Oil Tycoon boasts awesome idle gameplay where you tap and build to slowly forge a petroleum empire unlike any that’s come before. After successfully extracting your first batch of oil, it’s time to sell up and upgrade, which means you’re off to the stock market. Here, you monitor prices and make sure you sell up at the optimum moment to make bank! Once you’re richer than a gold mine, it’s time to upgrade! Now, you can install new barrels, move into gas production, or explore new areas and continue mining! There are thousands of upgrades and new ventures to get stuck into, providing you can take a break from mining.
As you progress, you’ll unlock new locations as you mine and extract your way across the world. Imagine building a factory in the depths of the Siberia, installing underwater gas works, and hiring a lunar miner! The possibilities for your empire are endless, and the only limit is your entrepreneurial talents.
You’re going to make billions with your oil because now you have everything an oil miner needs to do so. Get out there, get sellin’, and become a true Oil Tycoon.
Great game easy way to pass time
The game is fun and addictive there are a few things i would change like using the screen real estate better use more click buttons to take things off the side to give you more room . Also i would move the oil amount and your cash to the side so it not always in the way . Another thing would be the toggle button on your oil properties make the easy to use one you click on it you cant just click off you have to click the button again make it so you can switch to the other button options without clicking in and out .. other then those flaws IMO i would highly recommend and say to any that this is a great game
Devs please read
I’m a huge fan of the game and I think it’s a great way to pass the time. The different locations are cool and the mining is a great aspect. There are two changes that need to be made. First, when you reset to get 2x, you shouldn’t lose your diamonds. Also, after you reset enough that your multiplier is around 10,000 and you can finally afford all of the upgrades at every location, I noticed that sometimes you have to spend upwards of 500 gems for a single upgrade. I really think that should be changed as I’m not willing to pay $20 for a couple upgrades. Overall it’s a great game but just those two aspects need to be changed.
Ideas
Overall this game is near perfect but I do ask that you remove taxes but add a new bonus for VIP also add a starter pack that is significantly cheaper than buying overpriced gems and maybe some kind of permanent upgrades shop ads are fine as long as it’s skippable but also add something that gives you a daily rewards and for every 7,14,21,28,30 day gives you gems while others gives you some money and finally add a skill tree.
Convenient glitch
The game is a lot of fun except watching a video to spin the wheel feels rigged. As long as I land on the pick I have no issues. I landed on the $10K slot on the wheel and the game conveniently locked up and reset itself allowing me to immediately watch another video which worked great once I got a pick again. You should remove that slot if you don’t want people to actually win it.
It’s ok so far
I gave this game a 3 star because I was super excited to play it only to have it crash alllllllllllllllll the time! Most of the time I click to watch a video it crashes. Which means I have to reload the game and try again just to have it crash again. Out of The maybe 10% of the times I click and the video lets me watch 75% of the time it will crash after which is really frustrating considering I have watched like 10 adds and like 30 mins to get a buff like auto or 2x. Makes this game basically unplayable if I want the normal boosts. I don’t know why this is happening please fix.
New update no good
The game was fun up until the newest update which made shine unwelcome changes. For one, it is almost impossible to sell the oil at a good price now that the green prices are now in the 50s instead of the 80s, unless you are selling gems you’re not getting much. The ads have changed too and now just reduce time by a bit instead of opening the chests. There is also an option in the selling part that allows for “better trade deals” but when that is purchased using the in game currency nothing happens. There are definitely some changes that need to be made to this game.
Isn’t an Idle game at all - Still fun, kind of
It’s a lovely game where you keep improving over the course of your time playing. The majority of your time is spent watching ads to make it automatic and x2 as it’s not even, by default, automatic. Well, it kind of is but at a VERY slow rate. So slow in fact, it’s like you’re expected to live off the ads. The ads give you 4.5 minutes of automatic extraction. Then you sell that, upgrade and repeat. Now, the tanks do fill up without you doing anything, just what it fills up with is extremely small and not even worth it. This game is NOT an idle game, and it requires manual clicking 24/7 to even progress that far. Fun game, but it requires an extreme amount of dedication and work for nearly zero pay-off.
Don’t Pay for VIP
I just started playing this game today. I was having some fun with it, but the number of advertisements was annoying, so I decided to buy the VIP pass, which promises to remove advertisements. However, after buying VIP and restarting the app, I have to watch just as many advertisements as before. It may have removed a couple of random advertisements (of which I’d only had a couple prior to buying VIP), but all of the other advertisements, such as those that appear when using the “Auto” and “2x” boosts, are still present. VIP only seems to double the duration of the boosts and eliminate in-game taxes. I’m wishing I had saved my money and not purchased VIP.
Disappointed
I’ve played this game before but I have had nothing but problems with it as of late. I enjoy mindless games and idle games and this was one I kept coming back to, but the game won’t even open now. I had done multiple resets to accumulate multipliers and the game started crashing. I didn’t want to give up on the game so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Lost everything but still tried again. And apparently you can’t collect multipliers if you want to keep the game working. I wish they would fix the crash issues instead of focusing on grammar. It is a shame to give up on this game, but it is causing me more stress than it was helping me relieve
Vibration is annoying
My phone is constantly buzzing when I try to play this game and it is the only game I have that has done this in the 10 years that I’ve been using a smartphone. It does it when it wants you to select certain things that pop up like the cases that you can open. When I have this app open on my desk but phone turned on silent, the last thing I want is for my phone to be buzzing/vibrating on my desk every 8 seconds. I have looked and looked for a way to disable and have not found anything. The developers need to build in an option where you can disable this feature.
Great game but...
I originally had this at 4 stars with my only issue being that I am not able to turn off the vibration notification when I get a diamond or a box. I took off 1 star because with all the changes they made with the last update, that wasn’t fixed. I took off another star (could have been 2) because when they made changes with the update, they didn’t say what the changes were. The major change I noticed was when you sell oil, they prices have gone down. It used to be $80 was the max but now $60 is the max. All you have to do is put a little statement in the version update. Put it in a bullet point format so it’s easy to see what the updates are. Or are you paying for each character? I’ve noticed a couple other changes, some are good, some are bad, and some don’t make a difference. When you pretty much overhaul the game like this, let people know. I might end up deleting the game because of it. Edit: now ads won’t play so another star is gone...next it’s the game
Too many ads. WAY too many ads.
I understand ads allow the game to be played for free. However, almost everything you want to do in this game requires watching an ad. Start the auto pump? Watch an ad. Speed up the pump? Watch another ad. Double the production? Watch another ad again. Triple production? Watch yet ANOTHER ad. And the auto pump only lasts 5 minutes. So I watch 2 mins of ads for 5 mins of activity. And if you leave that screen, you don’t get the bonus gem and cases that arrive occasionally. So instead of going to work at other oil well sites I’m stuck watching the pump. Yawn. To make matters worse, occasionally an ad will pop up without warning when you hit the map key. Like I need to watch another ad. Finally, the game glitches when you try to Take 2x - it will freeze and you can’t double up. But the ultimate is when you spin the wheel of fortune, you get the max price of $1M...but the game freezes and you can’t receive the prize. Not good. Want more than one star? Fix the glitches and reduce the ads. How about not requiring an ad to start the auto pump but give the option to watch ads to extend the time the pump runs. I play other “idle” games where I get double the profit for FOUR HOURS just by watching ONE ad! Game could be fun but way too many ads.
It’s honestly like every update is designed to make the game worse
First you remove the casino making the game feel like it has a giant hole in it where you removed an amazing feature. Then you drop the pricing for oil by 25% making oil even less useful in an oil tycoon game and you made real estate just about useless in the game now that it makes less than half the money. Before the update I made 200 million every night from it then after the update and getting a 1.5 billion dollar upgrade for it and I made only 90 million. Honestly if you want to make us enjoy the game more and have us play more don’t just make the game take forever to complete by making it super hard to make money. Just add new upgrades and maybe new areas that also make money like an airport possibly. Also creating a new island itself would add a lot to the game.
Awful update
I’ve played this game every day for almost a year now and the updates keep getting worse. In the beginning I liked it enough to buy the version that didn’t make me pay taxes and then I bought a few more things over the months. I was so excited with the update that made me VIP and let me skip videos, but this most recent update requires videos again to open things faster and after spending the money and the time it’s very disappointing. The VIP option is still there and I’ve tried to restore purchases but it doesn’t change anything. This is a more annoying update than when you could sell the oil at almost 80% then suddenly the highest was 60%. If this most recent update hasn’t happened I’d still be playing the game everyday and still spending money on it
