The best idle games for Android and iOS may not always be every gamer’s favorite! The reason is simple too. When most people think about the best Android games, or iOS games for that matter, they tend to imagine multiple actions, controls, and everything. Idle games also known as incremental games and idle clickers – don’t adhere to this concept.
Idle Clickers, as the name says, are often about tapping on the screen to do certain actions. Quite amazingly, these games don’t bore you much. One reason is that their difficulty would increase as you move upward the levels. At times, some levels are time-bound too.
In this article, however, we have created a list of the 18 best idle games that are incredibly addictive. You’ve been warned. Apart from being some decent time-wasters, some of these can get you addicted to the art of clicking.

Of course, there are more ways to earn coins in a game, such as the Fusion bar and the coin collection part. It’s a wonderful clicker game that can’t bore you a bit.

If the tower in the middle is broken, the bad days will begin. The storyline and the graphics of this game are just up to the mark and go back to a retro-style design.

12. Bitcoin Billionaire by Noodlecake Studios Inc
One of the top-rated idle clickers in the domain, Bitcoin Billionaire is also a fortune-making idle game. Instead of cash, however, you are dealing with Bitcoin, the next best thing in the tech world. Because the entire game is based on Bitcoins, you will have a few more things to do. For instance, you can keep tapping on the computer to mine Bitcoins, which is lacking almost all the realism. However, thanks to the retro graphics as well as the clicker control, it’s a wonderful experience too.

As new fishes appear, you will be able to swipe across the screen and catch them. Of course, as an incremental game, it’s perfect for the whole structure. If you are someone who loves casual Android games, you can give it a try.

Great article! I figure it out that I’ve been playing too many games lately, as I’ve played almost all games from the list above!
Maybe, what I was missing were my 2 favorites – Holyday city tycoon – a typical idle project, similar to Adcap game and War Clicks – which isn’t mobile yet, but a perfect game to play on computer.
