Kardashev Ascension

Begin as a fledgling civilization harnessing wind and solar energy. End as a multiversal god rewriting the laws of physics. Kardashev Ascension is an epic idle game based on the real Kardashev Scale — the scientific framework for measuring a civilization's technological advancement by its energy consumption.

ASCEND THROUGH 5 ERAS

Era I — Planetary

Era IV — Universal
Extract zero-point energy from the quantum vacuum. Open Dimensional Rifts between parallel universes. Build Reality Engines and reverse entropy itself.
