About

Tidepool Tycoon

Features
Read full description

Tap a tidepool, build a harbor, watch it come alive. Tidepool Tycoon is a cozy idle tycoon where you grow a tiny tidal cove into a bustling seaside harbor — fishing huts, kelp farms, a glowing tidepool aquarium, a lighthouse, and more, each earning Shells on their own, even while you're away. HOW IT WORKS • Place and upgrade buildings along the shore — each earns Shells every second • Tap buildings for bonus collections on top of your passive income • Come back later to a "Welcome Back" haul of everything you earned while gone • "Set Sail" to reset your cove for a permanent production boost — and unlock a brand new look for the whole harbor A LIVING WORLD, NOT JUST A SPREADSHEET • Shimmering, animated water and a slow day-to-night lighting cycle • Gulls wheel overhead, crabs scuttle the shoreline, dolphins leap offshore • Drag every building — and every decoration — anywhere you like. It's your cove, arranged your way • Set Sail through four hand-illustrated biomes: Dawn Cove, Sunset Harbor, Moonlit Bay, and Aurora Tide BUILT TO RESPECT YOUR TIME • Full offline progress — your harbor never stops earning • Daily streaks reward you for just checking in • Free to play, with fair optional extras: remove ads, boost your offline earnings, or join the Tidepool Club for an ongoing production boost — never required to enjoy the game Plant your first fishing hut and see what your cove becomes.
