About

Laundry Machine

Features
Read full description

Run your own laundromat, one garment at a time. Dirty laundry piles up on the shop floor. Drag it into a washing machine, hit start, and tip the load back out. Now it's wet, so it goes to the dryer. Dry clothes head to the ironing board one at a time and come back pressed, with a little star. Stack three matching pressed garments and they fold into a bale in that garment's own color. Drag the bale to the delivery van and get paid. That's the whole game: a production line you run with your thumb. WHAT YOU DO - Drag dirty laundry into a washer, four garments per load - Move the wet load to a dryer - Press dry garments on the ironing board, one at a time - Fold matching pressed garments into bales at the packing table - Load the delivery van to cash out EVERY STAGE HAS A PRICE Handing a damp shirt straight to the van pays pocket change. Take it all the way to a folded bale and it pays properly. Short on cash for another machine? Sell early. Playing the long game? Finish the line. BUILT FOR THUMBS - Pure drag and drop, no menus to fight - Only the right machine lights up, so you cannot misfeed the line - Every station is hand-drawn, right down to the drum paddles and the van's wheels - iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape - Works offline - Playable in 15 languages Wash. Dry. Press. Fold. Deliver. Repeat.

You started with a garage, a dream, and a marketing budget. Dojo Tycoon is a martial arts management simulation where you grow a single rented space into a multi-city franchise empire — one student, one belt, one dojo at a time. BUILD YOUR ROSTER Recruit students and watch them train. Each one has a skill level, satisfaction rating, and belt rank that advances through real training time — yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, brown, and black. Earn renown every time a student earns a new belt. HIRE YOUR TEAM Take on skilled instructors to handle growing classes. Match their discipline specialty to your students' styles for a satisfaction bonus. Keep your student-to-instructor ratio in check — overcrowded dojos breed unhappy students and higher dropout rates. CHOOSE YOUR DISCIPLINE Unlock five martial arts styles, each with its own student archetype, tuition rate, and retention profile: • Karate — the reliable foundation • Muay Thai — high energy, high turnover • BJJ — committed students, slow belt progression • Judo — steady and dependable • Taekwondo — fastest belt progressions in the game GROW YOUR EMPIRE Progress through four dojo stages: • Garage — scrappy start, 15 students max • Strip Mall — real space, real money, 30 students • Academy — full facility, four instructor slots, 60 students • Franchise — the dream, 80 students, city-wide reputation MANAGE YOUR FINANCES Balance tuition income against rent, utilities, insurance, instructor salaries, and marketing spend. Watch your cash flow daily. If you spend 30 consecutive days in the red, the bank calls in your debt — game over. RANDOM EVENTS Rival dojos open nearby. Local media covers a student's tournament win. A supply shortage hits your gear order. Every few in-game weeks, a narrative event fires that changes the landscape — respond wisely. ONE-TIME UNLOCK — NO SUBSCRIPTIONS The base game is free to play. A single $4.99 purchase removes the student cap and unlocks the Strip Mall expansion. No ads. No energy meters. No subscriptions. Pay once, own it.
