Kardashev

Humanity uses 20 terawatts. Lift it all the way to Type I, and beyond.

An incremental management game for iPhone and Android, inspired by the scale imagined in 1964 by astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev. Start from the real Earth of 2026, build wind farms, dams, reactors and tokamaks, phase out fossil fuels before the climate runs away, then seed other worlds: Mars, an ocean planet, a tidally locked world.

Every energy source comes with a real fact. The globe is drawn from NASA imagery.
