ton of new content you've never seen before. https://ng-plus-plus-plus.fandom.com/wiki/NG%2B%2B%2B_Wiki

I haven't played it, but people seem to like it. I can also second NGU Idle

I used to play Leaf Blower Revolution, but it has some serious memory leaks that prevent it from sitting in the background for extended periods.

I second NGU Idle, haven't played Wizard's Wheel 2, but Idle Skilling is created by a narcissistic POS who will ban you from the community if you dare to criticise the game. The game is good, but the developer is a garbage person. So if you decide to play it, just be aware of that.

if you want a genuinely good idle game, synergism fits well, especially since its got a boatload of content and is actually quite balanced considering theres no microtransactions, and you can donate to the dev's patreon though that affects upgrades everyone can use

Increlution is on Steam and a good idle game and addicting.

honest to god i adored idle skilling before the p2w eyes came into existence, its still a genuinely good game but you physically cannot get the eyes without paying aside from the free ones you get when you first get afterlife or whatnot, LBR is quite funky but i can understand it being one of the best idle games, NGU idle becomes a mess after a certain point because you basically end up being forced to either look up a guide or try to find help for most of the late-endgame content, but its still got a genuinely solid early-midgame though i cant lie, havent tried wizard's wheel 2 though so i might actually look into that one too.

Increlution & NGU Idle, D&D has one, Incremental Adventures is also good.
