Tiny Kingdom
A village on a floating island that grows while you are away.

The build
Most idle builders sell impatience. Tiny Kingdom sells the opposite: the simulation runs a full offline catch-up when you open the app, replaying up to 36 hours of production in a short animated summary, and there is no button anywhere that shortens a build.
The economy is a directed graph of eleven resources balanced in a spreadsheet before a single building was modelled. Players hit a soft wall around day nine, which is exactly where the second island unlocks — a pacing beat we moved three times during soft launch based on retention curves.
Monetisation is cosmetic: seasonal building skins and a one-time supporter pack that adds an extra island slot.
