How is this supposed to be idle, when you have to micromanage all actions to not die?
This is as "idle" as Mario, if you consider "use pause option to not die" an idle mechanic.
I know the start requires active playing, but as you progress through the game, you can do longer and longer runs and make progress while idle.
I'm sory if the name or tag made you think this game is something else.
I don't think it's a bad game. Maybe you should change the name and the tags. (i.e. It's neither idle, nor incremental as you literally die)
