Idle Obelisk Miner

The verdict
A genuinely deep mining incremental that does the unthinkable in mobile idle: zero ads, not even optional ones. Prestige artifacts, then whole new systems (stargazing, archaeology, fishing) keep unfolding for hundreds of hours.
Hot take
It's the cleanest free idle game on mobile and it embarrasses the ad-riddled competition. A 60k-strong Discord for a game with no monetization hooks tells you everything — people stay because it respects them.
