Graham's Idle
Start at 1. End at Graham's number.
Graham's Idle is an idle game about growing a number far beyond anything you can imagine. Spend "insight" on upgrades, and watch your number climb from thousands to googols, past power towers, and into Knuth's up-arrow notation.
- Discover entries in a number encyclopedia (googol, Skewes' number, and more)
- Learn how each new notation works as you reach it
- Goal: reach g₆₄, Graham's number
- Available in English and Japanese

I wonder how is the high order exponent calculated when the number is relatively small. For example, 8 exponent when the number is only 10^10^10. Taking log 3 times gives 1, then 0, then log 0 is undefined.
If the number is too small for that many logs (i.e. the value would drop to 1 or below before the last log), the upgrade simply does nothing and leaves the number unchanged, so log 0 is never evaluated.
What a great theme for an idle game. I like that each upgrade is an actual operation, so learning multiplication and watching the number go from about 20 to 600 in a minute made the jump feel real, and the Munafo class line is a nice nerdy touch. The first few minutes are quite slow though, as insight only arrives every 40 seconds or so and I spent a lot of time waiting with nothing to buy. A small early boost, or a way to earn a bit of insight by clicking, could help new players get to the fun part sooner.
Thank you so much for taking the time to play my game and share your feedback! You're actually the first person to give me feedback on my game, so it means a lot to me. I really appreciate your support!
I've added a button that lets you earn Insight by clicking it, so the early game feels a little less slow. There's still so much more to come, and I'd love for you to stick around and see what's next!
