A small idle game in the time loop genre.

Thanks everybody who tried Idle Rock Remover!

It wasn't very popular or easy to understand.

If you are determined and you want some more help, here is a full spoiler guide for one way to beat it.

  1. Clear the grey rocks to get access to all the basic flowers. (10-15 minutes)

  2. Clear the blue rock directly up from start (~5 minutes)

  3. Clear the blue rock under that (~7 minutes)

  4. Get the resource from under that rock and give it to the NPC to learn ROCK. Maybe try to optimize by getting fewer flowers or just use the extra mana to train STR by interacting with the NPC. Do some loops where you just do 1 training of ROCK. ~10 levels of rock should take about 20-25 minutes.

  5. Stop training and use all the mana to clear the white rock. The flower under it has much more mana than the flowers before it, so get that and use it to clear the blue rock after it, then the blue rocks above and below. (~15 minutes, total play time for me is 1hr and 7 minutes so far)

  6. Break the bottom 2 remaining blue rocks. (~20 minutes)

  7. Break the top 2 remaining blue rocks (~20 minutes)

  8. Break the last blue rock to reveal the merchant (~20 minutes)

  9. Make a loop where you get all the flowers, then play with the monster, then give the heart to the merchant, then give the gold to the NPC to start learning MNST and use the rest of your mana to break the blue rock to the left of the first NPC. In about 15 minutes, the rock breaks and you should have 4 levels of MNST

  10. Remake the loop so you play with both monsters and get 2 gold for the NPC, and use the rest of your mana to work on the rock above the NPC. ~30 minutes to break the third blue rock by the NPC and have have 10 levels of MNST to receive a free heart every day. Total play time 2h 52m so far.

  11. Stop gathering resources for now and use all your mana to break the green rock on the right. There is a NPC under it. (~15 minutes)

  12. Start getting the resources again and bring 4 gold to the NPC every loop to learn FISH. Use the rest of your mana to work on the green rock diagonally up-left of the NPC. 10 levels of fish is about 25 minutes. Now you will have a free FISH every day.

  13. Trade the fish to the NPC and get all the other hearts so you can train ROCK 5 times a loop by giving hearts to the first NPC. Use the rest of the mana to work on the rock up and to the left of the NPC. Reach level 15 ROCK in ~20 minutes. Don't worry about the blue rock at about 1/3 progress.

  14. Make a loop where you get all the flowers, then break the second white rock. Get the more valuable flowers there and use them to break the rocks above and below. (~25 minutes)

  15. Keep going and break the top right green rock so you have access to 4 red flowers. (~30 minutes) From now on get these 4 flowers every time. This will make your loops quite a bit longer.

  16. Make a loop where you get all the flowers, then play with the 3 revealed monsters so you have 1 fish and 4 hearts. Take all that and start hitting the blue rock you were working on before. It should go down fast now like 5 minutes. The resource under it will give you 2 hearts.

  17. Take those resources too and use them to break the last 2 blue rocks so you can get all 10 hearts during your loops so you will have 11 total. They should take about 1 loop or 10 minutes each.

  18. Having all of these resources makes the MNST skill stronger, so level that up a bit more by giving all your resources to the merchant and 12 gold to the first NPC. It should take almost all your mana. You want to be really strong right? Lets level that all the way up to 18 or 19, about 40 minutes.

  19. Now get all the mana and resources so you have 11 hearts and 1 fish, and do the rock above the priest. Make sure you get the fish from the water there so you have 2 and do the green rock in the middle. Then do the green rock on the right with 3 fish. Then do the 2 rocks closest to the NPC, get those fish, and do the last green rock at the bottom. All 6 green rocks should take about 1 hour and 20 minutes so now you can have 11 fish and 11 hearts.

  20. Give as much of these resources as you can to the 2nd NPC to train RSRC and FLWR at the same time. At first you wont be able to do all of them, but the skills will help you have more mana. You can have both of them at level 10 in around 40 minutes.

  21. Now sell everything and give the 2nd NPC as much gold as you can to get the FISH skill close to level 20. I got mine to level 17 in about 25 minutes.

  22. You will be doing a lot of damage with 11 of both resources, so take them all and start on the green rock at the top on the right and then do the other 2 and if your skills are leveled up and you have all those resources then all 3 of them should go down very quickly I did it in less than 10 minutes.

  23. Destroy the yellow rock at the top. This will reveal another NPC. Give that NPC all of your hearts. You will get birds in return. And give the first NPC all the fish too, then you can give the new guy 22 hearts total to get 22 birds. Give him all the birds to level up your STAT skill. With all those birds it shouldn't take too long to level it up. It's really strong and the rest of the rocks are very tough so lets get it to level 15. It could take about an hour or less if you optimize by getting fewer flowers.

  24. Now get all the resources and clear the yellow rocks. It shouldn't really be that hard now. It will reveal more flowers and trees you can collect birds from. At some point before you reach the last white rock sell all your resources and learn BIRD from the NPC at the top. You will see your stat levels rise very quickly because of the STAT skill, and I was able to clear all of the yellow rocks top to bottom in 30 minutes without the bird skill.

  25. With level 15+ STAT, MNST, BIRD, and FISH, and 11 of every resource, the rest of the rocks aren't too bad. It might not seem like it at first, but your stats will go up a lot over a loop, into the thousands. You can get the other skills too if you want. The NPC under the last white rock will end your day if you interact with it but it will speed up time so it may be worth it, especially if you have some LERN skill, since you only get to train it once per loop. I cleared all the final rocks in about an hour but the TIME skill can help it go faster.

  26. Spend some time training with the third NPC to get your luck stat up.

  27. For your final loop, get all the mana and break all the white rocks, then sell all the resources and trade the gold for mana. This should leave you with about 140k mana. With that and 87 permanent luck stat I was able to finish the rockomancer. It might not look good at first but as your luck stat goes up the progress should overtake your mana drain. I still had 1/3 of my mana left when I did this.
