Silicon Evolution vs Exchange

Start with a single 8-bit CPU. End up running a quantum supercomputer. Everything in between is up to you. Silicon Evolution is an idle game about building a computing empire across 8 technology eras. Buy hardware, invest in research, prestige to keep your gains, and come back to find your empire still ticking away while you were gone. The research tree has 122 nodes across 11 categories - power, cooling, networking, security, virtualization and more. Each node has 5 levels. It takes a while to work through all of it, and that's kind of the point. Once you hit the 32-bit era, you pick an architecture path that sticks for the rest of the run: - Overclocker: your cycle output goes up 60% and the Boost button lasts twice as long - Architect: knowledge generation goes up 80% and research gets 40% cheaper - Resilience: offline earnings jump 120% and your legacy hardware earns 3x as much Prestige resets your hardware but not your silicon shards, which permanently multiply what you earn. Each run is a bit faster than the last. After enough runs you can reset everything for a leaderboard time and try to beat yourself. Old hardware never disappears - it becomes legacy income that keeps paying out forever. No paywalls. No timers you can pay to skip. The only in-app purchase removes ads, and that's it.

Exchange is a frontier commodities-trading incremental game. You are a lone trader building a fortune on a network of markets where prices move every day — driven by trends, cycles, volatility, and sudden news shocks. Read the regimes and allocate: buy low, sell high, and ship goods between markets to capture spreads. But arbitrage is never free — goods are locked in transit for days, so every spread is a timing bet. Manage real risk. Borrow on margin to amplify returns, but mind your maintenance margin: fall below it and your positions are force-sold. Push too hard and a margin call becomes bankruptcy. Retire and Refound to bank Reputation, scaled by your peak net worth, and spend it on permanent edges: more starting capital, cheaper fees and shipping, a bigger credit line, short selling, futures, optional securities desks, and rule-based automation so the late game runs hands-off. Features: • Eight markets and sixteen commodity complexes, each with its own price regime • Three shipping campaigns with fifteen chapters, deadlines, cash bonuses and lasting Reputation • Eleven freight investments: cheaper shipping, faster dispatch and richer new delivery bids • Inter-market shipping with route modes, transit time, cost, and arrival moments • Delivery contracts, closing auctions, and net opportunity scoring • Leverage, interest, margin calls, and the genuine risk of ruin • Short selling, futures, and optional paper desks unlocked through prestige • Standing-order automation for hands-off trading • A deterministic, seeded simulation — runs play out reproducibly • Pause and resume your campaign without losing your place Trade well.
