Idle Mole Empire

Idle Mole Empire is a clicker simulator in which you head a mining company run by moles wearing funny hats. All work is divided into three areas: moles extract minerals in tunnels, the elevator lifts them to the surface, and the cargo department transports the extracted minerals for sale. At first, all of this must be managed manually, but as improvements are made, the processes become automated. A total of nine tunnels can be unlocked: a mole farm, a grocery store, a casino and bar, a sleeping hut, a gym, an administrative room, a dining room, a science lab, and a large hall. The game accrues income even when you are offline—the larger the operation, the more you accumulate during your absence.

How to play

At the very beginning, you don't have a single tunnel. The first one will cost you ten dollars, and each subsequent one will be more expensive. Each tunnel is serviced by one mole miner. Click on the tunnel to give it the order to complete a work cycle, then click again to continue. To avoid having to do this manually all the time, hire a manager — they will switch the tunnel to automatic mode. Managers can be praised to speed up their work by thirty seconds, and improvements increase the overall productivity of their section. Sometimes you will encounter impassable soil along the way; its development is paid for separately from the construction of the tunnel. The elevator and cargo department are available from the very beginning. The mole-lifter collects minerals from the tunnels from top to bottom, skipping empty floors, and lifts the cargo to the surface. There, another mole picks up the box of minerals and takes it to the hill to sell. If the moles don't have time to transport all the minerals, upgrade the elevator and cargo department. When managers are assigned to the elevator, cargo department, and at least one tunnel, passive income is activated for every second you are not in the game.
