[Pickaxe King Island] A relaxing tycoon game with pixel graphics! Build your kingdom with your pickaxe and run your farm. Go on adventures in dungeons, and mine many ores in the mine. Grow your very own kingdom! 
 [Start] Chop trees and gather wood. Sell the wood to earn gold coins. Use the coins to expand your farm and buy chickens. Chickens lay eggs and make you even more money! Grow many crops, and buy important farm animals like cows. Sell your farm goods to earn more money, buy new islands, and expand your kingdom! 
 [Cooking] Cook food in the oven with ingredients from your farm! Make cheese with milk, bake bread with wheat, and mix different ingredients to discover new recipes. Dishes made with recipes can sell for a higher price, so it feels twice as rewarding! [Dungeon] As your kingdom grows, you will find hidden dungeons. Explore with the Fox Knight and collect magical resources! Use special rewards found only in dungeons to make your kingdom even stronger. Orcs, minotaurs, slimes, and many other monsters will try to stop you, but if you train the Fox Knight and upgrade gear, nothing will scare you! [Mine] Mine lots of ores in the mine! With the ores you collect, you can upgrade your pickaxe and many kinds of equipment. Conquer hundreds of floors, and the deeper you go, the more rare and valuable ores you can find! 
 [Item Cards & Costume Collection] Collect over 30 item cards to grow your kingdom faster and with more fun! Equip the cute Doggy King card, and you can ride the Doggy King to move around your kingdom quickly! Wear the Miner’s Gloves, and your pickaxe speed will get even faster. Also, collect over 100 costumes and dress up the Pickaxe King your way. Create the one and only Pickaxe King just for you! 
 [Pickaxe & Gear Upgrades] Upgrade your pickaxe with ores from the mine, and you can break even the hardest rocks in one hit. Upgrade the Fox Knight’s gear, challenge deeper dungeons, and enjoy exciting growth! [New Adventure] When you buy the last island, new content you never expected will open up! Here’s a hint… A ranking battle with other Pickaxe Kings is waiting for you. Of course, you don’t have to join if you don’t want to! If you prefer healing over competition, you can grow your kingdom at your own pace and enjoy rich content in a comfortable way. With the Pickaxe King, build your own kingdom slowly and happily. You don’t need to try too hard. This is a healing game. Relax and enjoy, and grow your kingdom at your own speed. We hope [Pickaxe King Island] brings a little happiness to your day!

About

Stync

Read full description

STYNC is a one - tap precision stacking game. A block slides across the screen. Tap to place it on your tower. Land it perfectly and your block stays full width. Miss and it gets sliced, smaller every time. Lose too much width and it's game over. HOW TO PLAY • Tap at the right moment to stop the moving block • Perfect alignment preserves the full width • Off-center cuts a piece off permanently • Survive 25 levels of increasing speed THE CHOICE AT LEVEL 10 Halfway through, you decide: - RISK: speed climbs faster, scores ×1.5 - SAFE: a gentler pace, scores ×0.8 Choose wrong and the last 15 levels will punish you. PERFECT STREAK Land consecutive perfect taps and the sound rises with each one. Precision under pressure has its reward.
