The galaxy is in flames of war. Take control of your advanced task force squad units and capture enemy positions defended by simpler bots but in much greater numbers. Prepare and set your defences, so that your base can protect your loot from other players attacks. There are three distict civilisations in this game and you need to pick one side: A = Advanced alien civilisation with a lot of hovering units, hi-tech weapons and systems. Main geometrical base sign is circle. C = Cyborgs, robots, insect-like cheap units, controlled by freed artificial intelligence, mostly bots on several mechanical legs, main geometrical base sign is triangle. U = United, ordinary people, heavy-armored and have great defence, heavy vehicles and units, but expensive, main geometrical base sign is rectangle.

About

GridOp

Features
Read full description

GridOp is an idle strategy game that runs the real physics of a power grid. You run a U.S. regional grid: place transmission lines between power plants and cities, energize new customers, and keep the lights on as demand climbs. Under the hood, a genuine DC power-flow solver computes how electricity actually moves — congestion, overloads, and cascading blackouts are real consequences of how you built your grid, not scripted events. Every failure is one you can understand. Push a line past its limit and it trips; the power reroutes, and if a neighbor can't carry the load, the cascade begins. A plain-language panel tells you exactly what failed and why — so you learn the grid by running it. WHAT YOU DO • Build freely — place transmission lines across a stylized regional map • Energize cities, from a rural co-op to a data center, as your grid grows • Watch real load flow — line color and animated power tell you where the strain is • Trace every cascade back to a decision you made • Engineer redundancy so a single line failure never takes you down (N-1 thinking) • Weather heat waves, storms, and wildfires that threaten the grid • Prestige and rebuild smarter each cycle with what you've learned WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most "grid" games fake it with +1 buttons. GridOp is honest: a real load-flow solver is the engine, so the grid behaves like the real thing. Whether you're an engineer, a student, or just grid-curious, it turns the invisible machine that powers modern life into something you can actually operate. No account. No ads. No in-app purchases.
