Idle tap games are kind of a weird genre in gaming. The mechanics are super simple. You tap on the screen to generate a thing or you simply wait for that thing to generate on its own. You upgrade various things to make each click worth more or generate more stuff over the same period of time. That sounds more complicated than it really is. You basically click, wait, upgrade, and repeat. There are actually a ton of idle click games on mobile. It was honestly tough bringing the list down to ten, but we managed to do it. Here are the best idle tap games for Android. You can also check out Naquatic idle tap games and this super interesting (but old) tap game if you want two more options.
AdVenture Capitalist is one of the most popular idle tap games on Android. It plays like a fairly typical tap game. You tap on the screen to earn money and then upgrade your business to earn more money passively. It is a large game with a bunch of stuff to upgrade. The game scales up in a satisfactory manner. You also hire employees, attract investors, and get your business as profitable as possible. It's a little less tap and a little more idle, but it's otherwise a good experience. Of course, it does get repetitive as well.
Almost a Hero is an idle tap RPG. It's a little more involved than other idle tap games, but that's okay. Your adventurers adventure even when you're not playing the game. Players also get the tap mechanic when battling bad guys. You get 15 heroes, various upgrades, and plenty of missions to play through. It even has side quests, secret areas, and other such stuff. We really like that it's more than just a standard idle clicker. However, those who want the easiest possible experience may need to look elsewhere. This game is also a freemium game. We didn't see any problems with it, but it may matter to you.
Bitcoin Billionaire saw a lot of popularity when Bitcoin was big news. Thankfully, it's still a good idle clicker. It works like most other games. You start small with a bunch of clicks and slowly transition into the idle part with various upgrades. You spend money on investments (upgrades) and try to get that number as high as possible. The game also features achievements, various bonuses, and you can even adopt pets (or robots). Noodlecake Studios did well with this one, but there isn't much else to talk about with this one.
Clickpocalypse II has less polished graphics, but it's one of the best idle click games we played with during testing. Players create a party of heroes to explore all of the various dungeons and kill many, many bad guys. You can also find items, upgrade your abilities, and earn various achievements. Of course, your characters can learn a bunch of abilities too. You raid dungeons and each one has a loot chance. The graphics won't win any awards, but the game play is a little bit more complex than most clicker games. This one is entirely free with advertising. We would've liked a way to remove those ads, but it's otherwise a great game for those who can't stand the freemium model.
Cookies Inc is another popular idle click game, but this one has a bunch of cookies. Players click to make and collect cookies. The cookies give you money that you use to upgrade your business to generate more cookies and, by extension, more money. There are bonuses in the form of special bakeries and abilities to temporarily earn a lot more money all at once. It has a great and awesome theme, but in practice it plays like most idle tap games. This one also comes with social elements so you can play with friends, offline support, and there's even an auto-clicker function as a special ability. There is actually a way to get $50 million in the first three minutes. We didn't, but you might!
Egg. Inc is another very popular idle tap game. A lot of people who are fans of this genre know about this one. You start a farm, tap to generate some profits, and then build the farm to generate profits when idle. You can hire employees to move things along more quickly and it has more simulation elements than many idle tap games. There are also missions, Google Play Games achievements, leaderboards, and there are even some modern augmented reality features. This one is definitely toward the top of this genre. It does get repetitive over time, though, but that's true for most idle games.
Idle Miner Tycoon has more Google Play reviews than any other idle tap game on this list. It's your fairly standard idle game. You start with nothing, tap for a while, upgrade your stuff, and earn tons of stuff while it's idle. Players can hire managers to move things along, explore more than 20 mines, and you can mine for over 15 different resources, each with their own value. The game supports offline play, has decent graphics, simple controls, and we didn't see any unreasonable bugs. It's a freemium game, but that's kind of typical for this genre. We can see why this one is one of the most popular idle tap games.
Illuminati Adventure is a newer idle tap game. Players take various jobs to become profitable. In addition, there is a passive business with a bunch of upgrades and bonuses to get you more money while you're not playing. There isn't a whole ton of unique stuff in this one. However, there are a bunch of morally bankrupt business ventures to get yourself included in. That adds its own little bit of entertainment. The pacing is quite good as well. There's supposed to be a lesson there about corruption and such, but it's not really that obvious.
Tap Titans 2 is an idle tap game with RPG elements very similar to Clickpocalypse II or Almost a Hero. Your clicks deal damage to monsters and your quests earn you stuff while the game is idle. The game features 120 Titans, a pet system, various skills, a bunch of stuff to collect, and even some social elements. The social elements in particular are rarities in the idle genre. This one is actually more of a tap game than an idle game but it does still have idle elements. User reviews tend to agree that the game is just a touch more greedy than the first one, but it doens't ruin the experience by any means. This one is a freemium game as per the norm.
Tower of Hero is a bit of a wildcard on this list. Players tap to destroy monsters. You then fill the dungeon with up to 100 heroes. Each new hero and piece of gear delivers more damage to the monsters. There is a lot to like about this one. The ads aren't too bad. We counted one banner ad and the video ads are triggered by players. The scaling is also quite good as is the loot and reward system. There is a social ranking element and because it's a freemium game, the top tier of players usually aren't free-to-play players. Otherwise, this one is a fun little tapper.
