About this app

IDLE GAME MEETS DECKBUILDER

THE FIRST MILLION takes the endlessly satisfying feeling of making numbers go up from idle games and fuses it with the strategic depth and replayability of roguelike deckbuilders.

THE FIRST MILLION IS THE HARDEST

As they say, THE FIRST MILLION is the hardest — you cannot win this game on the first try. But you will get closer with every try as you constantly unlock new cards and upgrades and discover one game-breaking strategy after another.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

THE FIRST MILLION keeps you thinking outside the box and playing the game in different ways with dozens of diverse challenges, which you will need to complete to unlock the best cards and upgrades.

PUT IN THE WORK

If you're familiar with deckbuilders, you might beat the first difficulty level in a couple of hours. To complete all difficulties and challenges, you will need at least 15-20 hours.…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
