ABOUT THIS GAME

You used to be a successful crypto investor: a luxury villa, a private jet, million-dollar deals, and life in the fast lane. But the market crashed in the blink of an eye. The money vanished, but the debts to some serious people remained. They took everything. Now you're back in your hometown with a $1,000,000 debt, and your new office is a small couch in your grandmother's room.

Your only chance to get your old life and freedom back is to master programming. Every click is a line of code. Every completed project is a step out of the debt pit. Start with penny freelance gigs, invest in learning, buy powerful hardware, hire a team, and turn your coding hobby into a fully automated, billion-dollar business! Your goal sounds simple but poses a serious challenge: pay off the story debt, rise from the absolute bottom, launch your own startups, and earn enough to buy your own private tropical island.

Key Features:

From Crypto Bro to Junior: Live a unique story of downfall and triumphant return. Start by writing simple landing pages for pennies on an ancient monitor and grow until your company goes public.

Idle Progress & Clicker Mechanics: Click manually to hit deadlines faster early on, or invest in automation. Let the money work for you while you rest!

Scalable Tycoon Business: Hire a team of Juniors, Mid-levels, and Seniors. Build entire departments to automate the routine and focus on major contracts and your own startups.

Three Difficulty Levels: Choose your playstyle—from the relaxed "Junior" mode (for chill clicking pleasure) to the uncompromising, hardcore "Senior" challenge, where resources are tight and mistakes are costly.

Skill & Hardware Progression: Learn real-world tech (HTML/CSS, JavaScript, SQL, React, Node.js, DevOps). Buy top-tier GPUs, ergonomic chairs, upgrade your housing, and buy better vehicles.

Mastery in Mini-Games: Handling major projects requires not just patience, but focus. Every order is a unique challenge where you can get a +20% payment bonus by successfully beating one of our specialized mini-games.

Survival & Balance Elements: Work isn't everything. Monitor your hunger, health, and energy levels. Swap instant noodles for quality food, and move from grandma's room to a penthouse, as your comfort directly impacts your productivity.
