SECTOR 99
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sector 99 is a vast network of hostile battle zones drifting in deep space. No one remembers who built it. Automated defenses still patrol its sectors, endlessly producing combat machines designed to destroy anything that enters. But something else entered. You are a single combat entity moving through the system — a consciousness bound to an evolving battle form. You begin small, fragile, and surrounded by enemies. Destroy them. Absorb resources. Adapt. Every sector you clear leads to another, more dangerous zone. Enemy machines multiply, defenses intensify, and massive boss constructs appear to stop anything attempting to push deeper. Your entity evolves as you progress. Modify your shield color, upgrade your weapon systems, increase shield speed, and strengthen your defenses to survive longer against overwhelming forces. Every run becomes a different evolution. Some players become fast, agile energy forms that outrun enemies. Others build slow but unstoppable entities capable of absorbing huge damage. But Sector 99 never stops escalating. More enemies. More chaos. More sectors. And somewhere deeper inside the system lies the question no one has answered yet: How far can an entity survive? Gameplay You control a single evolving combat entity inside an endless chain of sectors. Destroy enemy machines, collect resources, upgrade your abilities, and push deeper into increasingly dangerous environments. Each sector becomes more intense than the last, introducing new enemies, stronger defenses, and powerful boss encounters. Survival is not guaranteed. Features Control a unique combat entity Customize shield color and combat style Upgrade weapons, shields, and speed Fight through endless sectors Face powerful boss enemies Adapt your strategy every run Fast-paced arcade survival gameplay Most entities don’t make it past Sector 10. Some reach Sector 30. No one knows what waits beyond Sector 99.

Build a city from its first camp into a lasting bastion in Code Bastion, a strategic idle clicker and incremental city-builder. Begin in Summary, where every tap matters. Gather wood, stone, food, and science through quick actions, manage your energy, watch your population, and keep your city moving even while you are away. Your resources continue to grow through citizen jobs and buildings, while seasons, incidents, and storage limits keep every plan under pressure. Move to Development to unlock a large skill tree across economy, construction, society, and expeditions. Each research choice opens new buildings, improves production, increases storage, strengthens manual gathering, expands your population, and prepares your city for the frontier. Turn a fragile settlement into a reliable system of farms, sawmills, quarries, mines, warehouses, markets, universities, barracks, walls, and more. Use the Resources screen to assign citizens to the jobs that matter most. Balance food, wood, stone, iron, coal, steel, gold, science, and influence. Build capacity before production overflows, keep enough workers in essential buildings, and adapt to changing seasons. Missions give every stage of the city a direction. Complete daily tasks, pursue a weekly campaign, and progress through a five-chapter city legacy: found the settlement, grow it into a city, open the frontier, endure its threats, and build a lasting legacy. When the city is ready, enter Expeditions. Train citizens, assign roles, craft preparation items, reveal a procedural map tile by tile, recruit from camps, discover points of interest, and research a catalogue of hidden treasures. Beyond the walls, every expedition can bring resources, experience, discoveries, and risks. Prepare for incursions with passive defenders and a timed defense challenge. Gather temporary materials, build defenses, create weapons, and decide how to hold the line when the frontier strikes back. CODE BASTION FEATURES Idle clicker and strategic incremental progression Quick actions, energy management, and offline progress Deep skill tree with research, upgrades, and unlocks Resources, citizen jobs, buildings, storage, and seasons Daily tasks, weekly campaigns, and city-wide goals Procedural exploration map, expeditions, equipment, and loot Treasure research, defense roles, incursions, and timed battles Five supported languages: English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian Build deliberately, explore carefully, and defend what you have created.
