Tech Startup Idle Tycoon vs CRUNCH

Start in a garage and build a tech empire across three businesses: consumer hardware, artificial intelligence and cars. Produce PCs, tablets, laptops and smartphones, supply your stores and reinvest every sale in your next expansion. BUILD A HARDWARE STARTUP Create and upgrade a growing range of technology products. Move from your first PCs to tablets, laptops and smartphones, then scale your small startup into a larger production operation. CONNECT PRODUCTION AND SALES Manage factories, keep your stores supplied and sell to customers. Balance production with sales, improve your facilities and expand from a small shop into larger stores. Your warehouse and deliveries connect the different parts of the business. BUILD YOUR TEAM AND YOUR COMPANY Hire employees, improve your offices and grow the team behind your products. Decide what to upgrade next and reinvest your earnings in the next stage of your company. LAUNCH AN AI STARTUP Enter the artificial intelligence industry and add a new company to your portfolio. Invest in its growth as your business empire expands beyond consumer electronics. BUILD A CAR STARTUP Open a car factory and build up your vehicle production. Expand its production lines, improve the operation and turn your automotive startup into another pillar of your empire. GROW YOUR TECH EMPIRE Manage hardware, AI and automotive businesses in one business management game. Tycoon progression and idle earnings give you more to reinvest when you return. Start small, open new industries and grow three startups into one expanding tech empire.

Build the empire. Keep the receipts. CRUNCH is a dark, cutthroat studio-management tycoon. You start alone in a 1982 garage with a little cash and a lot of nerve — and claw your way to a game-industry empire across fifty brutal years. Make games. Make money. Make enemies. DESIGN GAMES THAT MATTER (OR SELL) Pick a topic, a genre, and a platform, then steer three stages of development across nine craft fields. Balance design against technology, match your focus to what the genre demands, squash the bugs you can afford to, and ship it — then watch four critics decide your fate in real time. BUILD A TEAM. THEN MIND IT. Hire programmers, artists, designers, and writers, each with their own talent, traits, and breaking point. Crunch buys speed and costs souls. Push too hard and your best people burn out and walk — straight into a rival's open door. SURVIVE THE INDUSTRY Predatory publishers. A venture capitalist whose money is a leash. Lawsuits, leaks, scandals, console wars, and a charismatic rival who considers your existence a rounding error. Eighty-plus events force real trade-offs: money or morale, reputation or quality, your integrity or your survival. GROW AN EMPIRE Research new genres and engine features. Move out of the garage, into a studio floor, a tower, a campus. Build your own console. Launch a live-service operation the players never leave. Forty fictional platforms rise and fall across six eras of an industry that eats its own. EVERY CHOICE IS A TRADE An authored story with a cast you'll grow attached to — and multiple endings. The empire. The acquisition. The cult legend. The reckoning. The landfill. How you get there is up to you, and it costs something either way. - 14 genres, 44 topics, 40 platforms across 6 eras - A deep research tree, your own console, and live-service late game - 80+ branching events and a multi-act story with several endings - Sign in with Apple to sync your studio across devices via iCloud — or play as a guest - Designed for iPhone and iPad, with a clean, dark, native interface - No ads.
