Granulés & Cie : jeu idle

Manufactures pellets, delivers to refrigerated customers, conquers the entire canton.

Grandma Josette's knees are freezing, Kevin lives on the 5th floor with no elevator, and the entire canton of Saint-Granule is waiting for its pellets. In Pellets & Co., you manufacture wood pellets, deliver them to freezing customers, and grow a small sawmill into a mega-factory. It's an idle game: the factory keeps running even when you close the game.

In the morning, on the bus, you open the game. During the night, Gégé ran the shop and delivered to hundreds of customers. You collect the money, buy two vans, and close up.

Winter falls on the canton, and everyone is cold at the same time. The police make an emergency call, the Countess of the castle pays without looking at the bill, and Cousin Bernard is still haggling. It's the season when it pays off.

One day, a gentleman in a Swedish suit knocks on the factory door: his pension fund wants to buy everything. You sell, you start from scratch, but you keep your golden logs, and each one increases your income forever.

You hit the press to start production, then you hire: lumberjacks, presses, production lines, all the way up to the mega-factory. Your fleet grows from wheelbarrows to semi-trailers. On the map of the canton, you unlock the zones one by one: the Hamlets, the industrial park, the lakeside campsite, Granulac Castle, the ski resort, Grandville-sur-Copeaux, and one last one that I'll let you discover.

One hundred and eighty-two clients each have their own replica. There are VIPs who pay well, cheapskates who never leave a tip, group orders for an entire building, and loyal regulars. The seasons change the demand, the objectives guide you, twenty-six successes await you, and the talents bought with your golden logs follow you from one resale to the next.

A quick side note: one of the improvements is called "Granuléo App." Granuléo is the app I made to track the pellet stock of a real wood-burning stove. If you have one at home, the game shows it to you in its settings, without being pushy.

The game is completely free, and there's nothing to buy. No ads are intrusive: no banners, no ads interrupting gameplay. The ads are bonuses you choose to watch: double income for 30 minutes, double your absentee earnings, an express delivery, a second chance on a missed urgent order, a boost when you're just a little short on cash for a purchase. You can play without ever watching one.

No account creation is required. Your game is saved on your phone. The game runs offline, and the network is only used for ads. These are provided by Google AdMob: in Europe, the game asks for your consent on first launch, and you can change it later in the settings.

I'm an independent developer, and this game was born alongside Granuléo, just for fun. It's in French.
