Idle Acorns is a cute, but way too simple idle game with very little in lieu of interactions, instead offsetting most of its progress on long timers that leave very little to do while you are waiting. The potential was certainly there, with the various game screens - waiting for acorns, fishing, races and cooking - but ultimately systems feed into each other insomuch as they are all gated by a wait for diamonds.
I don’t really have much more to say about the game. It started pretty cute and making then selling acorns felt like it could go somewhere, but then diamonds appeared and everything seemed to revolve around them in order to unlock new mechanics. Many parts of the game seemed like flavor around the core concept of getting diamonds to unlock new places to visit and things to do, so I lost interest really quickly. It doesn’t help that many of the mini-games you get aren’t greatly explained and only occur after a while as passed.
Very cute game, still!
