History VideoGame / AntiIdleTheGame

* HardModePerks: Playing on Hardcore mode in ''Battle Arena'' gives more EXP and Pixels. Additional difficulty modifiers like Worst Moon or Apocalypse increase the chance of Epic Monsters appearing, which give even more EXP, Pixels and loot drops.

* BoldInflation: A few boss names in ''BattleArena'' are spelled this way, most notably THE MEGABOSS and Chaos's OneWingedAngel form, CHAOS (yes, the only difference is the capitalization).

* ButtonMashing: The Button Machine. You click on the button to get rewards; the closer to the center of the button you click, the better. The button also moves back and forth on a track, and occasionally breaks, but can be fixed with Yellow Coins.

* TheArtifact: The "Max Combo" secret achievement. [[spoiler:Originally, once you hit 10,000 combo in ''Battle Arena'', the combo counter would stop increasing and the game would display "MAX Combo" instead. The combo cap has since been raised, but you still get the achievement at 10,000 combo.]]

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The Dragon of Wisdom. Feed him Coins and he'll give you advice. Feed him more and you can get Dragon Boosts, which add to your Boost gauge capacity.

* SinisterGeometry: Triangles. Triangles appear in the Battle Arena in Triangle Land, the final area of the main path, and are the toughest enemies along said path. They also appear in Triangle Hideout as an endless line of high-reward, high-difficulty boss monsters. They're also responsible for an event in 2011 that, among other things, [[spoiler:destroyed the player's House, which hasn't come back since despite being promised in a future update for the past nine years.]] Additionally, the FinalBoss, the Ascendant, is a triangle too.

* HarderThanHard: Completing enough Medium Ascensions will unlock Hard Ascensions, which will strip out a lot of NewGamePlus bonuses and make some elements of the game more difficult. Beyond ''that'' are Impossible Ascensions.

* EasyModeMockery: Turning on Unranked mode in ''Arcade'' allows you to use buffs that make the games easier. Originally, the penalty for playing in Unranked was that you could not upload your high scores to Kongregate. However, this penalty is pretty much meaningless for anyone who doesn't pursue the leaderboards, and making the game playable offline makes this penalty entirely obsolete, so version 1833 (August 19, 2020) introduces the Rating system, in which achieving high scores in Ranked mode (and not Unranked) will increase your Rating, giving you better rewards as it improves.

* CastFromMoney: Downplayed with Battle Arena skill "Pixel Throw", which costs exactly 1 Pixel (Battle Arena's main currency).

** Most Arcade games last for as long as you can survive.

Tukkun has said that a sequel is planned.

* AbsurdlyHighLevelCap: The level cap is 9002. IT'S OVER 9001!!!! Also, [[DifficultySpike the distance between level 9001 and level 9002 is HUGE]]. You can probably reach level 9001 in a month, whereas level 9002 takes YEARS.

* DifficultySpike:
** At first, raising Dragon Boost by 1% only requires feeding the Dragon 5 times. However, at 250%, you will start needing to feed him ''250 times'' to increase your Boost.
** Career levels 101 to 200 require a LOT more EXP than the first 100 levels. The same can be said about Simulation Cyborg and Pet.

* HolidayMode: ''Awesome Adventures'' has the Cakeland area, which is only accessible in December and January. It has a number of unique events, such as opening presents in hopes of rewards, cakes that can be eaten for random effects or fed to your pet, and an offer of 10,000,000 Yellow Coins or 10,000,000 Green Coins.

* LootBoxes: The various crates are a non-paid version of this trope.
* ManaPotion: Pressing the 'W' key in the arena will refill your mana bar. For a price, that is.

* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/AntiIdleTheGame Has its own page]].
* SinisterGeometry: Triangles appear in the Battle Arena in Triangle Land, the final area of the main path, and are the toughest enemies along said path. They also appear in Triangle Hideout as an endless line of high-reward, high-difficulty boss monsters. They're also responsible for an event in 2011 that, among other things, [[spoiler:destroyed the player's House, which hasn't come back since despite being promised in a future udpate for the past five years.]] Additionally, the FinalBoss, the Ascendant, is a triangle too.

* SuperOCD: Pretty much the whole game. [[spoiler:In fact, there's a perk you can unlock much later on, which costs a lot and does absolutely nothing.]]

* TechTree: Permanent Ascension perks.

* TooAwesomeToUse: In a previous version of the game, everyone was given a Relic enhancer, which added 175 Attack to a weapon. However, many people ended up not using it because you could only get one of these, ever. And it was from an event, so you couldn't even get another by restarting.

* VirtualPaperDoll: You can change how your ''Battle Arena'' avatar looks by equipping armor. Outfit items will override the appearance of armor items without compromising their functionality, and you can convert any armor item into an Outfit item, so if that armor set you want to dress up in ends up being AwesomeButImpractical, you can wear it as an Outfit over more practical armor. The Drawing Board update allows you to draw over your avatar, becoming a DifficultButAwesome form of Outfits, and you can unlock an Advanced Drawing Board that gives you full color and transparency options, but you need an absurd amount of Battle Points to unlock it.

** For the other way around, Go to the Dark Portal and sit there for ten seconds. Oh, and don't press any buttons. Your rings will go bye-bye.

Anti-Idle: The Game is an IdleGame created by Tukkun and playable exclusively on Kongregate, first released in 2009. The game follows standard idle game rules but also incorporates several elements from other types of games into one game. It actually lets you toggle whether you are idle or not - if you aren't idle, not only will you get the rewards from playing whatever part of the active game you're playing, you'll also get more rewards than if you just left it on idle.

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: InUniverse; in ''Awesome Adventures'' there is the vending machine event. One of its outcomes causes the machine to--as the game narrates--play a strange sound effect that is so annoying that you lose 1 Energy.

* RickRoll: Appears as a [[GuideDangIt Secret Achievement]]. [[spoiler:You unlock it by getting 250,000 points or more in ''Mute Mute Revolution'' song 1, the notes of which follow the infamous "Never Gonna Give You Up".]]

** Poison: Deals damage every few seconds.

* BorderPatrol: If you stay in the [[spoiler:Dark Portal]] area in the Battle Arena for 10 seconds before moving to another area, [[spoiler: The Guardian]] will spawn. It can instantly kill low level players.

* PowerUpMagnet: If the player isn't idling in the battle arena, then they can activate a large, golden magnet in the pub that will automatically pull in random drops to the player. If you wanna magnetize loot on anti-idle, then you gotta craft a Loot Magnet.

You can play the game [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/Tukkun/anti-idle-the-game here]]. To this day, Anti-Idle has over ''14.5 million'' plays and several thousand favorites, and continues to be updated regularly.

* FinalBoss: In order to ascend and therefore complete one loop of the game, you must go to ''Battle Arena'' and defeat the Ascendant, who is summoned by feeding the Dragon enough times to obtain the Sword of Ascendant and then going to [[WhereItAllBegan Ye Olde Pub]]. Although he can be summoned at as low as Rank 200, you can't actually damage him until you reach level 9,000.

* JokeItem: [[spoiler: Elixir of Greatness]].

%%* LevelGrinding: And how!

* LevelScaling: The Corruption.

* MetalSlime: In the [[spoiler: Mystic Path]] area.

* PixelHunt: [[spoiler: The Random Quest to obtain the Pirate Sword involves finding invisible treasure chests.]]

* ShoutOut: Plenty of them. Especially in the Battle Arena.
** Grinning Colossus comes from the game VideoGame/YouHaveToBurnTheRope.
** The 'potion [PROFANITY] 1/5' skill is a reference to the VideoGame/{{MARDEK}} series.
** Many Battle Arena monsters, especially ones in earlier zones, look like monsters in VideoGame/MapleStory.
** [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokayman]] City, anyone?
** The Corruption is based off VideoGame/{{Terraria}}.
** Secret Dungeon area is inspired by TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons.
** Worst Moon difficulty in the Battle Arena is a reference to the Bad Moon difficulty in [[VideoGame/{{KingdomOfLoathing}} Kingdom of Loathing]].
** The Dragon of Wisdom is very obviously based on the Tree of Wisdom from ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies''.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: You can laugh at noobs in ''Awesome Adventures'', which deducts 1 Reputation.
