Free mobile idle game

Idle Barber Shop Tycoon is a simulator by Codigames for mobile. It is a free clicker that puts you in the shoes of Mike Freshcut, a barbershop owner. Your goal is to become the best barber and turn the outdated barbershop you've inherited into a thriving business.

To do so, you will serve as many customers as possible and earn cash and reputation. Unlike other tycoon games, however, Idle Barber Shop Tycoon comes with a storyline. Throughout the game, you will get to know more about Mike, meet the customers he serves and even his better half. 

What is the game about?

Idle Barber Shop Tycoon is a 3D business management game. As mentioned, you will play as a barber and an entrepreneur with a mission to turn an old barbershop into the best in town. The mechanics are quite simple. All you need to do is manage your resources and invest the profits. Like other tycoon games, you will start small and grow your business as word spreads about your service.

As you get more customers, you will earn money and reputation points. You can use them to unlock new hairstyles and beard styles. Moreover, you can expand your establishment, buy new equipment and furniture, and improve its features. You can even hire new staff. To do that, however, you must meet your customers' demands. Don't worry, though. You only need to tap on the elements you find on the screen.

As noted, there is more to the game than its idle gameplay. This title also offers a beautiful storyline. As you play, you will know more about Mike and the other characters that will be introduced. You may even meet his better half. However, unlocking the next chapter of the storyline takes ages. What makes it worse is that the chapters are so short, which makes the wait more aggravating. 

Is the game good?

Overall, Idle Barber Shop Tycoon is a solid business managing game. It has all the elements you would expect from the genre presented in nice 3D graphics. Not only that but there is also a storyline that you can follow. However, as with most clicker games, it tends to be boring over time. Moreover, progress slows down after a few minutes in the game.
