Synergy n. The combined effort of two or more things that creates an effect stronger than the sum of their individual parts. Synergism is a content-rich Idle Incremental game that expands on this concept, with many prestige layers, hundreds of achievements, pretty little pixel-art icons, and more! You begin your Synergism journey with just a pittance of 100 coins. Hire your first worker, and the rest will be history. That little worker will be relevant even late into the game, and those late game features in turn empower your worker. Synergy! Here's just a few highlights and fun facts about Synergism: * Actively developed since July 2019, and publicly released to the web on May 1, 2020. * Frequent minor and major updates! * A challenge system! That develops on itself again, and again, and again. * Almost 500 Achievements, and more will be added in future updates. * A progression system that heavily favors exploration, without requiring the perfect setup to make progress. * Mechanics that, well, Synergize. Is that even a word? It is now. * A story that, while loosely connected, makes more sense when you look at it from a certain point of view. * Probably over a hundred music references that Platonic hopes you'll get. Can you spot them all? * Even more random references that Platonic put into the game through happenstance. * Events that can be activated by other online players! Also, occasional events set by the developers! * Hand-drawn pixel art that represents upgrades in all stages of the game! * The Ant God. The Ant God wants your Galactic Crumbs. Synergism is the efforts of Platonic and Khafra, made over the course of the past six years, with all the love you can put into a passion project. It is our flagship game, and we are proud to finally bring it to the App Store! Terms of Service (TOS): https://synergism.cc/terms-of-service

About

Idle Climbing Tycoon

Read full description

Open your climbing gym, grow it… and let it run while you live your life. You start in a small hangar with a wall, a handful of holds, and plenty of ambition. Tap the wall to climb, level up your sectors, recruit route setters, and open room after room — from a simple hangar to competition arenas… and well beyond. AN IDLE GAME MADE FOR CLIMBERS • Tap the wall: every hold has its color, from yellow to white, just like a real gym. Get lucky and land a perfect route for a big bonus! • Ten sectors to unlock: kids' area, boulder wall, lead wall, weight room, campus board, speed wall, natural wall, physio/prep center… • Route setters to recruit: each brings their own talent to your team, and their elite version pushes it even further. • Gear to upgrade: shoes, harness, rope, chalk bag, brush, hangboard, helmet, competition kit… • Endless rooms: every new room starts back at zero, but pays far more than the last. Old rooms keep earning for you in the background. IT KEEPS RUNNING EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT • Offline earnings: your gym keeps producing while you're away, for up to several hours. • The Rush: launch it to double all your income for a minute, then let it recharge. • A seven-day daily reward, sponsor crates, achievements to claim… there's always a good reason to come back. RESPECTFUL OF YOUR TIME • No forced ads: videos are optional and always give you something in return. • No account, no social features. • Helpful notifications, switchable off anytime in Settings. • A simple, colorful world, built to stay light. OPTIONAL IN-APP PURCHASES The game can be finished without ever buying anything. If you want to move faster or support the game, you can buy starter packs, chalk, or the "Lifetime Income ×2" bonus. Permanent purchases can be restored at any time. An empty gym, a brand-new wall, and climbers just waiting for you. Ready to open the first route?
