This idle game stands out with an interesting yet initially confusing premise. At first, I didn't quite understand what to do, so I set it aside. But when I returned, I discovered that it's actually pretty accessible once you get the hang of balancing upgrades and prestige points. I even let it run overnight—by morning, I had maxed out all achievements and prestige upgrades! That said, there are a couple of minor frustrations. Having to click on every field individually to build structures is a bit tedious—it would be much better if you could select an entire area. Plus, the performance takes a hit as you accumulate more buildings, sometimes dropping down to 20 fps. Overall, though, it's a good game for free, and the criticism seems a bit overblown.

very fun got all achievements in 108 minutes compacter make the game laggy if you have a lot down other than that the game is fun i prestige about 5 times selling everything gives more money to give more prestige and it makes it easier over all great game
The game needs an option to disable building animations. No matter what computer you use you will be lagging. Game is over in about 15-30 minutes depending on how well you optimize (I was pretty slow on the optimization as upgrading factories later on is actually a bad thing)
The game starts well but this fades away soon, simply because when you lay out many buildings cpu goes over 60% and it lags like hell so it cannot be managed at all. Animations are playing nonstop, the screen cannot be scrolled around so you have to zoom away and pray for a miracle. Apart from that, it seems like a typical incremental game, i would be more positive towards it if it was at least playable. I hope it will get fixed as besides that it's not a bad game. For achievement hunters, all achievements are possible in about 3 hours. Unfortunately, as it is now, no. [5/10]
scale is too small to read anything
Doesn't have much to do from what I can see, prestige system is a bit wonky since it appears you don't get the bonus from the first prestige purchases until after you do the second. I've spent loads of time on games like Anti Idle, Trimps, Realm Grinder, and other idle games, this one is pretty bland and uninspired, it lacks depth from what I can see.
the game has a good start but only about 30 minutes of content so far. mark it as early access so that people have a clear expectation. I did not even want to do the prestige and start over - all buildings were already unlocked and available. so make another couple buildings that you *must* prestige to reasonably get. one building did not even work (compactor)
Игра "Idle Grid" – это удивительно затягивающий тайм-киллер для любителей idle-игр. Простой, но при этом увлекательный геймплей заключается в оптимизации сетки, соединении ресурсов и прокачке различных элементов. Сначала всё кажется элементарным, но по мере развития появляются новые механики и вызовы, заставляющие тщательно планировать каждый шаг. Визуально игра приятна и минималистична, не перегружает лишними деталями. Прогрессия чувствуется хорошо, постоянный приток ресурсов и возможность улучшать постройки мотивируют возвращаться в игру снова и снова. Приятно, что можно играть как активно, оптимизируя всё вручную, так и пассивно, наблюдая, как сетка генерирует ресурсы сама по себе. Однако, иногда темп развития кажется немного медленным, особенно на поздних этапах. Хотелось бы больше разнообразия в обновлениях и возможностях кастомизации. В целом, "Idle Grid" – отличная игра, которая позволит приятно провести время, наблюдая за тем, как простая сетка превращается в сложную и эффективную машину для производства ресурсов. Рекомендую тем, кто ищет ненавязчивую и увлекательную idle игру.
I recommend this game because it has a short, simple theme and the premise is really straightforward which is : you build a factory, expand it, and earn more income. However, there are some problems that make the game a bit confusing. It took me around 3–5 minutes to figure out what I was supposed to do. There’s no tutorial and the game just leaves the player on their own. Again, the game isn’t very polished. I understand the gameplay, but it feels too straightforward with very simple mechanics for an “idle” type game. Another thing I noticed is that this game lags so much and the cause of it seems either the logic behind game or the game engine itself. One more thing to mention, this is an “idle” game, please consider optimizing it since it’s a free game, its market range is wider than pay-to-play games, meaning it can reach low-end device players as well. Sorry, but at this point, it leans more toward “not recommended.”
