Description
Most tycoon games hand you an empire and let it idle. BenelOil makes you work first: you pick the nozzle, enter the amount, clean the windshield, and watch customers leave when you're slow. Only then do you hire staff and automate. It opens in about 8 seconds - no download, no account, first customer guaranteed. Built solo over a year, in 7 languages. Every design change came from measuring real sessions, not guessing.
