Read full descriptionHide full description
Comande uma frota de mineração espacial e transforme alguns drones numa operação que abrange a galáxia — um upgrade de cada vez. AstroMiner Idle é um jogo incremental tranquilo, sobre números que sobem. Compre mineradores, veja seu Stardust Ore acumular, desbloqueie setores com multiplicadores maiores e, quando o progresso travar, use o Warp: reinicie a run em troca de multiplicadores permanentes de Quantum Core que aceleram a próxima subida. • Idle de verdade — seus mineradores continuam trabalhando com o app fechado. Volte pra um cofre cheio e um bônus de "bem-vindo de volta". • Progressão profunda — 3 setores, 18 tipos de minerador e upgrades permanentes de prestígio. • No seu ritmo — sem timers te obrigando a voltar, sem sistema de energia. • Monetização justa — uma única compra opcional de "remover anúncios", vídeos recompensados opcionais pra bônus, e só. Nada de paywall no loop principal. • Offline-first — sem conta, sem login. Seu save fica no aparelho (e dá pra exportar como código pra levar pra outro celular). Grátis pra jogar. Contém anúncios e compras opcionais.
