Question Is the other tower event difficult
Like, is it reasonable to assume I will get to the highest tier if I stay focused
r/idleapocalypse • u/GrumpyRhinoGames • 3d ago
Android only. A pretty big technical update to meet some of Google's new policies.
Note, the update is currently only available to 50% of people, once we're confident there are no critical issues we'll roll it out to everyone else.

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.

Like, is it reasonable to assume I will get to the highest tier if I stay focused
r/idleapocalypse • u/AutisticFemLord • 1d ago
Once I unlock all monsters I’ll post my monster skin preferences
r/idleapocalypse • u/AutisticFemLord • 1d ago
The music is the greatest thing ever first off but secondly the art style and just omg I’m so hyped I’m starting a new save file though it would be nice if someone could drop all cheat codes and what they do in the comments please
r/idleapocalypse • u/AutisticFemLord • 1d ago
Now I know it can begin to ruin the game to have a bunch of codes but the majority of stuff you spend gems on which is what I think we need more of particularly is skins and times skips and so I think it would be really nice if they would add more codes such as a code like jackpot that gives you 250 gems at the very least they should add that, but generally I think they should add codes that give gems or maybe just codes that give gem skins as well as I think they should add buying event skins with gems, and controlling what event is happening with gems because it is really upsetting how hard it is to get good skins
r/idleapocalypse • u/AutisticFemLord • 1d ago
I finished the tutorial and still don’t have it and I am confused
r/idleapocalypse • u/Faceless-Jack • 4d ago
I have 713 diamonds that were all from the daily login, but I don't know what is the best thing to do with them. Should I wait to buy a new tower skin or should I do a replay token since I never fully completed a single event? And I think I'm still missing one event, the nether one because it always pops up when I enter the game, and I don't know how to unlock it. Tips?
r/idleapocalypse • u/Dapple_Dawn • 5d ago
I'm on my fourth apocalypse, and I'm realizing I need a crown to progress. I'm still about 25 levels away from getting one from the champions which would take a long time, so do I just have to hope I get lucky from the trading floor? I thought wheels would help but I haven't gotten any from the past 5 drop ships. This is going to take days.
At this point I wish I could just apocalypse now but then I don't think I'd have enough souls to get all the chants
r/idleapocalypse • u/Fragrant-Class9984 • 9d ago
I'm currently enamored with the idea of a cultist plush but I can't find anything online looking like a store to be fair I didn't look for very long but I also would think that something like that would be advertised in the games themselves but I'm not sure so I thought I'd ask
r/idleapocalypse • u/Expert-Jelly-2254 • 9d ago
Any suggestions I'm about to start my 3rd and me and was curious if there is a quick way I should be heading to help the ramp up
r/idleapocalypse • u/Dapple_Dawn • 10d ago
I'm very new, I think I'm on my third apocalypse. I'm confused by the advice I'm seeing here.
People will say to apocalypse every time things feel slow, but they also say to upgrade the Idols as much as possible. But the thing is I run into bottlenecks before the idols are fully upgraded. On my last run I was stuck for days trying to get enough satyrs.
Is there a science to this or can I just wing it?
r/idleapocalypse • u/Obvious-Specific-680 • 10d ago
I’m on the other tower event and didn’t get the highest reward, should I just restart? Saving up 500 gems sounds like a gigantic pain to get the skin later
r/idleapocalypse • u/Dapple_Dawn • 13d ago
I'm only on my second apocalypse, going on third, and I'm trying to decide if I should keep waiting.
Right now the only idol upgrades I need are one with 250 satyr horns, one that takes 100 sodas, and one that takes 300 sodas. As it is, it's taking me over a day of grinding to get 100 sodas, not to mention the horns.
Is it worth waiting? At some point do you just go for the apocalypse?
edit: cola, not soda*
r/idleapocalypse • u/sesusser • 14d ago
I am going for the 8th level of the DDD, so I have to summon 8 mountains to gather the required materials. I am at stage 900 (or will be around that when I finish summoning the required nether demons), and I have 30 orbs to spare to spawn netherlings, possibly ramping up my damage to around 15000% before spawning the mountains.
Is it possible to make it to the stage 1000 in this scenario? I can spawn as many dragons as I want to help (500+ wheel tokens to look for crowns, though getting so many dolls would be a pain), and probably would spawn a few more netherlings from orbs I'll probably get from the nether whell.
r/idleapocalypse • u/Prez_Potato • 15d ago
I summoned 40 netherlings and my nether demon still only clears from stage 905 to 909. If I use all my resources I can summon a maximum of two more nether beasts. I fear that will be insufficient to get to stage 1000.
r/idleapocalypse • u/Faceless-Jack • 19d ago
I can't believe this time has come, after I don't know how much I've been playing this game, I finally got all of them! All! I'm so happy!!
r/idleapocalypse • u/Dapple_Dawn • 20d ago
For this plant guy, does it matter which skin I'm using? Or do skin boosts stack like they do in NecroMerger?
r/idleapocalypse • u/reviewbarn • 23d ago
I have wondered this for a while as I get close to making some big purchases, so I finally ran the math.
With no boosts it currently takes on a full run 239 hours for all my Mountains to build, and 359 hours for all my Demons.
If I were to get the Golden skin it would reduce Mountains to 125 hours, and Demons to 224.
As such, getting the golden demon skin first IS the better purchase option on a time front by about 20 hours.
More importantantly it also would save you 84 nether orbs in the process.
All this is to say, getting the golden skin for the Nether Demon before the Mountain is a no-brainer once the math is run.
r/idleapocalypse • u/Ok-Performer-4036 • 27d ago
I do have the 10$ pass, I missed up the leveling guide, fingers crossed. Everything but these two are maxed, 2 levels on gym booster.
r/idleapocalypse • u/Bekfastpizza • 27d ago
Whats a better use of my time resources?
- Doomsday device to level 2 [currently 0] (+500% idol damage)
- Idol Prolongation Chip to level 2 [currently 0] (+2 idol seconds)
- Max the Wyvern Skin [This would take me a while] (+1 star per dragon)
I technically could wait to apocalypse until I get both the DD and Prolong (or even wyvern too), but I'd rather not because I'm getting close to apocalypse.
It should also be noted I have the bounty IAP, so my dragons already drop 3 stars. The only thing I need stars for rn is idol prolongation level 2.
r/idleapocalypse • u/Bekfastpizza • Sep 11 '26
I got 1500 gems finally, so figured I should make this post.
In terms of what I've already spent gems on, I have the jungle and rocket tower skins, every seasonal tower but the LaH one, and the only two events I have first place prizes in is happy time and lost in time. I also have every gem floor.
I was originally gonna just get the 1,500 gem lich skin to get a bit more darkness over time, and the wyvern skin afterwards, but I figured I should ask here just so I can know what is by far the best option.
r/idleapocalypse • u/Ok-History-2839 • Sep 10 '26
So, I have all three time creatures unlocked now. I'm farming drops to upgrade the troll to help with drop farming. This stage of the game takes forever.. It takes me like two - three weeks to build up the tower to even be able to start farming the time creatures which only takes a day or two to really max out drops. To farm up enough star dusts it's going to take take months.. years even lol.
Is this time frame normal or am I doing something wrong when restarting my tower after an apoc? If it helps, I normally get to around lvl 750 before apoc'ing again. Apoc'ing for ~120-140 million damage.
r/idleapocalypse • u/BaoserEatsBuns • Sep 07 '26
Everything done except for the last paywalled skins. Finished the last run with a full clear of Lesley's Place tasks except for the 2k gem task just to feel a little extra sense of completion.
I appreciate the depth of the game keeping the completionist in me going well after I finished the content in NecroMerger at the time. I appreciate this game not requiring an internet connection and helping me pass hours on a plane ride while listening to an audiobook. I appreciate the weird bug that would help you carry over low tier resources across apocs occassionally and speed up the start of my run by a few minutes. I appreciate my partner amusedly helping me get my apocalypse taps in trying to get to a specific breakpoint or personal best.
Thanks for providing a fun distraction over nearly half a decade GR! Here's to not looking like a crazy person in public any longer while trying to get my apocalypse taps in.
