Idle Games
In idle games, you earn coins or other resources to buy upgrades and unlock helpers that complete tasks for you. You start by tapping a button to collect items or completing simple jobs like stocking shelves. Each upgrade makes the task faster, increases its reward or lets a helper do it for you.
Run shops, grow crops, merge matching items or upgrade heroes that attack on their own. You choose the next upgrade while all of the tasks you used to do are being done by your army of helpers.

FAQ
What is an idle game?
An idle game is a type of game that progresses with little input from the player. You start by managing a lot of different tasks but as you unlock new resources like workers to help, these tasks become automated.
What should you upgrade first in an idle game?
Upgrade your slowest task first. In Monkey Mart, improve tired workers or shelves that run out before customers arrive.
Do idle games keep progressing when closed?
Some do, but offline progress depends on the game. Others only keep working while the game remains open.
