Click a block, buy a jackhammer, never stop digging. Idle Deepcore is a pixel-art incremental game where a row of drills chews through rock, furnaces turn ore into profit, and the whole operation keeps running while you do something else. Reach the planet's core, then head for space.

Timberworks starts you small: one sawmill, some wood, a little money. From there it grows into an incremental factory game about automating everything, hiring lumberjacks and miners, laying railway lines across different regions, and spending profits on a big skill tree of permanent upgrades. Calm, pixel-art and low-pressure, it is a tidy empire to build at your own pace.

A minimalist clicker that grows into a strange little factory. Start with one machine making cubes, combine them into ever weirder devices, and work toward full automation while an unknown entity sends you messages.
