DROPSHIP EMPIRE

Turn one box of junk into an international empire

Dropship Empire is an incremental game about selling absolute garbage to strangers on the internet, and getting unreasonably rich doing it.

Click the monitor to fulfil an order. Buy a product line and it fulfils orders for you, forever. Every single item you own piles up in your room, bobbing about and shouting the money it just made, until the floor disappears under two thousand posture correctors.

You start on a folding table in your mother's basement with a laptop at 4% battery. Ten addresses later you are running an orbital fulfilment station.

Click. Upgrade. Move house.

• 50 product lines, each dumber than the last — LED Vibe Ropes, detox foot pads, a levitating moon lamp that levitates for four days, Mars land deeds
• 300 upgrades — battlestation gear, ad campaigns, staff hires, and five tiers per product line
• 93 achievements, each with a permanent reward you claim by hand
• 10 addresses — basement, studio, loft, house, coworking, tower, warehouse, factory, private island, orbit. Each one repaints the entire game
• Write your own ad copy and have a model running on your own machine score it, live, as you type
• A casino that takes your inventory instead of your money
• Regulatory heat, viral moments, chargeback storms and the occasional class action
• Prestige perks that survive every reset and reshape the next run
• Runs offline, keeps earning while closed, never asks for an account

Every good idea has a catch

Wild claims sell. They also raise regulatory heat, which quietly eats up to half your income until you hire a lawyer, buy an offshore structure, or simply move house and start again somewhere else.

Feeling brave? Stake your actual stock on the Big Six wheel or three hands of blackjack. Win and you keep the goods and pocket their cash value, multiplied. Lose and the shelves empty — along with the income they were making you.

Sell the company. Do it all again.

When you have had enough, sell up. You keep Exit Equity — permanent income, forever — and a perk tree that reshapes the next run. Start in the basement again and get back to orbit in half the time.

Roughly 30 to 50 hours to reach the top the first time. Considerably longer to stop.
