| Exponential Idle (Video Game) | comment |
Exponential Idle is an Idle Game for smartphones released in 2020. In it, you play as a talented undergraduate student who gets asked by his professor to converge a formula which is an exponential recursive equation into a finite value. Not knowing how to solve it, you make a small program that calculates it for you. As you progress, you start upgrading and using more variables to make numbers grow faster and progress with your research. The game also has some of the largest numbers seen in idle games, with them having the ee notation later on (for example, ee54.129 means 10^(10^54.129)). | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Exponential Idle (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The first three ψ parameter upgrades are more effective than the latter three (at least before the ee11000$ mark), even if their formula is not nearly as complex. | |

Low-Level Advantage | |
| Exponential Idle (Video Game) / int_46fc2236 | comment |
Low-Level Advantage: Oftentimes in theory 9, buying certain upgrades a lot is going to make progress next to impossible due to each purchase raising the power of q which acts as a divisor in lemma 2 for instance. It's why a minus button for each upgrade is always available. The Arrow minigame boasts an Expert difficulty; completing the minigame on said difficulty awards more stars than any other minigame or difficulty. However, it's notoriously difficult, completing the Arrow minigame on Hard twice awards more stars, and it's far quicker. | |

Not Completely Useless | |
| Exponential Idle (Video Game) / int_54ec2f0c | comment |
Not Completely Useless: All the lemmas you prove in theory 9 don't appear to boost anything and are likely to be skippable for most players who don't care for the story. Nevertheless, you still need to finish them if you intend to reach the extreme postgame, as money will be capped at ee50000$ if they're not done. | |

Dump Stat | |
| Exponential Idle (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: Don't be surprised when the boost from x gives 0% profit when compared to other variables, as even if it's free trying to boost something that mostly relies on y and higher variables (like x=64y+2^3*100, when y=15z+2^6*128 which is clearly much higher and there are variables above that) isn't going to work well. The game even gives you the "Why Are You Doing This?" achievement for upgrading it 1000 times. | |

New Game Plus | |
| Exponential Idle (Video Game) / int_637ef67 | comment |
New Game Plus: Doing a Prestige makes you lose all upgrades but gives you a Prestige currency for new upgrades, labeled as μ. An upgrade lets you perform it automatically after a certain time or a certain ratio of db to b is reached, even when the game is off. A long time after that you can eventually do a Supremacy, which makes you restart the game at b=0.001 without prestige upgrades, but it allocates a Supremacy currency for more new upgrades named ψ, making it a New Game+^2. Even later after that you can do a Graduation to reset all normal, Prestige, and Supremacy upgrades, but it grants a new currency named σ that can be spent on upgrades for the ψ parameter or formula modifications that greatly speed up progress, making it a New Game +^3. Once you unlock theories, you can publish a paper in a theory that resets currency earned and upgrades bought while making progress faster, but only inside the theory, making it a New Minigame +. | |

Loads and Loads of Loading | |
| Exponential Idle (Video Game) / int_96181ea7 | comment |
Loads and Loads of Loading: Not initially, but after getting Auto-Prestige and doing it and Supremacy a lot, your super high profits and frequency of Prestige-ing turns so high that it can take several minutes for the phone to calculate how much money you've earned while the game was off and ultimately finish loading. An update added a button that lets you speed up the process by up to 50 times to cut down on the loading time greatly (though there's still a few seconds of loading before that), at the cost of the calculations becoming slightly less accurate. | |

| Exponential Idle (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: The arrow puzzle is the only one with expert difficulty. It gives more stars than hard upon completion, but it also has six possible arrow positions instead of two, making direction management far more finicky. To put it in perspective, the fastest clear time for hard as of August 2021 is 0.44 seconds. For expert? 22.34. | |

A.I.-Generated Economy: You can buy autobuyers for variables and upgrades, with each one pressing the Buy All button at the max setting every second, though it can be sped up. Due to the speed, this may make purchasing upgrades difficult if you have a variable autobuyer and vice versa, though there should be no problems if you have both and you can always turn them off. | |
