About the Game

Everyone likes numbers that go up. Play NGU IDLE and get the exciting rush of so many numbers going up!

The #1 rated Idle Game on Kongregate is now headed its way to Steam! Experience the stupidity of NGU IDLE and get:

  • Regular updates!
  • An RPG and inventory system!
  • Loot over 350 hand-drawn and unique equipment, consumables, quest items, you name it!
  • Over 300 bosses, each with their own hand-drawn art!
  • A metric buttload of upgrades! Even your upgrades have upgrades! I love typing the word upgrade! UPGRADE.
  • Unfolding features the further you progress!
  • Fight weird Bosses like a flock of Canada Geese or a giant Sundae!
  • A really weird and funny story if you’re into that.
  • A mix of Idle and Active play to satisfy everyone except really grumpy people.
  • A Badly drawn Kitty!
  • Progress Bars everywhere!
  • A 9000+ member Discord to ask your newbie questions and brag about your numbers going up.
  • Premium currency you can PASSIVELY OBTAIN at a decent pace, without paying a cent. Only toss me some cash because you want to, not because you need to in order to progress.
  • A snarky, very active dev who you can personally harass on Discord if you want! (be gentle)
  • Awful Puns.
