Terms

Terms of service

Last updated 5 November 2026

These terms are the rules for using Atmoforge: the game at atmoforge.app, this website and the accounts and gem purchases that go with them. By playing or creating an account you agree to them. We've tried to keep them short and in plain English. Our privacy policy explains what we store about you.

The game

Atmoforge is free to play. You can play as a guest, with your progress saved in your browser, or create an account so your colony is saved on our server and follows you between devices. We keep improving the game, so buildings, balance, prices and features may change over time.

Your account

• Keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
• Pick a username that's friendly for players of all ages. We may rename or remove usernames that are offensive, impersonate someone or contain personal information.
• Children may play. If you're under the age where your country lets you agree to terms like these, a parent or guardian needs to agree for you, and should help with any purchase.
• You can ask us to delete your account at any time (see the privacy policy).

Gems and the Founder Pass

Gems are an in-game currency. You can earn them by playing, by watching optional videos, or buy them. The Founder Pass is a one-time purchase that also removes ads from optional rewards.

• Gems and the Founder Pass are a licence to use features inside the game. They have no cash value, can't be exchanged for money or transferred to another account, and can only be used in Atmoforge.
• Purchased gems and the Founder Pass belong to your account and are restored on every device you sign in on, including after starting a new game.
• We may change what gems can buy as the game develops, but we won't take away gems you have already bought, except as described under refunds.

Buying

Prices are shown in US dollars in the shop before you pay. Payment is taken by Stripe on its secure payment page; your bank may add currency conversion fees, and sales tax or VAT is added where it applies. Your purchase is delivered to your account as soon as Stripe confirms the payment, usually within a few seconds. If a payment goes through but the gems don't arrive, message us and we'll sort it out.

Refunds

If you bought something by mistake, or a child bought something without permission, message us within 14 days of the purchase with your username and we'll refund it. Refunded gems, or a refunded Founder Pass, are removed from the account. After 14 days we may still refund at our discretion, for example if a purchase never arrived. Nothing in these terms takes away any rights you have under consumer law where you live.

Please contact us before disputing a payment with your bank, since that's the quickest way to get your money back. Accounts with fraudulent payments or chargebacks may lose the purchased items or be closed.

Ads

Some optional rewards can be earned by watching a short video ad, only when you choose to. Ads come from Google's ad network or, on game portals, from that portal. We can't guarantee a video is always available, and a reward is only given when the video is finished.

Playing fair

Atmoforge is a single-player game, so how you play your own colony is up to you. But please don't:

• attack, overload or try to break into our servers or other players' accounts;
• tamper with purchases, cloud saves or the ad system to get paid items for free;
• use the message form to send spam, abuse or anything illegal.

If someone does, we may suspend or delete their account.

Ideas and feedback

We love hearing your ideas. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve the game without owing you anything for them.

Our content

The game, its art, name and logo belong to Atmoforge. You're welcome to stream, record and share videos and screenshots of the game. The press kit has logos and images you can use when writing about it.

Availability and liability

We work hard to keep Atmoforge running and your saves safe, but the game is provided "as is", without guarantees that it will always be available or free of bugs. If we ever have to shut the game down, we'll give at least 30 days' notice on this site and stop selling gems first. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem.

Changes

If we change these terms, we'll update this page and the date at the top. For important changes we'll also let players know in the game. If you keep playing after a change, you accept the new terms.
