Keep Mining
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep Mining is a pick-up-and-play push-your-luck game about greed, gut feel, and knowing exactly when to walk away. Tap MINE to swing your pickaxe. Every hit drops diamonds into your run stash — and every hit makes the next one a little more likely to end in a cave-in, a gas pocket, or a very bad dynamite mishap. Cash out and the diamonds are yours forever. Push one tap too far and you lose the run — plus a chunk of the bank you've been building. So… one more tap? HOW IT PLAYS • Tap MINE to dig and collect diamonds • Watch the Run Risk meter climb from Steady → Tense → Risky → Dangerous → Critical • Bigger risk = bigger payouts and rarer jackpots • Cash out anytime to bank your stash safely • Blow up and you lose the run AND up to 65% of your bank WHY YOU'LL GET HOOKED • Pure one-thumb gameplay — perfect for elevators, queues, and "five more minutes" sessions that turn into thirty • Every run is a fresh decision: play it safe and bank small, or chase the deep-mine jackpot • Satisfying haptics, chunky sound design, and a real "ohhh nooo" moment when the screen flashes red • Track your Bank, Best Run, and Deepest Dig across sessions • No timers, no energy bars, no waiting — play whenever you want NO ACCOUNT. NO NONSENSE. Open the app, start mining. That's it. Built for short bursts. Engineered to make you say "okay, ONE more run." Good luck down there. The diamonds are deep. So is the dynamite.
Empire Investor

Empire Investor Build wealth one tap at a time. Empire Investor is an idle investment game where you start small, trade the markets, collect dividends, and grow into a full-blown financial empire. Every decision compounds — from your first stock pick to running companies you control. TRADE A LIVING MARKET Buy and sell stocks, crypto, commodities, and currencies in a simulated market that reacts to news, events, and market cycles. Watch prices move, follow the trade tape, and time your entries as headlines shift sentiment. Use the market terminal and analyst tools as you unlock them to spot opportunities and manage risk. GROW YOUR INCOME Tap to earn cash, invest in career upgrades, and unlock passive income that keeps working while you’re away. Collect quarterly dividends, manage loans carefully, and plan ahead for tax day. Rise through investor ranks as your net worth and lifetime earnings climb. BUILD YOUR EMPIRE Reach higher investor levels to unlock a holding company — your gateway from trader to tycoon. Acquire stakes in listed companies, take majority control, and manage subsidiaries: budgets, production, R&D, debt, spin-offs, and more. Run operations from your portfolio, track player and holding-company accounts separately, and pursue empire goals in your journal. DESIGNED FOR IDLE PLAY Progress offline, review quarter reports, and pick up where you left off. Optional sponsor boosts and video tickets can give you an edge when you want one — they’re never required to enjoy the core game. FICTIONAL MARKETS ONLY All companies, assets, and events are fictional. Empire Investor is a game — not financial advice, not a real brokerage, and not connected to real markets. From first job to empire builder. Start tapping. Start investing. Start building.
