Idle Games Like Leaf Blower Revolution, on PC and Mobile
What are the best games like Leaf Blower Revolution?
Idle Slayer is the closest match: it is free on Steam, it starts with one simple action (jump and grab coins), and it keeps opening new dimensions, crafting and minigames the way Leaf Blower Revolution keeps opening new areas. Tap Ninja, Idle Spiral and Mr.Mine are the other open-ended picks, with no ending listed on their store pages. Keep on Mining! and A Game About Digging A Hole are the short ones, with a finish line.
Updated October 2026.
Each pick takes one small action and pushes it to absurd numbers, which is the shape that makes Leaf Blower Revolution work, and each is out now on Steam with an iPhone version too.
What makes a game feel like Leaf Blower Revolution?
Leaf Blower Revolution by Humble North is an incremental game. An incremental game is a game built around numbers that grow faster than you can spend them: you buy something that makes more of the resource, which buys more of that thing, until the scale changes and new systems appear. The explainer on what an incremental game is separates idle, clicker and incremental if the labels blur.
Inside that genre, its Steam page describes a game built from four pieces:
- One verb. You blow leaves. The store page asks whether you have ever wanted to blow them away “with a rocket engine filled with nuclear fuel”, and that is the joke the whole game runs on.
- Machines that do the verb for you. Autoblowers blow leaves while you are busy, so you can play it actively or leave it running.
- New territory. The page lists 40+ areas, 30+ kinds of leaf and 38+ shops, plus 32+ pets, a crafting system and a Cheese Pub with several minigames.
- Prestige. You reset, collect coins and spend them on upgrades that make the next run faster.
It is free to download, with an In-App Purchases label and 7 paid DLC packs on Steam that run from $3.99 to $24.99 (as of October 2026). Six of the seven include gems (the seventh is the soundtrack), and the Supporter and Premium packs add Time Travel charges of 30 minutes to 72 hours. It has 26,489 Steam reviews, 94.1% positive (as of October 2026). HowLongToBeat puts its main stretch at 63h 32m and a completionist run at 396h 41m, from only 17 and 41 player submissions, so treat both as rough.
Every pick below keeps piece 1, one action you never stop doing. Four of them also keep piece 3, new ground to do it on. Idle Spiral swaps the new ground for stacked reset layers, and Keep on Mining! swaps it for new rock types. Idle Slayer, Tap Ninja and Idle Spiral also keep the prestige layer.
Which idle games are most like Leaf Blower Revolution?
Start with Idle Slayer if you want the same open-ended, layered game with a pixel-art slayer in place of a leaf blower. Pick Tap Ninja if you want to do the slashing yourself, though Steam lists it as playable without timed input. Pick A Game About Digging A Hole if you want the whole one-verb arc in an evening and do not need it to run while you are away.
| Game | The one action | What opens up as you play | Prestige | Built to end? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Idle Slayer | Jump, grab coins, slay enemies | Dimensions through portals, a Village, minigames | Yes, Ascension | No, sold on “Endless Progression” |
| Tap Ninja | A well-timed katana slash | A village, then enemy provinces your heroes conquer | Yes, Ascension skills | No end listed |
| Idle Spiral | Grow a spiral away from its centre | Stacked prestige layers, Battle Spiral, challenges | Yes, several layers | No, “Endless Content” on its page |
| Mr.Mine | Drill down | Deeper levels, buildings, relics, Super Miners | None listed | No end listed |
| Keep on Mining! | Hover the cursor over rocks | New rock types, better pickaxes, an automatic mine | None listed; skill tree upgrades are permanent | Yes, HowLongToBeat main 4h 1m |
| A Game About Digging A Hole | Dig in your new garden, by hand (no idle progress listed) | Further down, toward a mysterious secret | None listed | Yes, HowLongToBeat main 1h 51m |
“None listed” means the game’s Steam page does not describe a prestige reset. The two “Yes” lengths are HowLongToBeat’s main-story averages, checked in October 2026.
How much do they cost, and what do the extras sell?
Release years are Steam’s, prices are the regular US Steam price, review counts are Steam’s all-language totals, and the positive share is Steam’s own, all as of October 2026. Tap Ninja’s packs, Keep on Mining! and A Game About Digging A Hole, and both of their DLC, were discounted on the check date, so your price may be lower. “Also on” means a macOS build on Steam, a Mac App Store listing, or an iPhone App Store listing, as of October 2026; I did not check Google Play for the six picks.
| Game | Released on Steam | Steam price (as of October 2026) | Paid extras on Steam | Steam reviews (as of October 2026) | Positive | Also on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Idle Slayer | 2020 | Free, with in-app purchases | No DLC | 10,924 | 84.5% | iPhone |
| Tap Ninja | 2022 | Free, with in-app purchases | 4 supporter packs, $5.99 to $49.99 | 9,818 | 85.0% | Mac and Linux (Steam), iPhone |
| Idle Spiral | 2022 | Free | 11 spiral packs, $4.99 to $9.99 | 1,906 | 79.6% | Mac (Steam), iPhone |
| Mr.Mine | 2020 | Free, with in-app purchases | No DLC | 18,688 | 91.6% | Mac (Steam), iPhone |
| Keep on Mining! | 2025 | $4.99 | Pickaxe skin pack, $2.99 | 8,443 | 93.5% | iPhone |
| A Game About Digging A Hole | 2025 | $4.99 | Story novel, $4.99 | 20,171 | 89.3% | Mac App Store, iPhone |
If you came from Leaf Blower Revolution, the extras column is the one to read. The four free games sell in the game or through DLC; the two paid ones sell nothing that changes play. Idle Slayer’s in-app purchases sell Jewels of Soul, which the Idle Slayer wiki says buy bonuses to coin income, souls and offline gains, plus crafting materials; they can also be earned through daily quests. Mr.Mine sells Tickets, a premium currency its wiki lists for chests, relic slots and skipping waits, and calls optional. Keep on Mining!‘s pack is pickaxe skins, which its DLC page calls “purely cosmetic”, and A Game About Digging A Hole’s only DLC is a novel. Idle Spiral is the mixed case: its Custom Spiral Pack is labelled support and cosmetics, but its Bubble Spiral Pack adds 500 Spiral Points and +100% rare drop rate. If that question decides it for you, the idle games on Steam without microtransactions list goes through it game by game.
What is each game like?
Idle Slayer
Idle Slayer is the best all-round replacement for Leaf Blower Revolution. You start with nothing, jump to collect coins and kill enemies, and the store page promises the same slow unfolding: dimensions with their own materials, crafting, an Armory, a Village with a story, and minigames such as Bonus Stage, Chest Hunt and Grapple Run. Its prestige is Ascension, where the Idle Slayer wiki explains that Souls from slain enemies turn into Slayer Points for a large skill tree. It keeps progressing while you are away, per the store page’s “active and offline progression”, and one save carries between PC and mobile.
Tap Ninja
Tap Ninja is the pick if you want to do the one action yourself. Your ninja cuts down incoming enemies with a katana slash, though Steam’s accessibility labels say it is playable without timed input, and the gold goes into research and a village that, per its store page, keeps earning while you are offline. Later you recruit heroes and send them to conquer enemy provinces, and you collect pets, which Leaf Blower Revolution players will recognise. Ascension buys permanent skill upgrades. It has the widest platform list here: Windows, macOS and Linux on Steam, with cross-platform cloud saves. Its four supporter packs sell Amber and a permanent VIP status.
Idle Spiral
Idle Spiral is the most abstract game on the list and the one with the most layered prestige. The whole game is a spiral you make longer, with upgrades written as maths formulas you do not need to understand at first, according to its store page. In place of new areas it stacks reset layers on top of each other, and the page warns that Tornado Prestige “is just the beginning”. Battle Spiral turns your spiral into a weapon against other spirals, with a boss of “a very complex shape” in the second half of the game. It has the lowest positive share here, 79.6% (as of October 2026). I kept it anyway because it is the only pick where the reset layers themselves are the territory, but read recent reviews first.
Mr.Mine
Mr.Mine swaps the leaf field for a mine shaft, so new areas become new depths. You manage a team of miners, work through 100+ drill upgrades, hire Super Miners and scientists who find relics, and find buildings and secret encounters further down, all listed on its store page. The page says it first came out in 2012 and was played “more than 10 million times” before this Steam remaster. Its page lists no prestige reset, so it suits players who liked the exploring more than the resetting. If running a crew is the part you want more of, the games like AdVenture Capitalist list goes that way.
Keep on Mining!
Keep on Mining! is the short version of the Leaf Blower Revolution idea. You hover your cursor over rocks to mine them, turn the ore into bars, craft better pickaxes and spend bars in a skill tree whose upgrades are permanent, as its store page describes. Each level-up lets you pick one of three talent cards, and every card you take also raises the rocks’ HP. HowLongToBeat puts the main game at 4h 1m and a completionist run at 4h 50m. It costs $4.99 regular (as of October 2026). For more short incrementals in this vein, see games like Nodebuster.
A Game About Digging A Hole
A Game About Digging A Hole is the smallest step away from Leaf Blower Revolution’s premise: one garden chore, taken absurdly far. You dig in the garden of a house you just bought, sell what you find, upgrade your gear and keep going down toward “a mysterious secret”, per its store page. It has the largest review count of the six, 20,171 (as of October 2026). HowLongToBeat puts the main game at 1h 51m, from 335 submissions, and 4h 19m for completionists. It is also the only one with full controller support on Steam, and the one pick that is not an idle game: Steam files it under Adventure and Indie, and its store page describes no progress while you are away. I included it for the one-chore premise, so expect to do every dig yourself.
What did I leave off?
I left off Cookie Clicker and AdVenture Capitalist, the two obvious names. Each already has its own list here, games like Cookie Clicker and the AdVenture Capitalist one above, so I spent the six slots on games where one action is the whole hook.
Quick answers
Is Leaf Blower Revolution on mobile? Yes, on Android and iPhone. Google Play lists Humble North as the developer, and the App Store lists it under Michael Schuppenies. On Steam it is Windows only.
Are there mobile games like Leaf Blower Revolution? Yes. All six games in the tables have an iPhone version on the App Store as of October 2026; I checked the App Store, not Google Play. Idle Slayer and Tap Ninja go furthest: their Steam pages say your save carries between PC and phone.
Is there a game like Leaf Blower Revolution for Mac? Yes, four. Tap Ninja, Idle Spiral and Mr.Mine have macOS builds on Steam, and A Game About Digging A Hole is on the Mac App Store, while Leaf Blower Revolution itself has no Mac build on Steam. The idle games for Mac list has more.
Is there a short game like Leaf Blower Revolution? Yes, two. A Game About Digging A Hole takes about 2 hours and Keep on Mining! about 4, by HowLongToBeat’s main-story averages. The idle games that actually end list has more with a finish line.
Where our game fits
Our own game, Sam, We Talked About This, is an idle incremental game, and it sits beside this list rather than on it. It takes one verb to absurd scale the same way: in Leaf Blower Revolution the verb is blow, in Sam it is scrape, and then scrape more. Where these games grow a field, a mine or a spiral, Sam grows a pile of data and the models trained on it. You scrape data, train text, image and video models on it, let the models win subscribers, and put the cash into more disks, bigger machines and a bigger crew, until AGI is waiting at the end. It is unreleased, due on Steam in Q1 2027, so there is nothing to score yet. Its Steam page lists Windows and macOS, if you want to follow it.
