House rules
Five promises every Idlewell game keeps. They are why the studio exists: to show that idle games don’t need ads, timers or pressure to be worth coming back to.
Pay once, no ads.
Optional extras, like a supporter pack or a soundtrack, are cosmetic thank-yous. They never sell power, progress or better odds.
In Tankbar One price on Steam. No ads, no loot boxes, no premium currency, no energy timers.
Odds in the open.
You see the chances before you commit, and nothing is secretly rerolled behind your back.
In Tankbar Eggs show their species and trait odds. Breeding pairs show every possible pattern before you confirm.
Nothing lost for looking away.
Nothing you own is harmed, taken or left to decay because you were busy with your life.
In Tankbar Fish never die, starve or get sick. Breeding never uses up the parents.
Your game, your save.
Our games play offline. Online features are optional and never block the game. Saves are backed up and can be exported.
In Tankbar Works fully offline. Harbor, the online mode, stays off until you switch it on.
Light on your device.
Small footprint, low CPU and battery use, and out of the way whenever you need it to be.
In Tankbar 30 fps by default, pauses when hidden, and a ghost mode that lets every click pass through.
If we break one, tell us.
These rules are meant to be held to. If something in one of our games goes against them, we want to know. A contact address is coming soon.
