Build a blacksmith empire, one tap at a time. EmberForge is a classic idle tycoon and incremental clicker with a forge theme: tap the anvil to earn gold, hire Apprentices and Blacksmiths to keep it flowing while you're away, and unlock ever more powerful producers as your empire grows all the way up to the legendary Dragon Forge. FEATURES • Simple, addictive tap-to-earn core loop • 8 tiers of producers with deep upgrade paths • Reforge system — prestige for permanent Ember Shard bonuses • Ascension — a second prestige layer for players who've maxed out Reforging • Achievements and a daily reward streak • Game Center leaderboards — compare gold and Reforges with everyone else • Unlockable cosmetic anvil skins • Offline earnings — your forge keeps working while you're away FAIR MONETIZATION EmberForge never locks gameplay behind a paywall. Every producer and upgrade is earnable through play. In-app purchases are limited to cosmetics and optional convenience never pay-to-win. Rewarded ads are entirely opt-in. Start forging.
