Stud Tycoon puts you in charge of a single conveyor belt and challenges you to grow it into a full stud-making empire. Every tap earns coins, and every coin can be spent on upgrades that make your factory work faster, even while you're not clicking.
Starting small is part of the fun. You begin with a basic Dropper and slowly unlock bigger machines like the Conveyor, Upgrader, Smelter, and eventually the Stud Rocket, each one boosting your income in a new way.
You can play Stud Tycoon online for free, with no download required, on phone, tablet or computer. It's an easy game to pick up for a few minutes or let run in the background as your empire grows.
