Ubisoft acquires Idle Miner Tycoon developer Kolibri Games

Ubisoft knows that its fans love a good game where the numbers keep getting bigger. That’s why it has added role-playing-like levels to recent Assassin’s Creed and Tom Clancy games. But what about a game where the entire point is the numbers going up? Well, to get into that business, Ubisoft is acquiring mobile developer Kolibri Games. The two companies did not disclose the details of the agreement.

Kolibri is one of the most successful studios in the idle or clicker space with Idle Miner Tycoon and Idle Factory Tycoon. In these games, the gameplay is just about clicking on a button to earn more resources. But players can also unlock upgrades to automatically earn resources over time that they can then spend to buy tools to earn resources even faster.
