Description:
A peaceful narrative experience, in which the only objective is to satisfy your curiosity.
Explore an ocean dream world, in which time passes even when you are not there, visit forgotten islands and piece together memories – some even existing beyond the screen of your device.
“The Sailor’s Dream is a novella, a folk EP, and an art installation wrapped into one app ... It’s an inspired example of what storytelling can be in the 21st century and the way modern technology can shine new light on well-worn conventions.” - A.V. Club
“Its lonely, bittersweet tale—told in a wonderfully unique mix of approaches—is the best storytelling I've ever played on my iPad.” - Kotaku
“It's an experience that's entirely about the narrative, but one uniquely built for smartphones and tablets. The peaceful visuals, the wonderful music, the sharp writing, and the simple interactive toys all go towards creating an atmosphere and telling a story.” - The Verge
“... you can easily wander for hours through The Sailor’s Dream making music, playing it not like a game, but as an instrument ... If you are looking for a space to contemplate, a place to linger, a path to walk in patient consideration, you will find yourself at home in The Sailor’s Dream for quite some time.” - Kill Screen
“A world-in-miniature put in the palm of your hands, which rewards you for your exploration of it with sensory delight. And perhaps most powerfully of all, pushes you to feel deeply for its inhabitants.” - Gamezebo

Description:
The smash-hit idle clicker where you mine virtual bitcoins to amass a simulated fortune!
Bitcoin Billionaire is an idle mining game that's all about earning virtual bitcoins through fast tapping, smart investments, and cool upgrades. Go from rags to riches as you upgrade and unlock new items and time travel to the distant past and the far future, all without leaving your comfy chair!
In Bitcoin Billionaire you start with almost nothing: a run-down office, a rickety old desk, and a terrible computer. By tapping the screen you can mine virtual bitcoins to slowly increase your wealth. Spend your earnings on fancy things like entertainment centers and priceless works of art, or upgrade your mining equipment to earn more with each tap. If you're smart, you'll use some of those bitcoins to invest in new technologies that help you earn even when you're not playing!
Just when you think you've seen it all, Bitcoin Billionaire sends you hurtling through time and space. Travel to new eras where you'll earn all new upgrades, unlock extra achievements, and experience the thrills of bitcoin mining from a whole new perspective. If you thought tapping was fun in a modern-day office chair, just wait 'til you park your posterior in a finely crafted stone seat from prehistoric times!
Features:
-Upgrade investments to earn bitcoins while offline.
-Grab bonuses from hovering delivery drones.
-Customize your character to mine in style.
-Free holiday updates and extras.
-Adopt a kitty! Or a robot! Or a T-Rex! Or something else!
Bitcoin Billionaire is an idle mining game that's fun for everyone. Seriously, everyone can play it, you don't have to know anything about bitcoins or mining. If you can tap, you can earn, and if you can earn, you can upgrade all of the things. Now quick, sit down and start tapping!
Note: This game is for entertainment purposes only. You do not mine real bitcoins. You will, however, feel like a billionaire when you finally unlock those expensive upgrades.
Release Notes:
Put down the egg nog, it's time for new holiday items!
