Tap an asteroid. Build a mining empire. Then destroy it — and come back stronger. IDLE SPACE MINING is an idle game about scale. You start hand-mining ore from a bare rock. You end up rewriting local physics so the ore was always there. BUILD THE COLONY Twenty-six machines, from a rickety Drone Hangar to the Terminus Drillhead. Each one runs its own harvest cycle — watch the bars fill, watch the ore land. Every 10 you own doubles that machine's output, and every tier lifts the one beneath it. CHOOSE YOUR DOCTRINE At each tier you pick ONE of three paths and forfeit the other two. Triple your early generators, or cut the price of everything, or tighten your milestones. There is no right answer — and you re-decide every single run. ASCEND When growth stalls, collapse the whole colony into a singularity. You lose your ore, your generators, your tech. You keep DARK MATTER — and every scrap you have ever earned makes you permanently stronger. Dark Matter is deliberately scarce. Each one matters. HEAT DEATH Then there's the prestige above prestige. Let the universe run down, trade everything — even your Dark Matter — for Star Shards, and buy upgrades that survive the end of everything. TAKE ON CHALLENGES Mine with no hands. Run with triple-length cycles. Build with only three generator types. Beat one and keep the bonus forever. CATCH COMETS Comets drift past while you play. Tap one for a lump of ore or a burst of production. EARN WHILE YOU SLEEP Your colony keeps mining when the app is closed. Come back to a pile. One optional ad, and only if you want it: watch a Supply Drop for double production for four hours. No banners, no interstitials, nothing that interrupts play. No energy timers, no countdown "offers". Just numbers going up, forever.

Tired of boring button games where you only watch numbers go up? Fed up with incremental games that promise progress... but barely show you anything? In The MachinEGG, your farm does not just improve: it transforms. You start with one chicken, a few eggs and a simple idea: produce, sell and upgrade. But soon that little farm becomes an increasingly efficient system, full of chickens, machines, automation and decisions that probably were not supervised enough. Buy chickens. Produce eggs. Sell more. Upgrade the farm. Automate the work. Then buy another chicken, because you almost always need another chicken. The MachinEGG is an incremental idle clicker game that combines egg production, farm simulation, casual progress, light tycoon gameplay and visual automation. Here, upgrades are not just numbers on a screen. When you unlock conveyor belts, autofill, quality stamps or new machines, the farm changes. Every upgrade is visible. Every system comes to life. Every egg becomes part of an increasingly absurd poultry machine. In The MachinEGG you will find: - Clear and satisfying idle clicker progress. - Chickens, eggs and constant upgrades. - Automation to reduce manual work. - Visible machines that transform the farm. - Simple pixel art style. - Casual sessions to progress at your own pace. - Several game modes to replay with new strategies. It is not just a button game. It is not just a farm. It is a small egg-producing machine that, for some reason, you have decided to optimize to the end. The MachinEGG. More eggs. More machines. More chickens.
