A realm in chaos, and three minutes is all it takes. samguk.io is a 3-to-5-minute .io battlefield: raise your banner with a single general, absorb soldiers, storm castles, and unite the land. ā–¶ One finger, three minutes, one war Drive your horde with the joystick and wanderers and routed soldiers rally to your banner. Collide with an enemy army and the fight is on. No button combos, no long tutorials. ā–¶ Break them and they join you Defeated soldiers do not vanish. The enemy banner snaps, the soldiers kneel, and they turn your color. Thirty men become a screen-filling horde. ā–¶ Duels: settled by might When two generals meet, time slows for a one-on-one bout. Blows are traded, a winner is decided, and the loser's army wavers. Lü Bu's halberd, Guan Yu's Green Dragon blade: the gap in might is settled by a single duel. ā–¶ The gate opens: the climax always comes After three minutes the castle gate opens. The gatekeeper's final host pours out, and every run ends in battle. There is no losing by timeout. ā–¶ 58 regions, one realm Rise in Zhuo and defeat the gatekeeper holding each region. Every region you take is painted in your color on the world map. Paint all 58 and the realm is yours. Defeated gatekeepers join the field from the next run on. ā–¶ Form up before you march, grow on the field Read the triangle of infantry, archers and cavalry and set your formation. Terrain, morale, provisions, and the warhorses and war manuals you pick up make every session different. ā–¶ Your nemesis always returns Lose, and the general who beat you is marked as your nemesis and appears next run. Take revenge for double the reward. Retry straight from the results screen, zero wait. We sell only cosmetics and time. Combat power is never for sale. * In-game text is in Korean. * A work of fiction inspired by Romance of the Three Kingdoms; it may differ from history.

Baseball Scout Notes

Read full description

Were you right about him? The next three games will tell. Baseball Scout Notes is a pixel-art baseball management sim where you run a scouting agency, not a team. Take requests from clubs, watch league games, size up players and recommend them in a scout report. Then the league grades your call by how he actually plays for his new team. ā–  Request → Scout → Report Clubs set the brief: position (pitcher, catcher, infielder or outfielder), age, a key attribute such as "Power 65+", and a target game rating. Each round, send your scouts to watch league games. Contact, power, speed, fielding and pitching are revealed as far as each scout's accuracy allows; anything still unknown shows as ??. File your report with a predicted game rating and a grade from C to S. ā–  Three games to prove it Once the club signs your player, your report is graded on his average rating over his next 3 games for his new team. Hits raise your reputation, and hit streaks build it faster. Misses cost you, and the higher the grade you gave, the more it hurts. When your pick performs, a bonus lands on top. ā–  A living baseball world Three fictional leagues (regional, continental and global) play nine-inning games every round, with live standings by wins and a champion crowned each season. Replay every scoring play, extra-inning walk-offs included, on the game screen. Offseason and in-season trade windows bring a rush of requests. Three rival scouting agencies bid for the same jobs, and the better your reputation, the better your odds. In season 4, a data giant raises its license fees. ā–  Grow your agency Hire and train scouts. Expand your office through levels 1 to 4 for more desks, more requests and sharper accuracy. Buy public data licenses or research your own metrics: public data leads everyone to the same conclusions, so your proprietary metrics are your edge. Sign young prospects to agency contracts and earn commission every round and on every transfer. ā–  Your pixel office Your scouts sit at their desks while the wall TV shows the latest game, and the office changes as your company grows. If you like baseball games and tycoon games, this is a management sim built around one skill: judging talent. ā–  Before you start Ā· 5-season campaign, 3 save slots Ā· Playable without an internet connection Ā· No in-app purchases Ā· No account or login — your saves stay on your device Ā· Korean and English Ā· All leagues, clubs and players are fictional Privacy policy: https://baseballscoutnotes.sanglimsoft.com/privacy/ Support: https://baseballscoutnotes.sanglimsoft.com/support/
