It's an IDLE game, leave it on when you leave... platform is irrelevant.
You don't even have to run it all day, as it has offline mode (;))
May be the case.
But why would you want to pick the game up in different devices? I don't get this idea.
If you are going to play the game whilst on your way to work (if that is the thing for you) or just out and the bout. And YOU know you will do this forever, pick ANDROID.
If you know you have a desktop computer where you play all other games on and you play them on one client, you pick STEAM
If you are on desktop still but you hate steam, you pick KONGREGATE
And if you don't like that, you pick CNE's player (is it called GNL? something like that)
If you don't have a desktop computer, yet play video games on a console, then you pick PS4 version.
There are plenty of options for you. But this is when I go, you didn't actually want to play this game, as you chose a reason to excuse yourself. Like how I know when people don't actually want to do something, as they generally make every excuse under the sun not to do that one thing.
Ahh a question as dated as the game I see. It's common sense really, if I wanna play it I'd use pc, if I wanna leave it on idle I'd use the phone. In case you also don't know why it's better to idle on a phone than a pc then there are several reasons. One, less power consumption in case you are not using the pc anyway. Two, even if you are using the pc you might want to play other games with it or even do other stuff so you'd prefer that another app isn't sharing your ram and cpu(cause not all people have high end pcs). There's also this thing called portability which means even if I am a hardcore pc gamer who likes to play everything in pc, when I go on vacations or commute then it is far more convenient to check my progress on the phone. I mean majority of devs and players get this, Idk why this one doesn't. It's not like it's the early 2000s and the technology isn't there yet.
Anyway I just tried this on phone and found out it's basically an online single player which doesn't make sense. If I wanted a solo player game(and I meant on all genres not just idlers) I'd just get one of the offline ones. What even is the point of having an online solo game?
And I was correct. :)
Why complain when you don't want to play a thing is beyond me.
Because I wasn't complaining? I was looking for a new game, checked if this has the things I need, found out it doesn't so I moved on. Why you can't is beyond me.
Your last message is a contradiction then :)
A pc (personal computer) like the mini smart-tablet you use for gaming/texting/calling these days is still a pc.
You wanna use your phone, a phone is a think you call with without processing power (Look it up)
Anyhow, at the risk of sounding degrading (which isn't the intent here):
You still won't need a cross platform, if you're on a commute and run any online idle game that runs well on your phone you can connect it through your desktop (or laptop) pc easily. The Idle game will run properly when used in this manner.
IF powersavings is a thing for you, then you will not have any mobile devices so that kinda breaks that argument. (Unless you're one of those people who claim to do everything they can to reduce co2 emissions but still take a plane on vacation 3 times a year, then please continue being smart.)
Mobile devices are known to be energy inefficient, an energy efficient lightweight smallscreen on batteries will run the game tho, but won't work while commuting since that would require your modem/router to be online which drains more power than your PC will.
Point here being:
I assume you're not really into energy efficiency, with that in mind:
You can play any idle game perfectly fine on your android, either with a home setup running it and connecting remotely or by a 99-cent online rent which all your platforms can connect to remotely (All being, MacOS, DOS and Unix-a-like OS's)
I seem to remember there was a post about this from Codename Entertainment, the issue was something to do with them not being able to synchronise updates across both platforms at the same time, though i cant recall the specifics. May also have been mention that they saw the two sets of players as distinct so felt no need to address it
