Coral Fragger

Read full description

Coral Fragger is a relaxing idle-merge game set on a living coral reef. Drag corals together to merge them into rarer species, watch your reef grow on its own, and restore the ocean one fragment at a time. MERGE & GROW Drop matching corals onto each other to discover higher, more valuable species. With 93 corals to collect, every merge brings you closer to completing your catalogue. Leave the game and your reef keeps producing โ€” return to a bigger, brighter ocean. DEFEND YOUR REEF Crabs lurk in the depths, ready to snatch your corals! Tap them quickly to catch them and earn bonus biomass. Stay vigilant โ€” your reef depends on it. RESTORE & PRESTIGE When your reef is thriving, restore it to start fresh with powerful permanent bonuses. Each restoration deepens the ecosystem and pushes you further than before. BUILD YOUR ECOSYSTEM Unlock and upgrade 8 reef buildings โ€” from Solar Water Heaters and Plankton Incubators to the Quantum Reef Scanner. Each one speeds up spawning, boosts production, extends combo windows, and more across three tiers of depth. KEEP IT TIDY Low-level corals can clutter the board and block your merges. Send the Foxface rabbitfish to sweep through and graze them down โ€” clearing space while earning biomass and a little extra. DAILY QUESTS & REWARDS Complete daily quests for gem rewards. Open mystery boxes, spin the random box, and discover hidden species. Log in every day to keep your streak alive! RELAXING BY DESIGN A calm, underwater soundscape, gentle animations, and no pressure. Play actively with satisfying combos, or let it idle in the background. COMPETE & COLLECT โ€ข 19 Game Center achievements and 5 leaderboards โ€ข Daily login rewards and streak bonuses โ€ข Mystery boxes, a random reward minigame, and hidden species to discover Coral Fragger is free to play.

About

Labberdash

Features
Read full description

Somewhere behind the water heater, a closet is quietly becoming a datacenter. LabberDash is a comedic idle/tycoon game about secretly building an absurd homelab โ€” one Raspberry Pi, one NAS, one suspiciously large Amazon box at a time โ€” while keeping your spouse none the wiser. Think Papers, Please meets r/homelab. WATCH THE SUS METER Every loud fan, hot server, and unexplained package raises your spouse's suspicion. Let it climb too high and you'll face a Spouse Encounter โ€” play your Alibi cards ("it's for work," "it's a tax write-off") to talk your way out before disaster hits. MANAGE A REAL POWER BUDGET Your circuit has real limits. Overload it and you'll trip the breaker, killing every server at once. Panel upgrades and a Solar tier raise your headroom โ€” and quietly launder your habit while you're at it. BUILD AN ABSURD HARDWARE CATALOG Grow from a single Pi to a full rack: NAS storage, a media server, a crypto rig, a virtualization host, and more โ€” each individually upgradeable, each with its own power draw, noise, and Sus cost. BALANCE THE HOUSE Not every purchase has to be LabberTech. DomestiTech gear โ€” smart plugs, video doorbells, robot vacuums โ€” lowers Sus and keeps the peace, if you're willing to spend Compute on looking responsible. No pay-to-win, no forced ads, no loot boxes โ€” everything in LabberDash is earn-able through normal play. Optional in-app purchases and rewarded video ads are there if you want to speed things up, never because you have to. Can you go from one Pi to a full rack without ending up on the couch?
