About

Cosmic Forge

Read full description

Cosmic Forge is a deep offline idle game about turning a single iron vein into an interstellar mining empire. START SIMPLE Tap rocks. Upgrade your shaft. Automate with a baseline foreman. Watch a transporter shuttle ore from the mine to the refinery, then to the warehouse, where it sells for Coins. Every component โ€” shaft, transporter, refinery, warehouse โ€” has its own milestone multipliers every 10 levels, so progression keeps unlocking speed and capacity spikes. UNLOCK THE COSMOS Beyond Alpha Asteroid there are comet clusters, planets, moons, anomalies, and singularity zones. Each location type has its own production multipliers and warehouse sell rates โ€” anomaly-grade minerals pay poorly per second but richly per sale. HIRE MANAGERS Common managers enable auto-mining; bonus managers stack passive multipliers and trigger powerful active abilities (instant trips, production boosts, free upgrades). Assign them per mine. Some managers survive prestige. RESEARCH TREE 50+ research nodes across multiple branches โ€” economy, production, transport, offline efficiency, stock capacity, coin multipliers, prestige. Queue active research in parallel slots (expand via Galactic Research). Every tier you complete compounds. PRESTIGE FOREVER Perform a Stellar Reset when the cosmos is ready. Earn Stardust based on your total iron-equivalent across every resource. Spend Stardust on permanent upgrades that carry across runs. Eventually unlock Galactic Ascension โ€” a meta-prestige layer with its own research tree and Dark Matter currency. DAILY CHALLENGES Three challenges per day with streak rewards at 7 and 14 days. Missed days reset the streak but the game doesn't punish absence. OFFLINE EARNINGS Step away for up to a week โ€” Cosmic Forge continues mining at a tapered efficiency schedule and rolls a summary up on your return. Research that was in flight completes while you sleep. COMPLETELY OFFLINE No account required. No internet required. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No tracking. No analytics. No SDKs phoning home. GOD MODE (OPTIONAL) Want to test builds, skip a grind, or just play sandbox? God Mode is free for everyone โ€” a one-tap toggle in Settings (behind a "this may corrupt your save" warning, because it really can). First public release โ€” 0.19.0. Thanks for playing through 100+ pre-release builds with us.

About

Dealer Simulator

Features
Read full description

You just took over Apex Motors, a franchise store that the last GM left bleeding. You have $120,000, thirty-eight cars, a service department that can't carry the building, and a rival across the highway that wants your best closer. Run every department like a real one: โ€ข THE FLOOR โ€” hire from real rรฉsumรฉs with traits that matter, turn dead deals over to the desk, work the be-back list, set objectives, run Saturday meetings and contests, pick from five pay plans, and take the big pencil yourself. โ€ข THE SHOP โ€” a flat-rate catalog of real repairs with book times, a tech ladder from lube rack to shop foreman, an express lane, loaners, a tire program, a wholesale counter, EV tooling, a body shop, and service contracts that come back as repair orders. โ€ข THE BOOKS โ€” deals that fund through contracts in transit, factory schedules, a twelve-item month-end close, budgets, used-car water, a controller, a bank that renews your line once a year, and owners who expect a distribution. โ€ข THE MARKET โ€” new and used lines that age differently, a book value that drifts weekly, interest rates and gas prices that move the whole county. โ€ข THE 20 GROUP โ€” a peer composite with sixteen KPIs, the guide set by the top half of stores like yours, and a monthly action plan you're held to. โ€ข THE EMPIRE โ€” buy the corner lot, the buy-here-pay-here, two franchise points, and finally Crestline itself. Ask Diesel, the old-timer who wanders your lot, anything about the business. Take on a twelve-scenario campaign with stars: the embezzler, the flood, the recall, the audit, the rust-belt turnaround, the empire. Learn the trade at Dealer University. Climb from Sales Manager to Dealer Principal, sell the group, and start again with a perk. Fifty-two achievements, three leaderboards, controller support, and a sandbox where nothing can go wrong.
