One small airplane. One route. $120,000 in the bank... That's how every aviation empire starts. Idle Flight Manager is a live-world airline management game where you draw routes on a real map, buy real aircraft, and watch your fleet grow from a single regional prop plane into a global operation of Boeing 747s and Airbus A380s. Earn revenue around the clock, even while you're offline. What you do: Tap airports to design multi-stop routes. Assign a plane and it begins flying the circuit immediately: carrying passengers, landing, turning around, and flying again. The map fills with glowing route lines as your airline expands. Revenue ticks up with every completed leg. Key features: - Live world map: real-time plane icons move along your routes on a global map that grows as you unlock regions. - 50+ real aircraft across 10 tiers. From ATR turboprops and Embraer regional jets to Boeing 777s, Airbus A380s, and exotic premium aircrafts. - 9 unlockable world regions. Expand from US domestic routes to international routes: Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. - Make money while you sleep: flights complete and income accumulates offline; return to a fully loaded airline fleet! - Random events: crew strikes, tourism booms, fuel price drops, and government subsidies keep operations unpredictable - Reward drones: spot drone icons flying across the map and tap to collect bonus cash or miles! - Auto Flight Manager: assigns planes, creates routes, and re-optimizes your entire network automatically. - Daily used-plane market, 8 rotating listings at steep discounts or spot-buy a rival's plane directly off the live map. Progression and Fleet Management: - Level up by completing route circuits and unlock the next tier of aircraft. Manage plane condition carefully. Let it fall below 50% and revenue drops noticeably. Let it fall below 30% and costs stack heavily. - Set pricing per route to match your strategy. Economy fills every seat at lower fares. Luxury charges almost double per passenger but risks flying half-empty. - Build hub airports where multiple routes converge to earn a network revenue bonus. Take bank loans to fund bold expansion. Spend miles to unlock countries, each opening new airports and longer, more profitable routes. The aircraft catalog: - Start with regional turboprops on short domestic hops. Work through narrow-bodies like the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo. Progress into wide-bodies such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A330neo. - Finally unlock the legendary flagships: the 747-8, the A380plus, and rare premium aircraft for the most ambitious operators. Collect exclusive variants like the Stealth 787, the Golden A380, the Concorde Neo, and the Zero-G Orbiter. Your airline, always working: Over 150 NPC airlines populate the skies with ambient traffic. Speed boosts let you accelerate to 2x or 10x speed. Every 7 in-game days, a weekly report delivers claimable cash, miles, and route credits. Your fleet never stops, with or without you. Start your first flight. The world map is waiting.

Read full description

Deep Corp is a strategic management sim set in the waning days of the Wild West, blending resource extraction, production chains, and regional governance. Build and manage a mining company, organize resources and transportation, develop local industry, and, as the region’s new governor, help restore a devastated frontier. DIG DEEP & MANAGE YOUR MINES Explore underground areas, conduct geological surveys, and discover valuable deposits. Dig tunnels, hire miners, assign workers, and design efficient mine layouts. Resources are not extracted automatically. Place warehouses carefully, organize mine cart traffic, and prevent underground traffic jams that can slow down your entire operation. BUILD A LOGISTICS NETWORK Extracting resources is only the beginning. Connect mines, factories, warehouses, and towns with efficient transport routes. Buy and upgrade carts, deliver resources where they are needed, and build reliable supply chains as your mining company expands. Every route matters: one weak link can disrupt the entire economy. DEVELOP YOUR INDUSTRY Turn raw materials into valuable goods. Open new factories, unlock recipes, and combine materials from different production sites. Coordinate extraction, storage, manufacturing, and delivery as one connected system. REBUILD CITIES AS GOVERNOR Take responsibility not only for your company, but for the surrounding region as well. Fulfill city orders, deliver essential goods, and help devastated frontier towns recover. Successful deliveries earn you money, new workers, and access to further expansion opportunities. Fail to complete key orders, and your approval rating will fall. DEEP CORP FEATURES: • Mining Strategy: Dig tunnels, survey deposits, hire miners, and manage worker assignments. • Resource Management: Organize extraction, storage, manufacturing, and delivery. • Transport Network: Build routes, upgrade carts, and prevent traffic jams. • Production Chains: Unlock recipes and manufacture increasingly complex goods. • Town Restoration: Fulfill orders, rebuild towns, and develop the frontier. • Wild West Economy: Grow a mining company and restore a struggling region. Dig deeper, build smarter, and become an industrial tycoon in Deep Corp!
