It is a semi-idler like Cookie Clicker or... all of the others, with offline resource accumulation. You play a race of advanced octopus organisms that are really lazy but which begrudgingly take to conquering the known universe because someone invented the means for them to do so...
Quite frankly in the spirit of the game, "beating" it for me in this case meant 100% achievements. The longest one was for not playing the game for 3 days. I'm working on Lazy Galaxy 2 which has some improvements over the original, especially with regards to combat and fleet management but it also doesn't feel as engaging for some reason.
