🚜 Bulldozer Master: ~$70K a Day & Looks like a weekend prototype
Show notes
Two Gamers again, and this time we review Bulldozer Master from Supercent, the Korean studio behind Pizza Ready. It looks like something vibe-coded over two weekends, and it works anyway. Jakub plays the loop: dig ore blocks, carry them Golden Goblins-style to the refinery, sell, and upgrade move speed, hammers and furnace. Then you rent heavy machinery that runs on fuel (hydraulic breakers, drill crushers, exo-carriers), hire workers who need pizza breaks, and prestige into company upgrades. It’s simple, idle-friendly, and built directly from its own ads.
The creatives are the real story: 2,700 of them, Trackstar-style truck ads, AI videos of drilling gold walls, a Chrome Valley Customs look, a Bumblebee from Wish, and even a Kingshot salad, spread across AppLovin, Mintegral, Unity and Facebook. Matej also shares how Mintegral became one of One Mage Army’s best channels within a week. The formula: take a 4X creative, build the gameplay around it, then scale and profit.
