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/

About

Little Lifeline

Features
Read full description

Your first patient is at reception. Collect their payment, hire a nurse and give your little clinic its first success. Little Lifeline is a miniature 3D clinic management game. Watch people check in, wait, receive care and find their way home. Use the money they leave at reception to improve the next visit. START SMALL Begin with one reception desk and one first-aid room, plus 250 coins and 5 gems to get going. Your first payment hires the first nurse. As more patients arrive, choose when to add staff, another treatment station and a comfortable waiting room. FOLLOW THE WHOLE VISIT Queues form inside the reception, and seats and moving patients show where your clinic needs help. Tap the cash at each counter and watch coins fly to your wallet. Build a car park where drivers pay at the barrier on the way out, add toilets and vending, and watch patients walk back to their cars and drive away. IMPROVE WHAT MATTERS Train individual staff members and upgrade each desk and treatment station. Every room has twenty pieces of equipment that arrive as you renovate, and each piece has ten versions, from basic to advanced. Upgrade them to shorten check-ins, treatments and waits, add decorations, and renovate rooms to unlock more. Watch each room rebuild while existing services keep working. One builder works at a time; a second builder lets two rooms build at once. OPEN A SECOND CLINIC Fully upgrade the starter clinic and spend 100,000 earned coins to open the larger doctors clinic. Add private consultations, pharmacy dispensing and a taxi stand; pharmacy counters and taxis collect coins from patients too. Grow to four receptionists, four doctors, four nurses and two pharmacists. Travel between your clinics with a shared wallet and separate patients, facilities and counter cash. GOALS, GEMS AND A HELPING HAND A short guide shows your next best step and rewards you for learning each feature. Three fresh goals arrive every day, a login streak builds toward bigger rewards, and milestones pay out free gems as your clinic grows. Spend gems to finish a renovation now, top up your coins, double your collections for a while or let your staff earn for longer while you're away. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME Pan and pinch to explore the clinic and its neighbourhood. Hear an original score and little sounds of daily activity, with separate Music and Effects controls. Adjust haptics and Less motion in Settings. Your staff keep earning for up to eight hours while you're away, until the tills are full. Come back to collect their earnings from reception and decide what to improve next. Play without an account or advertisements. Optional gem packs and a second builder are available as in-app purchases; every room, upgrade and clinic can be earned by playing. The clinic simulation works offline. Little Lifeline is a fictional management game and does not provide medical advice.
