Antitrust

Features
Read full description

You are the new president of YOUR CORP. Your mission: total market domination. Start in the humble Potato market and work your way up through 24 increasingly cutthroat industries -- from Cupcakes to Consulting, from Hot Dogs to Real Estate, from Bubble Tea to Airlines. HOW IT WORKS Each market is a grid of businesses. Buy neighboring shops to expand your territory. The more you own, the more revenue you earn each turn. But you only get 5 purchases per round, so spend them wisely. Your competitors aren't sitting around. They're expanding too, buying up territory and eyeing yours. HOSTILE TAKEOVERS Every competitor has core businesses -- marked with white dots. Acquire more than half of them, and your lawyers handle the rest. Their entire empire folds into yours, along with their war chest. ANTITRUST CLAIMS Think a rival is getting too big? File an antitrust claim. They'll lose up to 70% of their territory. But be careful -- they can file against you too. Once all competitors are eliminated, the EXPANDING phase begins. Buy out every last independent business on the map. If you can afford it, you win. The more coins you have left over, the higher your star rating. FEATURES Turn-based strategy on a 3D grid 24 levels of increasing difficulty Hostile takeover mechanics Antitrust claim system Revenue and territory management 120 unique satirical competitors Star ratings based on efficiency No ads. No in-app purchases. Just strategy. Can you dominate every market without going bankrupt?

About

Cosmic Forge

Read full description

Cosmic Forge is a deep offline idle game about turning a single iron vein into an interstellar mining empire. START SIMPLE Tap rocks. Upgrade your shaft. Automate with a baseline foreman. Watch a transporter shuttle ore from the mine to the refinery, then to the warehouse, where it sells for Coins. Every component — shaft, transporter, refinery, warehouse — has its own milestone multipliers every 10 levels, so progression keeps unlocking speed and capacity spikes. UNLOCK THE COSMOS Beyond Alpha Asteroid there are comet clusters, planets, moons, anomalies, and singularity zones. Each location type has its own production multipliers and warehouse sell rates — anomaly-grade minerals pay poorly per second but richly per sale. HIRE MANAGERS Common managers enable auto-mining; bonus managers stack passive multipliers and trigger powerful active abilities (instant trips, production boosts, free upgrades). Assign them per mine. Some managers survive prestige. RESEARCH TREE 50+ research nodes across multiple branches — economy, production, transport, offline efficiency, stock capacity, coin multipliers, prestige. Queue active research in parallel slots (expand via Galactic Research). Every tier you complete compounds. PRESTIGE FOREVER Perform a Stellar Reset when the cosmos is ready. Earn Stardust based on your total iron-equivalent across every resource. Spend Stardust on permanent upgrades that carry across runs. Eventually unlock Galactic Ascension — a meta-prestige layer with its own research tree and Dark Matter currency. DAILY CHALLENGES Three challenges per day with streak rewards at 7 and 14 days. Missed days reset the streak but the game doesn't punish absence. OFFLINE EARNINGS Step away for up to a week — Cosmic Forge continues mining at a tapered efficiency schedule and rolls a summary up on your return. Research that was in flight completes while you sleep. COMPLETELY OFFLINE No account required. No internet required. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No tracking. No analytics. No SDKs phoning home. GOD MODE (OPTIONAL) Want to test builds, skip a grind, or just play sandbox? God Mode is free for everyone — a one-tap toggle in Settings (behind a "this may corrupt your save" warning, because it really can). First public release — 0.19.0. Thanks for playing through 100+ pre-release builds with us.
