Kolibri Games Made 'Idle Miner Tycoon' More Approachable

— May 11, 2024 — Tech
Idle Miner Tycoon, developed by Kolibri Games, introduced the Super Manager 2.0 update to enhance player engagement and accessibility. The update revolutionizes the game’s existing Super Manager feature, which allows players to hire powerful managers with unique abilities to optimize mine productivity. Originally launched in 2018, the Super Manager system has grown to include 31 distinct characters, each providing a combination of timed active boosts and passive benefits that can significantly increase mine output. The 2.0 update aims to make these Super Managers more attainable for players, addressing feedback that they were previously difficult to acquire without in-app purchases.

The Super Manager 2.0 update introduces a new in-game currency called Tokens, which players can earn through regular gameplay and participation in game events. These Tokens can be used to open Briefcases containing Fragments of Super Managers. Once a player collects enough Fragments, they can unlock a Super Manager without the need for any in-app purchases, making the feature more accessible to a broader audience. The pricing structure has been adjusted to allow players to enjoy the Super Manager feature without financial barriers, fostering a more inclusive gaming experience.
