AstroForge: Idle Miner is a space-mining incremental game where a single tap launches your journey from lone asteroid prospector to galaxy-spanning mining tycoon. Mine ore, refine it into credits, and reinvest in a fleet of ever-more-powerful extractors โ 8 tiers of machinery that keep earning while you play and while you're away, thanks to generous offline earnings.

Active tapping and idle strategy both pay off โ play your way.

Push even further with Void Dives, a second prestige layer with its own rewards for the truly ambitious. DISCOVER 30 ARTIFACTS Spend Star Cores to uncover from a pool of 30 powerful artifacts.

Idle Golf Range Tycoon
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your driving range is one cart, a lot of grass, and golfers who never stop swinging. Turn it into an empire. Drive out and sweep up the balls piling up down the range. Haul them back, run them through the washer, and fill buckets for the tee line. Every bucket pays. Every payout buys something that makes the next run faster. Widen your ball capacity. Add tee bays so more golfers arrive. Get the brush bar running so washing stops being the bottleneck. Put a robot fleet on the grass and let it collect while you handle the clubhouse. Brew coffee, serve it hot, and hire a courier so it delivers itself. Level up the range and watch the whole operation grow around you โ more golfers, more balls, more money, and a course that pays you just for owning it. Your range keeps earning while you're away. Come back to a full till and spend it on the next upgrade. No swing meters. No putting. Just the satisfying part: a range that runs itself, and a cart that never stops moving.
