About this app
Grow a garage project into a software empire without drowning in tech debt
Read full description
It all starts with you, a laptop and a coffee. Hire devs, spin up build servers, put together QA teams and take your project from a garage to a campus with your company's name in neon on the wall. But every shortcut has a price: tech debt piles up, the team loses efficiency and bugs start crawling around the office. Dev Empire Idle is an idle management game with no endless tapping. The code writes itself, even while the game is closed. Your job is to decide: who to hire, when to rush, when to stop and refactor, and how to react when something breaks in production. GROW WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL • Six teams, from Junior Dev to Cloud Cluster, with milestones that double their output • Rush to produce more, or polish to create less debt • Refactor at the right moment to win back your team's efficiency • Incidents at the worst time: a bug in production, a broken build, a meeting that could have been an email. Fix it now or pay later • Catch the golden bug when it shows up in the office SHIP VERSIONS AND LIVE THROUGH THE ERAS • From MVP to Interplanetary: every version has its own name, Features and goals • Publish to start over stronger and earn Reputation • Reputation buys permanent upgrades that last forever • The AI, Cloud, Remote and Security Eras change the rules of the game • Version Challenges and a tech Stack (monolith or serverless?) for those who want to go further A LEADER FOR EVERY TEAM • 13 common, rare, epic and legendary leaders • Each one changes how a team works: more output, less debt, cheaper hires • Build your collection and pick who leads each team every version EVENTS WITH MINI-GAMES • On-call: put out the fires before the servers go down • Job Fair: grab the good résumés and let the bad ones drop • 20 stages per Event, with chapters, bosses and stars • Earn keys as you play and write Playbooks that make incidents weaker ALWAYS A GOAL IN SIGHT • Three daily goals, with double-production overtime • Side gigs: take outside jobs, like the corner bakery's app • 29 achievements and leaderboards on Google Play Games • A daily gift in the Shop AN OFFICE THAT GROWS WITH YOU • From the garage to a coworking space, from the lobby to the campus • Your team shows up working at every station • When debt runs high, the mood darkens and the lights start to flicker • Name your company and see its neon sign on the wall MADE FOR SHORT SESSIONS • Portrait mode, playable with one hand • Offline progress: come back and see how much your company produced • Works without internet, with cloud save through Google Play Games • No sign-up. Ads only when you want a bonus • Optional Founder Pack: ad-free bonuses and a golden neon sign • In English, Portuguese and Spanish • Lo-fi music, sound effects and vibration with separate settings, plus a reduce-motion option Enjoying it or found a bug?
