Build the amusement park of your dreams — by hand. Place rides, draw the paths, and design real roller coasters tile by tile, then set your prices and watch the crowds pour in. Malahi is a hands-on theme park tycoon — not an idle tapper. You're the architect, the manager, and the boss: lay out a living pixel park, keep guests thrilled, and grow an empty field into a roaring city of fun. DESIGN YOUR OWN COASTERS — lay track piece by piece, add loops and spins, and send trains screaming around your creation. DOZENS OF RIDES, SHOPS & DÉCOR — carousels, drop towers, haunted houses, bumper cars, food stalls, fountains and more. RUN THE BUSINESS — set ticket and ride prices, hire staff, launch marketing campaigns, and track your finances day by day. KEEP GUESTS HAPPY — feed them, entertain them, keep it clean, and your rating (and profit) climbs. CAMPAIGN + SANDBOX — 12 handcrafted levels, or build with no limits in free sandbox mode. CLASSIC PIXEL ART — a cozy retro look with simple touch controls. PLAYS OFFLINE — no internet required, no forced ads. FULLY BILINGUAL — play in Arabic or English, switch anytime. Free to play — one simple purchase unlocks every ride, every level, and the coaster builder forever. No intrusive ads, no energy timers, no waiting. Build it. Run it. Make them smile.

The call
