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.

Wall It is a fast, elegant strategy duel: be the first to walk your pawn to the far side of the board — while dropping walls to send your opponent the long way around. No openings to memorize. No sprawling rulebook. You learn it in thirty seconds, then spend weeks getting good at it. Every turn is a simple choice with deep consequences: do you move, or do you build.
