From garage to global.
A comedy strategy game. You, two friends, a laptop and a borrowed garage: grow a startup into a global tower. Hire star executives, pitch investors for funding rounds, win customers on a shared world map and outplay rival founders.

More recipes in the oven
A peek at what we're cooking next: early ideas with working titles, not announced and not in production.
ConceptRun the park's crumb racket. Every bench has a price.
ConceptFive days at the office, two to keep a farm alive.
ConceptSix strangers, one bathroom, a shared fridge.
ConceptRun a hotel for ghosts. The guests are dead; the reviews are brutal.
ConceptTap to bake one pizza. Leave it running and feed the galaxy.
Start with one bench and a bread roll. Take the fountain, the bandstand and the bakery bins, and keep the rival flocks out of your park.
Monday to Friday you answer emails. On Saturday and Sunday you plant, water and harvest, and hope the crops survive the week without you.
Pick the six people who share one house, then keep the peace: chore rotas, labels on the fridge, a queue for the bathroom and the odd party.
Build rooms for guests who walk through walls, keep the cold spots cold, and win over critics who died a century ago.
House special
In development · no release date yet
Start with one oven and one finger. Hire pigeons, light more ovens, launch rockets, and keep going until the whole galaxy is fed.
