Read full description

AFK Camp is a cozy idle game that turns screen‑free time into a magical hero collection. Earn campfire minutes, unlock new heroes, breed them, trade on the market, and compete on leaderboards. How it works Start a campfire session (10–120 minutes) and put your phone aside. When you return, claim your minutes and Coals – the camp's special currency. Spend 30 minutes to generate a hero. Each hero is born from a random 256‑bit genome: race, element, passive abilities, stats, and rarity. Hero collection Collect knights, mages, elves, dragonkin, and more. Every hero appears as their own campfire: flame color, glowing coals (passives), stones, and smoke reveal their traits. Explore passive abilities on an interactive hexagonal grid – tap a coal to learn what your hero can do. Breeding heroes Combine two heroes in the camp to create offspring with new gene combinations. Crossover and mutations produce surprising results – from common to mythic. Inherit the best passives from parents or discover completely new ones. Coals Market Spend Coals on hero crates (common, rare, epic, legendary, mythic). Buy boosts, rename tokens, and campfire skins. Choose what fits your playstyle. Achievements & Leaderboards Earn achievements for heroes collected, collection rarity, campfire hours, and successful breeds. Compete with other players on global or friends leaderboards by total campfire time. Track your progress and climb the ranks. AFK Camp doesn't demand constant attention – short sessions, deep gameplay, cozy atmosphere. Perfect for anyone who wants to spend less time on the screen without losing game progress. Download AFK Camp and build your legendary camp today.

Make America Orbital! Start with a humble Flag Stand and build an idle empire that spans the Solar System, the Milky Way, the Known Universe — and now the entire Multiverse. Tap to earn, buy businesses, hire a cabinet of cartoon Founding Fathers and historical presidents to run them for you — and watch the money roll in, even while you're away. 50 BUSINESSES ACROSS 5 WORLDS From Apple Pie Diners and Monster Truck Rallies to Lunar Cheese Mines, Black Hole Casinos, Big Bang Reenactments and Schrödinger's Deli. Every world has its own economy, currency and soundtrack — and they all keep earning at the same time. EVERY WORLD PLAYS DIFFERENTLY • Earth: settle citizens' dilemmas at the Town Hall — every answer pays off differently • Solar System: ride Solar Flares that supercharge a business to ×5 speed • Milky Way: negotiate Alien Treaties that reshape your economy • Known Universe: spend Temporal Loops to replay history for profit • The Multiverse: anchor a business across every reality and watch it grow ×10 A CABINET OF PARODY PRESIDENTS Hire Abe Lincorn, Teddy Roosebolt, Franklin D. Rocketvelt, Robo-Lincoln 3000, Mirror Washington and 45 more hand-drawn caricatures. Promote them to Cabinet Secretaries to slash expansion costs, and unlock seniority perks as they serve. Read all their (mostly) true stories in the Codex. DEEP PROGRESSION A thousand upgrades, milestone speed boosts, Elections that attract Patriot Donors, a Colonial Tribute for every world you conquer, and the ultimate reset: the Constitutional Convention — spend its Amendments on a Bill of Rights full of permanent perks. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY Sign a new Executive Order every day and combine up to five for powerful bonuses. Daily login rewards, missions, Weekly Goals, 700+ achievements, flying sky bonuses and a new 3-day event every 3 days with permanent Liberty Badges. COMPETE EVERY WEEK Debate rival candidates in timed challenges, battle a new monster in the 24-hour Weekly Showdown every Saturday, and climb event and Showdown leaderboards in groups of 50–100. Game Center leaderboards and achievements included. THE SPACE RACE Every week a rival power — like the Grand Duchy of Blandovia — races you to the stars. Beat them by Monday to climb from Bronze to the Galactic League. LIBERTY PASS & PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY Climb 30 reward tiers every season, and collect cards of the whole Cabinet to multiply your profits. Cards are earned by playing, never sold. MAKE IT YOURS Themes, icon frames and Cabinet looks — from the Gilded Age to Synthwave Senate. Purely cosmetic. PLAY YOUR WAY Unlimited offline earnings, iCloud sync and on-device backups, a Chief of Staff who can auto-hire and auto-pass bills, best-buy hints, three number formats, English and Spanish, adjustable text size, color-blind friendly mode, reduced motion and VoiceOver support. Star-Spangled Tycoon is a lighthearted parody. All politicians depicted are historical figures or fictional characters with parody names; no endorsement is implied.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AFK Camp at none against Star's 10. AFK Camp also leads on ads (none vs shown). Star's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
