Idle / Incremental

Idle and incremental games turn repeated production into long-term progression, often allowing resources to accumulate automatically while the player is away. Generators, upgrade tiers, exponential growth, offline earnings and prestige resets create a cycle of acceleration in which timing and optimisation matter more than direct action.

Some designs rely on constant clicking, while others emphasise automation, milestone planning or brief active bursts around major upgrades. This page covers economy curves, reset value, premium systems, background simulation, accessibility and how a simple numerical loop remains readable and rewarding over extended play.
