TapBrew is an idle brewing game built for people who love beer and patient simulation. No flashy ads. No pay-to-win. Just a clean, deep tycoon experience: brew authentic recipes, manage parallel fermenters across six real stages, and grow from a single home garage into a full production hall. ▸ AUTHENTIC BREWING PIPELINE Six real stages — mashing, boiling, cooling, fermenting, conditioning, bottling. Every recipe needs water, malt, hops, and yeast. Hops and yeast spoil if you take too long, so timing matters. ▸ FOUR GARAGE TIERS Start with one fermenter in a home garage. Upgrade to a brewing shed, a microbrewery, and finally a full production hall with twelve concurrent fermenters. Sale prices scale up to 4×. ▸ FOUR RECIPES Pilsener, Porter, IPA and Imperial Stout. Unlock as you scale up. Each recipe has its own ingredient list, yield and lifetime revenue tracking. ▸ IDLE-FRIENDLY Batches advance while the app is closed. Welcome-back recap shows what finished while you were away. Optional local notifications when a batch is ready to bottle. ▸ PRESTIGE AND REPUTATION Master the late game, prestige, and bank permanent reputation points that multiply every future brew. Soft reset keeps the loop fresh. ▸ MADE FOR EVERYONE Fully localized in 19 languages. Four currencies. Full haptic and sound control. Settings → Export save lets you back up to clipboard or share preferences with a friend. ▸ YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE No advertising SDKs. No tracking. Your save lives on your phone by default. Optional anonymous cloud sync. Privacy by design. Published by Evnola OÖ. Privacy: tapbrew.evnola.com/privacy-policy

Pull back, let go, and bend your probe around a gravity well into the wormhole. The fewer flicks it takes, the better your score. Orbitfall is space golf with real gravity. The aim line only shows the start of your curve — never where you land — so every shot is a read, not a trace. Miss and you can recall the probe instantly and try the line again. FIVE REGIONS, FIVE NEW RULES • First Light — clean launches and steady gravity • Ember Reach — dense fields with several wells pulling at once • Reverse Field — repulsors that shove the probe away • The Drift — wells that orbit, so timing matters • Eventide — boost gates and everything combined Every sector is checked for at least two clean solutions before you ever fly it, so there is always a line to find. DAILY ORBIT — FREE, EVERY DAY Five sectors, the same five for every player worldwide. Your total flicks is your score, fewest wins, and the day's board is there without an account. KEEP A FLIGHT RECORD Lifetime flicks, per-sector bests, stars, medals, and unlockable probe trails. Share a card of your exact shot so a friend can watch the line you flew. WHAT'S FREE The first 12 campaign sectors, the full Daily Orbit and its leaderboard, medals and trails. No ads. Plays offline. GO PRO A one-time unlock or the StackForge Play Pass adds: • The rest of the campaign — every sector past 12 • Hardcore — fly the campaign with no aim preview at all • Weekly Gauntlet — a ranked seven-sector run with its own board • Flight Log — replay your best launch for each cleared sector, plus your career totals The Play Pass unlocks Pro in every StackForge game, plus One Good Thing.
