Detailed game description

Idle expeditions with deep optimisation

Trimps is a browser-based idle strategy game centred on a tribe of tiny workers marching through numbered zones. You assign trimps to gather wood, minerals, food, and science, then convert those resources into housing, weapons, armour, and new buildings. As your expedition pushes into higher zones, enemies get tougher and maps introduce modifiers that demand more careful gearing and formation choices.

Beneath the simple interface lies a dense network of upgrades, challenges, and unlockable systems that gradually stack on top of each other. Warpstations, gyms, coordinated attacks, and special challenge modes all interlock, giving long-term players a constant stream of new efficiency puzzles to solve. The game is famous in the incremental community for how far its systems stretch while remaining entirely playable in the browser.

Key systems and features

  • Job assignment and resource production that let you fine-tune how many trimps gather, craft, or fight at any given moment.
  • Equipment and perk upgrades that dramatically increase combat power and survival as you reach higher-numbered zones.
  • Special maps and challenge modes that reset portions of your progress in exchange for powerful permanent bonuses.
  • Long-form idle design with offline progress handling, making it easy to let runs simmer between active sessions.
  • Extensive endgame systems maintained by an active community, keeping the meta evolving over time.

Getting the most out of each run

Early in Trimps, focus on building a balanced base of gatherers and scientists so you can keep both gear and research moving forward. Investing in housing upgrades increases your population cap, which in turn makes every new job slot more valuable. Once combat opens up, swapping trimps between work and fighting roles lets you surge through easier zones quickly while regrouping for tougher bosses.

When challenge modes and more complex reset mechanics unlock, treat them as long-term multipliers rather than distractions. Running the right challenge at the right time often accelerates your overall progress far more than pushing a few extra zones on a weaker build. Many players keep a simple note or plan for which upgrades to grab before committing to a major reset.
