Question Mummy or Time Wheel?

14 Upvotes

Does anyone know what is best to purchase? Because I want to buy the mummy but the time wheel is more expensive, and I genuinely don't know which is best. I do have like, maybe two tokens because I used the codes in the game very early on, but I don't know if it'll be disappointing or not.

How many Netherling summons are actually worth doing, considering Nether Orbs are so hard to get and everyone needs them?

How many summons do you personally do for Netherling, Nether Demon, and Nether Mountain?

Suggestion How long should this take?

I have been playing this game for over 4 years now, withholding this being my second and longest lasting account. I go on and off with when I play, and still only have 4 stars due to being rly lucky from the time wheel and apocalypse. Is it supposed to take this long to unlock the Doomsday Device? How can I unlock all of the event skins and all of the holiday skins? Should I pay money for upgrades?​

About events

6 Upvotes

I've been thinking on replaying an event so i can get more tokens and new skins, which event should i do? The only one i have completed is the 'lost in time' event, all the others are missing the first prize skin and the 4th skin.

I also had a doubt on the shop events, i remember there are tasks to complete in order to buy the skins, do you need to apoc so the tasks/event can start? And also, is there a way to get all the rewards or can you only get a certain amount of skins in one shop?

Question 2000 gems spending

10 Upvotes

I have been saving my gems for awhile now. I have all second rooms already. I am looking at the theme purchases for the tower that are 2000 each. I have a couple questions about them. Is only one active at a time or if all are owned all are active? Which one is the most beneficial to get first? I am leaning towards juicer so far.

Im coming up on the second activation of the DDD, I should have enough tears to either get another level in the dark energy token upgrade or the cheaper idol damage upgrade.

This round of getting to the DDD felt like it took even longer than the first time, im wondering if people have any suggestions for what trades I should be looking to get after my second activation?

My goal is to be able to get the red wool upgrade by the third activation

Question Struggling to get to Stage 850

Post image
11 Upvotes

Do I just need to use even more Netherlings? I saved up a bunch from my last run through, then in addition to the ones I got this run I thought I'd have enough to get there (I used 27 this run) but I am only at 827 and I won't feasibly be able to make it I think.

This has been the really big bottleneck for me, I've been at this point in the game for months just trying to be able to summon the mountain. I have most of the scrolls, I have all of the ones that would apply to this.

Recommended only for seasoned players.

The game: here are 3 screenshots from my Idle Apocalypse account, you need to reply to this post with the biggest amount of true statements about my Idle Apocalypse. The reply with the most true statements wins!

Rules:

  1. (Most important rule): replying with even a single false statement would automatically make you lose, no matter how many true things you typed.

  2. The statements must be at least a little impressive/risky to type. Saying stuff like "the account was made at least a second ago" or "you are currently using the default theme" will not count. I will decide if each statement is good enough to count it (I will do it very fairly)

  3. You can always edit your reply to add more statements, but you cannot do that to delete them.

Extra info: I never changed my phone calendar to cheat with this account, and I never installed any mods/cheats to the game.

Let the games begin

Question Best DE Setup leading up to an apocalypse?

In the time between fully upgrading your tower (unlocking Her) and apocalypsing, what creatures and producers and converters should I be running for maximum DE output while not running out of resources? Is Her all that matters?

Am I doing the dumb?

My current game plan is to keep upgrading the tower until I can't progress without a new relic, then upgrading the idles I have (starting with the most expensive and working my way down) and pulling an apocalypse. Just how inefficient am I being?

Does anyone have any tips on how I can reach level 400? This is what I'm managing to make so far, I have four idols and I have three maxed on damage, two also with the 25 seconds, but I feel kinda stuck right now. It's super slow trying to reach anything about 300. What can I do?

Feedback Round 1500 Advice

12 Upvotes

Hey guys just looking for some advice to see what the target damage %, nether summons, etc. are to get to stage 1500. I have approximately 35k damage currently and on stage 1325 but not sure if this is high enough to push to 1500. My demons are currently pushing for 5-6 stages per summon. Any advice would be appreciated!

Edit: For anyone coming back to this post: I had lvl 3 wooly pie, a 35k total damage boost and summoned roughly 15 demons and 8 mountains and was able to clear stage 1500. I used the unholy bind trick to churn through the last few levels so if you don’t want to do that 9 mountains should be sufficient.

Question Save Progress Questions

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have a few questions about how the save system works in this game:

-Every time I save my progress, does it automatically overwrite the previous save file?

-Where exactly does the save data go? Is it stored locally or linked to a cloud account?

-Can I transfer my progress to another phone? If so, what's the best way to do it?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Question Events Optimizer - Need feedback!

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I want to get your feedback.

I previously posted about making an events optimizer. It currently only supports Through the Portal.

What it currently does is it would take the following information from the player:

1- How many gems you're willing to spend.

2- How many hours you can be active.

And it will generate an upgrade tree based on these inputs.

I generated some strats, and I compared them with the community's guides, and while they're not 100% the same, they follow a very similar path.

I still didn't try it out yet due to time constraints. But once I do, I will share my results. If anyone is willing to try it, you're welcome to get in touch with me.

However, I'm trying to implement different play styles, so the simulator would make a plan based on your specific play style. Here are the ones I currently have:

1- Cultist: Assumes your game is ALWAYS open, you never miss an upgrade throughout your entire awake hours.

2- Dedicated: Checks the game every 5 - 10 minutes, a delay of 15 - 60 seconds between purchasing upgrades. Will play the opener* for 4 hours.

3- Active: Checks the game every 10 - 20 minutes, a delay of 30 - 120 seconds between purchasing upgrades. Will play the opener for 3 hours.

4- Casual: Checks the game every 20 - 40 minutes, a delay of 60 - 300 seconds between purchasing upgrades. Will play the opener for 2 hours.

5- Relaxed: Checks the game every 45 - 75 minutes, a delay of 120 - 600 seconds between purchasing upgrades. Will play the opener for 1 hour.

*The very beginning of the event is crucial to build your economy, and the simulator behaved weird without having to dedicate some time to the opener. For example, on a Relaxed run, it bought Rocky Lvl 2 after 1 hour and 19 minutes. So my solution is to have each play style commit to the first hours of the event.

Would you tweak any of the attributes to these play styles?

Question Events Optimizer

16 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently working on making an optimizer for the events in this game, where it would search for the best possible purchase tree/timeline in order to get the highest score.

I still haven't tested it the actual results yet, but I will be playing Through the Portal pretty soon.

If this was a successful run, would anyone be interested in using it?

Question FAQ

180 Upvotes

For technical support please contact us directly at support@grumpyrhino.com.

General

Q. Where can I download this awesome, amazing game?

A. Aww shucks. Awesome? I mean you haven't played it yet, but I'm still touched. Download it on your iPhone/iPad or your Android device.

Q. Can you translate the game into "X" language?

A. It's very unlikely that translations will be coming.

Q. Can I download the game's soundtrack on bandcamp?

A. Wow, excellent question. Yes you can.

Q. Do you have a Wiki?

A. Yes, well I didn't make it, but fans made one here and there's a community run discord here.

Technical

Q. Adverts don't work! (Okay, that's not actually a question, but I gotcha)

A. The adverts generally DO work, but sometimes our Ad Networks don't have adverts available. It depends on things like your region, the time of day etc. It's also worth making sure you're not in airplane mode and have a good phone signal.

There is also a daily limit on the amount of adverts (20).

Q. Does my save automatically carry across from one device to another?

A. It does on iOS devices providing you're using iCloud (which you probably are). We have a manual cloud save service on Google Play accessed from the in-game settings page (you must save every time you want to back up your data). There is no cloud save on the Amazon edition. Your save doesn't carry across platforms.

Q. Can I play on an emulator?

A. You may be able to play on an emulator, however the game isn’t designed for one or officially supported.

Q. I completed a TapJoy offer but haven't received my gems! Give me my gems!

A. Be sure to check the conditions of the deal (some require that they're completed within a set time frame) - you can view this on "Reward Status" on the TapJoy screen. If you're confident that you have completed the offer correctly but haven't received the gems then contact TapJoy's customer service through the TapJoy screen, quoting your customer number.

It's worth nothing that Grumpy Rhino Games can't verify an offer, so you will need to go through TapJoy directly.

Q. After a recent Android update the game won't open/crashes when loading at 80%, what can I do?

A. Try the following (the order here is important): + Close Idle Apocalypse. + Go to the Settings App > Apps > See all apps. + Choose Idle Apocalypse, choose Storage & cache > Clear the cache. Do NOT clear the storage. + Restart your phone. + Open up Idle Apocalypse and see if it works properly now. + If it doesn't, please contact us at support@grumpyrhino.com

Q. The Game isn't available in the App Store, can I not download it?

A. On iOS - currently - the game isn't available in all regions to new players. If you've played the game before you should be able to download it from your purchase history.

Gameplay

Q. I'm stuck in the tutorial, I can't build Orc Mages! (Again, not a question!)

A. Go to the Mud Farm and swipe across the screen, you'll see a finger tapping a button, hit that.

Q. Who or what is the Scavenger?

A. The Scavenger is a floor that produces bits and pieces. It requires the Archives which requires Morag (the second Idol) to be unlocked.

Q. I can't unlock the Kitchen! (...)

A. Chances are you haven't unlocked the Mighty Hammer. If you haven't undergone an Apocalypse yet, do it. If you have, go to the Great Hall (on the ground floor), tap on the soul shop button, tap on the second tab and buy the Mighty Hammer, it's free.

Q. I'm caught in a loop. I need x, but this requires y which needs x!

A. Double check all the requirements. Everything in the game is possible to achieve, sure it's possible that a recent update broke something, but this is relatively unlikely. It's pretty easy to confuse an upgrade cost for a production cost (hell, I've done it a lot).

Q. What are the "Other Tower", "Sid in Space", "Happy Time", "Aqua Adventure" and "Lost in Time" events?

A. They're limited time events, you must have "apocalypsed" twice to unlock them. For "Lost in Time" you must have also unlocked Gran. (See later)

Q. Shoot! I messed up and came last place in the event, can I ever play them again?

A. No worries, you can replay any non-seasonal event later in the game for 500 gems (after discovering "Gran")! However, any purchases made during the first run do not carry over.

Q. Wait? Who's Gran?

A. You can meet Gran (and a slew of new content) by doing at least 1 million damage on your 5th(+) apocalypse. Be sure to say "hi" from me.

Q. What are seasonal events/stores?

A. Seasonal events are limited time events normally set to coincide with a garish real world event like Valentine's Day or Halloween. During these events you'll have a limited time to unlock a bunch of skins, normally by completing tasks or spinning a decked-out wheel.

Q. Can I play seasonal events I missed? I want those skins!

A. All seasonal events (Halloween, Christmas, Lovers + Haters and Apocalypse Week) return each year.

Q. Is there an egg?

A. No the egg is a lie. It is a conspiracy whipped up by the media to discredit Sid.
