NGU Idle?

[JRoy]

Anyone play NGU Idle? This is like 100% a copy of it. Same logic, same code I bet. Just different graphics.

[imortus]

There are hundreds of games like it; it is a very prolific genre.

I'm not sure which came first, but I suspect others preceded even NGU.

Before it was released on steam, there was someone asking about it being similar to NGU and the dev responded specifically stating that it was heavily inspired by the game.

i was playing NGU Idle but i reached a point where it was taking me days to progress a little bit so i gave up.
i will do the same with this1 when i reach that point

Ever played Anti Idle?

Same logic, HAS to be the same code right? Oh darn it was written before NGU.

This game feels different enough to me, and the minmax of stats is a bit different than ngus which was more just knowing when to level what instead of what to skill up etc.

You're comparing this to one of the best idle games ever? Absurd. They are nothing alike.

Best is subjective. For example, I will never be able to play NGU legit because of how ungodly slow every single aspect of the game was in the way of progress. It's got polish but I wouldn't call it "one of the best", not by a long shot.

I play NGU Idle. I think this game got some good inspiration from NGU and that's OK. There's nothing wrong with copying some of the good things from a good game so long as you add some of your own.I just started this game and am still figuring it out, My familiarity with NGU is helping me in this game. NGU is the "Cream Of The Crop" when it comes to idle games and any new idler that wants to be good will have no choice but to emulate some of it.

Games are inspired by or have ideas from other games and implement them in different ways. Copy? No. Just because it's an idler doesn't mean it's copying anything. I'm sure the developer of NGU got inspired by another title and the way a game worked and wanted to do their on take on it. People need to understand that games aren't copies of copies, but more on inspiration and self-implementation from ideas of other games mechanics, systems, etc. This has always been a thing within gaming, movies, shows, products, etc -- and will ALWAYS be a thing.

I agree, i wasted a fair amount of time in ngu, got really tired of the devs humor.

anti-idle has a different UI and no cores. this game lifts both of these from NGU

[Horde]

It feels inspired by it for sure. About as much as saying C&C was inspired by Risk. It actually feels like this came first because of the simplicity in comparison. Maybe that'll change while it's being worked on.

NGU Idle is just a stripped down Idling To Rule The Gods... All games take ideas from each other, its the way any genre evolves.

[JRoy]

The systems are the same , the icons along the left are the same. The soul functions are the same. The boss functions are the same. The card concept, the Awaking concept. Memories are the same.

So far I havent seen anything to this game that is unique at all other then its premise of being a more like a dungeon crawler, where NGU idle was more silly.

[Kelindel]

anti-idle on kongregate is the oldest example i can recall, same UI and all, NGU came to kong like 2017 or something, multi years atfer that. stop calling all games that share a genre and are less popular than the example of the genre clones please >:(
