Strategy & Simulation Games — Questions

Does BitLife save my life between sessions?

Yes, in your browser's local storage — the same device and browser will pick the life back up. Tycoon and city-builder games in this category save the same way.

What is the easiest tower defense game to start with?

Bloons Tower Defense is the classic on-ramp: clear rules, a slow early game, and plenty of room to experiment with tower placement before the later rounds punish mistakes.

Do strategy games work on a school Chromebook?

They do. Strategy and simulation games are the least demanding games on the site — mouse-driven, turn-based or slow-paced — and they load in the browser with nothing to install.
