One laptop. That's how every AI empire starts. Tap to train your first model, cash in your credits, and buy a second machine. Then a Gaming PC. Then a GPU Server. Before long you're not tapping at all — you're running a Global AI Data Center that prints compute while you sleep. BUILD THE FULL STACK Unlock 13 tiers of hardware, each one dwarfing the last: Laptop - Gaming PC - AI Workstation - GPU Server - Server Rack - Mini Data Center - AI Compute Cluster - AI Supercomputer - Quantum AI Server - Global AI Data Center - AI Factory - AGI Research Lab - AI Civilization Network TAP FIRST, AUTOMATE LATER Every run starts hands-on and ends fully automated. Buy your way out of tapping, then watch the numbers climb on their own. PRESTIGE FOR PERMANENT POWER Hit the wall? Reset your empire and convert everything you built into Citation Points — permanent multipliers that carry into every future run. Each restart is faster, richer, and reaches further than the last. TEN RESEARCH UPGRADES Spend Citation Points in the research tree and reshape how you play. Neural Efficiency, Overclock Reserves, Autonomous Training, Streak Insurance, Lucky Circuits and more — each with multiple levels and a real impact on your build. STACK YOUR MULTIPLIERS Income boosters from x2 all the way to x8. Instant Power surges that bank hours of income in one tap. Layer them and watch your credits per second go vertical. EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your data centers don't clock out. Come back to a pile of offline credits waiting to be collected — and claim an offline bonus on top. SPIN, CLAIM, REPEAT - Lucky Spin wheel with common, mega and legendary tiers - A 28-day daily reward calendar that keeps getting better - Around 90 achievements to chase across every system in the game - Level up as you play and unlock rewards along the way CLEAN, HONEST PROGRESSION No paywalls blocking the good part.

Most traffic games ask you to fix the jam. Gridlock asks you to cause it. Gridlock is an idle traffic tycoon: tap to honk, hire the worst drivers in the city, and watch the street fill up until it's bumper to bumper and every brake light is glowing. Your jam keeps growing even while you're away. HIRE THE GRIDLOCK • Confused Tourists checking the GPS mid-lane • Double-Parked Delivery Trucks with the hazards on ("just two minutes") • Fender Benders: nobody's hurt, everybody's filming • Pothole Repair Crews: one guy working, four watching • Rubbernecker Convoys, School Buses and full Parades • The Presidential Motorcade, which shuts down the whole city Everything you hire shows up on the street. The more you own, the tighter the jam. GET ADDICTED TO THE JAM • Milestones double a crew's output at 10, 25, 50, 100 and beyond • Road Rage: tap fast enough and every honk is worth 5× • The Lucky Cab: catch the gold taxi for a jackpot or a traffic frenzy • Dozens of upgrades, from Louder Horn to Global Gridlock • Keeps jamming while you're away END RUSH HOUR When your jam peaks, end Rush Hour. The streets clear, but you earn Notoriety. Spend it on permanent perks: start with a fleet already on the road, triple your horn, summon more Lucky Cabs, keep jamming through the night. NEW GOALS EVERY DAY Three fresh daily challenges, a daily toll streak, and Game Center leaderboards to prove you're the most notorious driver in town. DRIVE IN STYLE Earn a Tow Truck, an Ice Cream Truck and a Stretch Limo by playing, or pick up a Motorcycle, School Bus, Monster Truck or Ambulance. Each one has its own horn and tap animation. No account needed. Progress syncs with iCloud.
