AEON is a meditative, relaxing idle game about creating a universe from nothing. Tap the screen to draw scattered interstellar dust together — particles pull on each other like real physics and slowly grow. Given enough mass they become a molecular cloud, then a blazing star, a star system with orbiting planets, a cluster of thousands of stars, a vast galaxy, and beyond — galaxy clusters, superclusters, and the observable universe itself. Grow your cosmos far enough and Big Bang collapses it for a "cosmic constant." Strengthen the laws of physics — time dilation, fusion, gravity, dark matter — and open new laws and content on a discovery tree, so the next universe grows faster than the last. Watch long enough and life sprouts on some world, and a civilization lights the windows of its cities. They send signals, form alliances or wage war, and wonder about the creator of their universe. You watch over it all — and, now and then, grant a blessing. Features - Ten stages of evolution, from dust to the observable universe - Real N-body physics: particles clump and react - A differently-flavored universe every Big Bang — 24 traits, 5 galaxy types - Some universes arrive in a whole different visual language — monochrome, pixel art, green phosphor, cube, Hubble palette, ink wash, watercolor, or oil painting - Discover and record 27 real constellations of the night sky - Catch rare wonders — black holes, pulsars, quasars, and supernovae - Real meteor shower nights reach your universe too — seven showers a year, each with its own constellation and a dazzling peak - A discovery tree that unlocks new laws and content with each cosmic constant - Codex & milestones: permanent bonuses that outlive the Big Bang - A living universe — life and civilizations arise, signal, ally, and war - Offline progress and return notifications - Daily check-in gifts that grow each day, and a welcome-back gift after time away - Cloud save through Game Center — your progress follows you to a new device - Sixteen languages (EN, KO, JA, ZH-Hant, ZH-Hans, ES, DE, RU, UK, PT-BR, ID, VI, FR, IT, TR, PL), save backup/restore - A calm, relaxing cosmos — free to play with ads; one optional purchase removes them

About

INTEREST.EXE

Features
Read full description

Your role: tap the desk, and money comes out. Perform the role until the money performs itself. Questions are discouraged. INTEREST.EXE is a deadpan idle game about compound interest, corporate life, and the people who post about both. Grind at your cubicle. Buy instruments. Watch the line. Become a concept. • NUMBER GOES UP: every digit of your balance counts live, from $0.05 past the GDP of Earth • A PORTFOLIO YOU CAN SEE: piggy banks stack into towers, a rocket lands on your windowsill, at some point you own a small sun • TRADE THE LINE: buy low, sell high on a live market running on a tiny 3D laptop • SHAKE FOR VOLATILITY: HR will not elaborate • SURVIVE THE MARKET: recessions, audits, meme rallies, AI winters, tax season • CLIMB THE LADDER: from folding shirts to selling a course about selling courses to becoming a concept • COLLAPSE THE ECONOMY: on purpose, for bonds • WIN THE GAME: by exceeding the gross domestic product of Earth. The number keeps going up afterwards. That was always the point. Free to play, and the ads respect you: they only ever play when YOU press a button asking for one, in exchange for a boost. Nothing interrupts play, ever. No accounts, no cloud: your empire lives on your phone.
