About

Labmaster

Features
Read full description

Labmaster is an idle computer lab tycoon about growing a tiny rack into a huge server farm that actually runs. Drop nodes, match colored ports, and keep data flowing through processors, buffers, gateways, and bigger lab parts. A simple route starts earning credits, then guided contracts push you to rebuild smarter, unlock more tools, and expand across 12 rack rows. It starts easy: blue goes with blue, yellow output goes to gateways, and clean routes earn more. As the lab expands, splitters, upgrades, energy limits, and generated missions turn each layout into a satisfying incremental optimization puzzle. Core features: - Build a visual node graph with colorful live connections. - Route data through processors and gateways to earn in-game credits. - Grow an idle server farm across 12 expandable rack rows. - Add buffers, splitters, CPUs, and late-game system parts. - Follow clear three-step missions and rebuild smarter. - Zoom, drag, expand, and keep improving your computer empire. - Optional rewards and boosts stay optional. Labmaster is designed as a free-to-play game. Credits and cash shown in the game are fictional in-game resources and are not real-money earnings.
