More games to play

Idle World is a creation game where you build a planet out of cubes, starting from the moment after the Big Bang. You spend energy to place land and water, then watch trees, rivers, animals and humans fill in the world you shaped. It is free to play in the browser with no download, and it runs on a school or work machine where browser games are allowed.

What Idle World is about

Idle World is a clicker and simulation game built around one calm loop: spend energy, place cubes, and grow the next layer of a planet. You start with empty space and a few elements, then add ground, water, plants, animals and finally people. There is no countdown and no fail state, so the game is about steady building rather than pressure.

Controls for placing cubes

Idle World uses a single input, so it plays the same with a mouse or on a touchscreen.
