Incremental games, also known as idle games or clicker games, are a genre of video games where players make gradual progress by performing simple actions repeatedly. Players often start with minimal resources and can earn in-game currency or points by clicking or performing tasks. As they accumulate resources, they can purchase upgrades that automate actions or increase efficiency, allowing for faster progress. These games typically feature a loop of earning, spending, and upgrading, which keeps players engaged over time. Popular examples of incremental games include Cookie Clicker and AdVenture Capitalist, where players can enjoy the satisfaction of watching their progress grow with minimal active involvement.
