A downloadable game for Windows

Made and finished in about a week, Idle Blasters is an idea I've wanted to make for a while now. I played a game called Idle Bouncer, and it quickly became my favorite idle game ever. The game was less about "how quickly can you get carpal tunnel?" and more about "how can I optimize my money output?" Idle Blasters is a loveletter to that style of idle games.


Use WASD or arrow keys to move, you can also left click to move slowly, in case you need to move just a tiny bit.

Right click on the upper half of the screen to change the direction of your bullets.

Rick click on the bottom half of the screen to select which unit you control.

Remember to save often! Autosave only happens every 10 minutes!


Also hey, just for fun, check out this super old screenshot!

lol old

Wow wee, what a glow-up


Due to me being a moron, this game doesn't work in HTML, even though I kinda wish it did! Idle games always kinda felt perfect for browsers, instead of having to download a whole EXE. I might recode some of the game down the line so it actually works in HTML, but for the time being - you gotta download it :(


If your antivirus prevents you from opening the game, add an exception for it! The process of doing that is a little different for every antivirus, but it wont be too hard to find a tutorial on how to do that online. Just search something like "<your antivirus name> how to add an exception"

how do i get different bullets

When you click the Loop button (the little looping icon in the top-right), you'll lose your progress, but you'll have "Loop Coins" to spend (you get Loop Coins by buying coin multiplier upgrades). You can then use the Loop Coins to buy different bullet types.
