Research Rush vs Science & Runway

Research Rush is a Casual Lab Simulation Game where you build a team of scientists and strategically deploy upgrades to grow your lab. Recruit team members with custom boosts to reach new heights of scientific discovery, investor funding, and - of course - loot. Use random events to your advantage and build the dream team and achieve your science goals!

You're a biotech founder with $1.8M starting funding and a countdown clock. Every month, choose how to spend it: hire researchers, upgrade your lab facility, fund the R&D, and push your science forward. Pick your research project and the risk that comes with it. Low-risk projects have clear path but modest returns. Or go for a Moonshot project that has very low odds but can change the science forever! Your company moves through real stages, from Discovery to Exit-Ready, and your company valuation changes accordingly. Along the way, investors will offer equity deals, acquirers will come knocking with buyout offers and all the craziness of doing research! When the money runs out or you decide to sell your company, your story becomes your legacy. An archived record of the company you built, the science you funded, and the lives you affected. Play again with a new strategy, a new project, and a new outcome. Science & Runway is a full simulation, not an idle clicker. Every project, every hire, every event is calculated from real startup mechanics. No ads, no in-app purchases, no timers waiting to be skipped. Features: - Four research risk tiers, from steady science to civilization-scale moonshots - Full financial simulation: burn rate, facility tiers, R&D budgets, equity and investment offers - Six-stage company progressions from Discovery to Exit-Ready - Random events that shape your science and runway - Real decisions to be made: Are you going to accept the acquisition offer or complete your scientific vision and save lives?
