About

Tensor Tycoon

Features
Read full description

Start with a handful of GPUs. End up mass-producing universes. Tensor Tycoon is an idle game about scaling an AI compute empire from a few graphics cards to infrastructure that spans galaxies. Buy GPUs, generate cash, mine metal, and build increasingly absurd tiers of production: chip foundries, robot factories, orbital rings, dyson swarms, and beyond. The core loop is simple: each tier produces the tier below it. But the numbers get big fast, and figuring out when to invest in a new tier versus when to keep stacking what you have is where the actual decisions live. Buy too early and your production crashes. Wait too long and you're leaving growth on the table. What's in the game: - 15 production tiers, from GPU to Multiverse Node - 4 resource systems that unlock as you progress - Production upgrades, efficiency boosts, and fusion reactors - Offline progress: your empire keeps running while you're gone - Achievements with production bonuses - Strategic reserves to protect your stockpiles This game is based on the fantastic web game SwarmSim https://www.swarmsim.com/

Build something monumental, one stone at a time. Pyramid Idle is an incremental strategy game about planning, production and progress. Begin with sandstone, send workers to the quarry and guide each block from extraction to transport to its place in your pyramid. PLAN YOUR PRODUCTION Divide your workforce between mining, transport and construction. Provide food and housing, develop your logistics and choose quarry routes that keep stones moving. A growing pyramid needs more than speed: it needs a well-balanced supply chain. CHOOSE YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE Explore 11 materials and choose the height of each new pyramid. Work towards higher records, review your statistics and see expected Ankh rewards when your chosen build earns them. Use Ankhs for research and shape your progress with talents and permanent upgrades. DISCOVER THE TRIALS OF RA Take on Trials of Ra and explore Ra Cycles as your journey develops. Make choices that change the demands of your next build and give your growing civilization new goals. KEEP PROGRESSING Offline progress lets your project advance while you are away. Return to check production, adjust your workforce and decide where to invest next. Stay involved with manual construction or focus on managing the chain that brings your pyramid to life. From your first sandstone blocks to ambitious record builds, every pyramid begins with a plan. Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Simplified Chinese.
