Lobster Empire

Lobster Empire is a business-building game about growing a lobster operation through better fishing techniques and sustainable lobster resources. You catch lobsters, develop breeding and hatching, expand into new businesses, and research inventions to increase production. Its progression is divided into five eras, with the fifth kept secret.

Build your lobster business

In Era I, you send ships to catch lobsters. Common catches provide currency, while rarer lobsters can yield research points to help start your empire. Recruit lobstermen with individual stats for durability, stamina, law obedience, mechanical competence, sea-instinct and navigation skill. Each ship in your fleet has its own ability.

Era II introduces breeding and hatching: raise lobsters in a hatchery and breed your best strain. In Era III, expand into a restaurant serving your well-bred lobsters and a merchandise shop selling shirts and toys, as your business grows toward worldwide reach. Era IV lets you build the Lobster Academy and develop inventions to boost production.

Explore and improve

Purchase commercial licenses to explore new islands and waters in search of rarer lobster breeds. Storms and obstacles can threaten your voyages. Blue, yellow, calico, split-colored, albino and giant lobsters can increase your research points.

Fishing equipment includes the smart lobster trap, weather radar and secret map. You can upgrade ship equipment to improve catches and efficiency, and research tools to reduce lobster mortality and improve the hatchery system so it can sustain your lobster population.

Expand your ventures

Alongside fishing and breeding, you can grow your business through a seafood restaurant, merchandise shop, lobster sea world and other venues. Host events such as ship races and cooking contests to increase your business's popularity.
