I like any game that lets me get followers without having to follow other people. Well done.

Numa Numa WILL come back, you'll see. It's just taking a break.

I very rarely stumble upon meta games in LD, so this was pretty novel to me. And I thought it was funny. I got way more out of this than out of No Man's Sky, I'll tell you that.

Haha it took me a while to realize there's nothing to do beside watching my followers go up. Or is there? I guess I'll never know. GG

Nice graphics and music! :) The humor fits the theme very well, I think. More days gone by, but the followers are slow to grow... which make the player feels... sad(?) Good job, btw! :)

I really liked your game even though, featurewise it is, let's say a bit thin, but still for me you've totally won the humor category as well as graphics and audio are really nice. It definitely is a solid entry for sure :)

Plot twist: if you get to 100 followers, you get a cutscene of Trump and Putin making out.

Heh, a literal idle game. Wish I had this many followers IRL. (guess this says something about my social media presence..). A bit unfun, but I guess that's the point!

Fun graphs, interesting idea of a no-game. But the theme's well fitting. Lots of points on humor too.

This was interesting. I understand the idea behind it, infuriating the player, but it really just felt annoying, or not really, as after 10 followers I left the game running in background to check a few times later...

So yeah you don't really do anything in the game, a bit boring, but it is indeed what you intended to so you accomplished it.

The music loop was nice and the pixel art nicely made too. Maybe you should have drawn the smartphone in the same style as the room and items. Congratulations :)

The pixel art/music was good, but as far as the gameplay... :P
