Gridle
An idle game where your machines will keep printing more and more money without even touching them! The game should take around 30 minutes to beat, but the included element of strategy allows careful planners to reach the end even quicker.
How to play:
- Buy a machine from the shop
- Place machine on the grid. It will start printing money on its own
- Click on a machine to upgrade it
Controls
- Left Click: Buy machine / Upgrade machine on grid
- Right Click or R: Cancel placing of a machine / Remove a machine on grid

Fun game ! I've spent way more time than I'd like to admit lol

What buffs bosses? I see their number going up but don't understand what's doing it. Is it leaders? If so, why isn't the number going up by the number of leaders?
i got a time of 31:59 without selling anything,it seemed more fun and restrictive
23:38!
wow , congrats ! i was wondering if anyone has beaten my time yet . did you use more or less the same strategy ? (i showed my steps a few posts below)
29:19! I finally broke 30 minutes. Great game.
26:02 for the current best. I'm still researching on this, and hoping to get down to 23 mins.
37:25, but I zoned out for a second and suddenly had a few quintillion. I can see that my strategy was very un-optimised, I think I probably relied too much on generators and leeches. It's hard to move away from things that have the big numbers on them already.
exponential catalyst growth anyone?
nvm it dont work
23:46 !
what a clever and fun puzzle ! thank you !
my strategy in a montage :
26:32 is my best so far
I didn't know such a simple game could be so fun!
That was fun. Would be interesting to see what kind of optimizations are possible, though trying for super high efficiency sounds as hard as it usually is in a good incremental game. (took me 26:14)
Very cool game
Ready for the boom?
ARGH
can u make one that has no "a lot"?
you dont gotta, but it would be something 4 me to do while at home
this is my 2nd fav idle game, but i want more!
great game, i love it
35:02. cute! fun!
Time: 26:05
that was fun
Broccoli, this game has been out for how long now? Since 2020?
I'm generally an anxious person, but especially whenever I'm on the phone.
I open up Gridle any time I need to be on the phone. Your game is kind of therapeutic, in a way.
I just wanted to say thank you for being so cool.
Granted, I've never done better than about 30 minutes lol
Thank you very much for the kind words! Love to hear the fact that the game has helped with your anxiety.
Hi ! i got recently back to game development and your game inspired me to create https://linorabolini.itch.io/coin-factory
I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration and to bringing me back once again, at least for a little bit, to game development ❤️
Wow! Thank you! That's amazing to hear that my game has inspired you to create your own. I hope you stick with game development, you certainly have a lot of talent. I checked the game out and you have certainly made a very fun experience.
This means a lot, specially coming from you ! Your game inspired me to look back at making games, and that’s huge for me.
Please let me know if you have any further thoughts or advise ! And also i’d you want to be part of a special level or tile, it would be an honor.
love your game
Hey, I just wanted to say that I love your game, especially the desing. Althought, I would love if you add an factory upgrade kind of thing, like making the process of making the coin production faster, but if you think this would ruin the game essence, it's fine
for faster production you can play the daily maps !
The other one is kind of a sandbox mode :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it !
28:08, cool game
It is a super simple and fun automation game. Speed runs are possible, making it replayable with different strategies and set-ups to get to 1Qa fastest. However, I do believe there could have been more content and maybe game modes. Overall a nice and decent game.
35:26 on the first try
nice game!
28:11
rn i have 20 gen, 4 leeches 1 leader
rn leech gets 25 per 5 cycles si 5$ per sec per sec

doing the multi leech strat with 4 taskmasters
but 8 leeches instead of 5
leaders*
Love it
31:32 (first play-through)
Cool minimalistic concept
fun game
Good
37:27 splendid game
this game super fun
31:45 second time
noice, I got 29:59 second time
31:52 first time
A good update would be a Grid enlargment upgrade system
I understand that this isn't super easy to add, but I don't think it would be taking that much time away from you if you work on it at your own pace.
You can also add more "units" I don't have any ideas for types to add, but you can always make a poll list for people to vote here and on social medias, this small game can become larger. It's popularity depends on your effort.
I swear i didnt do it on purpose i just went idle and got the black hole and got this
ummm.. this is normal?
hol'up how
