About
Mill By Moonlight is an offline lunar tide milling simulation built with SpriteKit. You operate a historic tide mill , where the moon drives the tides and the tides drive the water wheel that turns the millstone.
HOW TO PLAY
- Read the moon phase. Full moon and new moon bring spring tides with the most energy.
- Tap the millstone to engage the grind. The moon must be at least one-third full or the mill auto-disengages.
- Manage wheat supply and flour storage. Sell flour to free up capacity and earn gold.
- Spend gold to upgrade the water wheel, millstone, and storage.
- Hit the flour or gold target before the day limit to complete the contract and earn up to three stars.
50 CONTRACTS
Journey across four millstone eras at the historic Eling tide mill:
- Stone Era (Levels 1-10): Learn the basics with traditional stone milling.
- Porcelain Era (Levels 11-30): Upgrade to porcelain for finer flour and higher output.
- Steel Era (Levels 31-40): Industrial-grade steel millstones with maximum efficiency.
- Ceramic Era (Levels 41-50): Modern ceramic millstones cap your mastery.
FEATURES
- 50 levels across four millstone eras.
- Realistic lunar tide model: moon phase drives tide amplitude with half-day cycles.
- Four millstone types with distinct efficiency ratings.
- Upgrade water wheel, millstone, and storage across each contract.
- Star rating based on flour output, gold earned, and upgrade count.
- Market price fluctuation in later contracts adds economic strategy.
- Fully offline. No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no tracking.
- Portrait orientation, iPhone only.
Mill By Moonlight is a calm, atmospheric simulation about reading the moon and mastering the rhythm of the tide mill.
