Build pyramids and grow a lasting village in ancient Egypt. Pyramid Idle combines incremental construction with a settlement you keep developing. Switch between two modes, plan your economy and turn a few stone blocks into something monumental. GROW A VILLAGE THAT LASTS Start with workers, a quarry, basic food and water. Assign your people where they are needed, balance taxes and wages, and keep your settlement supplied. Expand a permanent pyramid shell by shell: each new layer builds on what you have already achieved. DEVELOP YOUR PRODUCTION As the pyramid grows, unlock new buildings and production chains. Improve workshops, water supply and food production. Develop ships and trade, then work towards later research and city projects. Plan construction and save worker assignments to make your next visit count. TAKE ON CLASSIC PYRAMID PROJECTS Choose a pyramid height and explore 11 materials. Balance mining, transport and construction, earn Ankhs and develop research, talents and permanent upgrades. Discover the Trials of Ra as your journey continues. PLAY AT YOUR PACE Return to offline progress, adjust your workforce and choose your next investment. A replayable tutorial introduces the Village mode. Optional cloud synchronization uses Game Center and iCloud Drive; local play needs no app login. The Village mode is included without an extra purchase. Both modes share one Pyramids balance. Optional Pyramids packs are available as in-app purchases and can be used for boosts. Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Simplified Chinese.

About

Labmaster

Features
Read full description

Labmaster is an idle computer lab tycoon about growing a tiny rack into a huge server farm that actually runs. Drop nodes, match colored ports, and keep data flowing through processors, buffers, gateways, and bigger lab parts. A simple route starts earning credits, then guided contracts push you to rebuild smarter, unlock more tools, and expand across 12 rack rows. It starts easy: blue goes with blue, yellow output goes to gateways, and clean routes earn more. As the lab expands, splitters, upgrades, energy limits, and generated missions turn each layout into a satisfying incremental optimization puzzle. Core features: - Build a visual node graph with colorful live connections. - Route data through processors and gateways to earn in-game credits. - Grow an idle server farm across 12 expandable rack rows. - Add buffers, splitters, CPUs, and late-game system parts. - Follow clear three-step missions and rebuild smarter. - Zoom, drag, expand, and keep improving your computer empire. - Optional rewards and boosts stay optional. Labmaster is designed as a free-to-play game. Credits and cash shown in the game are fictional in-game resources and are not real-money earnings.
