Every great tech empire starts with one line of code. Tap to ship it — then watch a tiny side project snowball into a runaway software juggernaut. Merge Conflict is an idle tycoon for anyone who's ever shipped on a Friday. Start by hand, shipping code tap by tap. Hit a rhythm to enter Flow State, where your output multiplies and lucky taps land critical commits. Then hire a team of developers who keep shipping while you're away — and keep earning even when the app is closed. Reinvest every line. Stack upgrades that compound your output, work the Sprint Board to stake code and merge pull requests for big payouts, and unlock perks that bend the curve in your favor. When growth slows, Pivot: prestige your company, bank the experience, and come back faster, richer, and harder to stop. FEATURES • Tap to ship — build a Flow State combo and chase critical commits • Hire a dev team that auto-ships 24/7, online or off • Compounding upgrades that turn small gains into exponential ones • Sprint Board & Pull Requests — stake code, merge for profit • Pivot & prestige — reset for permanent multipliers and a higher ceiling • Unlock a full career ladder of achievements • Offline income — your team keeps working while you don't • iCloud sync — pick up your empire on any of your devices • No ads. No paywalls. No tracking. Just the grind. Ship code. Get rich. Build your dev empire.
