About this game

CapitalCycle is a minimalist economic puzzle game where you build supply chains from raw materials to finished goods and survive a shifting economy for as long as you can.

Core loop
• Acquire industries: buy raw-material producers (agriculture, mining, oil), then expand to secondary processing (flour, steel, fuel) and finished goods (bakery, auto).
• Lay pipes: connect each tier upward. Pipe install and maintenance costs scale with length and terrain — water, mountain, and forest tiles cost more.
• Deliver to hubs: ship finished goods to markets, ports, and airports for monthly income. Each hub and industry has its own price swing.

Strategy
• Contracts: every contract round you pick one of three options, with one reroll. Each card shows whether your current production can actually meet it — OK, Risky, or Out of capacity. Missing a deadline cuts your next contract's income.
• Research: pick a category, invest each month, and on level-up choose one of two permanent perks that stacks for the rest of the run.
• News: short-term events (3–6 months) auto-expire. A handful of permanent shifts build long-term pressure.
• Difficulty bias: Easy / Normal / Hard tilt the deadline window and demand-spike polarity.

Minimalist UI/UX
• The map is the focus; numbers stay out of the way until you need them.
• All modals share the same design tokens — radii, spacing, 44pt touch targets.
• News flows as a non-blocking banner instead of stopping the game.
• Localized in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

CapitalCycle is meant for short sessions with deep decisions — where to invest, which contract to take, which news to weather. Beat your own survival record across multiple country maps.

Tips
• Early on, prefer routes with low terrain penalty.
• Research investment is taken out as monthly maintenance — watch the Runway indicator under the slider before pushing the limit.
• You can't skip contracts, but you have one reroll and per-card feasibility. Use them.
• The Stats screen's Effects tab shows your current modifier stack (news, research, map, spikes).

The Tutorial and South Korea maps are free to play. Additional maps (United States, Japan) are available as optional one-time in-app purchases. No ads. No subscriptions.
