Make Money: Tycoon Empire

You start with one shift at work and ten thousand coins in your pocket. You finish with an empire: a taxi fleet, hotels around the world, an airline, a film studio, a soccer club and a spaceport.

YOUR FIRST COINS Three mini-games — mental math, number hunt and a tapper. That is your seed money. After that, the money has to work on its own.

TAXI AND CAR SHARING Cars in thirteen classes, from a Fiat to a Lamborghini. Register the car, hire a driver, pick how it earns: a taxi carries passengers, a car sharing vehicle is rented out.

HOTELS AND TOURISTS Rooms in twenty-four countries, from standard to presidential. Work out the country from the destination and match tourists to the right hotel — a wrong guess costs you rating.

AIRLINE Your own fleet, agreements with countries, flights every day. A half-empty or overbooked plane earns you a fine, so count the passengers.

CINEMA Invite a star, shoot a film, put it on a screen. The star's fee becomes the budget, and every screen pays you daily.

SOCCER AND SPACE Build a line-up, train your players, win matches. Then build a ship, hire a crew and unlock all seven planets of the Solar System.

MONEY AND LAW A bank with deposits and twelve-month loans. Taxes every quarter, reports every month. Miss a deadline and the rate climbs, fines pile up and some sections lock. Hire an accountant so you never watch the calendar, and a dispatcher so the orders handle themselves.

LEADERBOARD Points come from everything you own and from every flight to a planet. Submit your score and see where you stand.

A game day lasts five minutes. The game saves itself, on the device and to iCloud, so your progress survives a reinstall or a new phone.

What’s new

Version 5.2 is a small update.

• Hotel rooms can now be repaired by hand: tap the wrench on the room card and restore 25, 50 or 100% of its condition for a share of the room's price. A worn-out room used to sit idle until the quarterly restoration. • Nicknames on the leaderboard are unique now. If the one you want is taken, the game says so while you are choosing it, not after your score fails to arrive. • Your own row on the leaderboard is matched by device, not by nickname: two players with the same name no longer highlight each other's result. • When a score cannot be submitted, the game now tells you why instead of staying silent. • Once your airline is open, the Planes section asks you to register it with a company instead of repeating "open an airline first". • The English translation has been proofread from end to end: consistent wording throughout, and a few plain mistakes fixed - a tourist's destination was labelled Direction, for one.
