Bayou Idle

In closed testing on Google Play

A cozy idle town game. You start with one small bait shack on a sunset boardwalk and grow it into a whole glowing bayou town, one upgrade at a time.

Bayou Idle — grow a bait shack into a glowing bayou town

Build your boardwalk

Open six businesses, each with its own look: the Bait Shack, Fishing Dock, Airboat Tours, Restaurant, Gas Station and Marina.

Tap, upgrade, grow

Tap a building to collect a tip. Upgrade a business to raise what it earns every second: one level, ten, or as many as you can afford. Milestone levels double its income.

Earns while you are away

Your town keeps earning for up to two hours after you close the game. When you come back, a welcome panel shows what it made.

Finish goals to earn coins and gems, so there is always a next thing to aim for. Change the whole town's scenery with a new look: Sunset Boardwalk is included, with Festival Lights, Cajun Celebration and Haunted Bayou to try. Looks change the scenery only, not your earnings. It plays offline with no account, and sounds and music each have their own switch.

Free to download. Every business can be opened by playing. Town looks, gem packs and a starter pack are optional in-app purchases.
