Curiosity Led the Slime Into the Unknown… Now It Must Find a Way Back! A one-eyed slime was simply minding its own business when it stumbled upon something strange—a narrow crack in the ground, leading deep underground. Curious as ever, it squeezed through the opening, eager to see what lay below. But once inside… the way back was gone. Now, trapped in a vast network of caves and forgotten ruins, the slime must navigate through dangerous terrain, dodge deadly traps, and uncover the path forward. Every tunnel, every cavern, and every bizarre new world is another step in its strange pilgrimage home. Find the Way Out In Slime Pilgrim, every level is a handcrafted puzzle. Some paths are clear, others cleverly hidden. No endless wandering—just focused exploration with purpose. The goal? Find the exit… and survive long enough to reach it. As the slime progresses, each chapter brings fresh obstacles, inventive mechanics, and eerie environments to explore. Some levels demand precise timing, others clever manipulation of physics, and some will test your mind as much as your reflexes. Curiosity got the slime into this mess… But will it be enough to guide it home? Game Features: — 10 Levels Per Chapter – Each chapter introduces new challenges, mechanics, and visual themes. — A World of Mysteries – From dark caves to ancient machinery, danger lurks in every corner. — Physics-Based Platforming – Stick to walls, squeeze through cracks, and harness momentum to survive. — Distinct Visual Style – An atmospheric world filled with moody lighting and handcrafted detail. — Diverse Environments – No two chapters feel the same, with unique gameplay twists in each. No filler. No loops. Just a focused, slimey adventure where every challenge has a solution. How Far Will Curiosity Take You? The slime isn’t lost—it’s searching. But the deeper it travels, the stranger everything becomes… and the harder it is to return. Will you help it complete the pilgrimage and find the way home? Download Slime Pilgrim and begin the journey now!

About

Tidepool Tycoon

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.
