AstronTycoon

AstronTycoon puts you in the role of an astronomer building telescopes and exploring the universe. Study stars and planets, search for habitable worlds and anomalies, and fund your research through grants, publications and sales of your findings. Your career spans 30 years, or 720 rounds; if you avoid bankruptcy, your final score is calculated in 2037, and you can continue playing afterward.

Build your career

You begin as an unknown scientist. The game introduces aspects of your work as you build your first telescope, explore nearby stars and discover binary star systems, then learn how to fund your research. As your reputation grows, scientific institutions pay more for your research and new technologies become available. You can calculate the locations of planets and view them within star systems as new stars appear on your maps.

Design telescopes

Build telescopes in several locations around the world by combining dozens of components. You can construct larger, more complex and more accurate instruments, and new technologies let you build space telescopes.

Research and funding

Your work involves studying stars and planets, choosing promising stars for research, and pursuing the best research results. You can publish your findings, sell results for profit, acquire technologies and seek grants from scientific institutions. You can also answer media calls by telephone, while searching for habitable planets and space anomalies.
