NGU IDLE (2019)
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.

Content Notes
Some cartoonish depictions of butts are seen, and coarse language is used throughout the game. Honestly, this is more of an *immature* content description.
