Idle Destroyer is a free strategy game you can play right here in your browser. It leans on idle & clicker, retro & arcade and block & tetris-like, so expect a steady difficulty curve. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Idle Destroyer
Idle Destroyer is a classic idle game where you use multiple destroyers with different speeds and strengths, plus extra special abilities to destroy millions of blocks! You will find 6 types of destroyers, dozens of improvements, a system of bonuses and prestige, as well as a system of achievements beloved by many.
How to play Idle Destroyer
There is very little to learn before your first run. It is a mouse-only game, so there is nothing to memorise on the keyboard — which is also why it feels native on a touchscreen. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.

Why it is worth playing
What makes Idle Destroyer stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
