Idle Mole Empire

Idle Mole Empire is a clicker idle game where you run a mole-mining company with moles wearing hats. Work splits into three parts: moles dig up minerals in tunnels, the elevator lifts them to the surface, and the cargo team hauls the minerals away to sell. At first, you handle everything yourself, but upgrades turn each step into an automated process. You can unlock nine tunnels: a mole farm, a grocery store, a casino and bar, a sleeping hut, a gym, an admin office, a dining room, a science lab, and a large hall. The game keeps earning money while you are offline; the bigger your operation, the more cash piles up while you are away.

How to play?

At the start, you have no tunnels. The first one costs ten dollars, and each new tunnel is pricier than the last. Each tunnel has one mole miner. Click the mole to start a work cycle, then click again to run the next one. To stop doing this by hand, hire a manager to put that tunnel on automatic. You can praise managers to speed up their work for thirty seconds, and upgrades boost the overall output of their area. Sometimes you hit solid ground that blocks progress; you have to pay separately to clear it before you can keep building the tunnel. The elevator and cargo sections are available from the beginning. The elevator mole collects minerals from tunnels from top to bottom, skips empty levels, and carries the load to the surface. There, another mole grabs the box and takes it up the hill to sell it. If the moles cannot move all mined minerals in time, upgrade the elevator and cargo section. When you assign managers to the elevator, the cargo section, or at least one tunnel, passive income turns on, and you earn money for every second you are away from the game.
