About

Colony Zero

Features
Read full description

Colony Zero is a colony simulation where you never issue direct orders. You set priorities, policies, and conditions โ€” then ten colonists decide who mines, builds, farms, and explores. You land on an unknown world with a landing module, a generator, and a thirty-day survival goal. Keep food, water, energy, metal, minerals, electronics, plastic, and medicine in balance while health, happiness, and loyalty shift with every cycle. Propose buildings โ€” mines, greenhouses, solar panels, storage, and quarters for workers, engineers, and scientists โ€” then assign work on the colony map. Scan, repair, and trade from the action wheel as Outpost Alpha grows. People carry professions, traits, values, and ambitions. Friendships and rivalries form, factions appear, and autonomy requests can split districts from your control. Choose a governance model: Colony Council, Administrator, Corporate Colony, Military Command, or Free Settlement. Research new projects, manage the economy, and push into new biomes as days pass: Red Desert, Alien Forest, Frozen Zone, Volcanic Region, Ocean, and Crystal Caves. Daily events force hard choices. Survive the first thirty days, or watch the colony fail.

Read full description

Sprout Quest welcomes young learners into a cheerful garden where friendly sprouts guide playful practice with colors, shapes, and counting. From the Garden Hub, kids choose a mini quest and jump into three short, rewarding activities. Color Bloom Match asks them to find the orb that matches a glowing bloom. Shape Garden Sort invites placing circles, squares, triangles, and stars into the right garden bed. Star Count Quest turns counting into a tap-along adventure with twinkling stars. Each round earns garden stars for the Trophy Grove. Badges like Bloom Keeper, Shape Gardener, and Star Watcher unlock as skills grow. In Settings, Memory Garden lets families capture or choose a photo for a personal album. Bright onboarding introduces the garden, quests, and trophies step by step. Multiple languages are available in Settings. Sprout Quest offers gentle, play-first practice for parents and caregivers. Open the gate, pick a quest, and watch confidence bloom.
