Hey everyone! We’re making “You must evolve it! Incremental” is a sci-fi incremental idle game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

You wake up as a robot with no memories and most of your functions gone. Your core protocols are still intact, though, and they give you one primary objective: evolve a mysterious creature.

To achieve this, you’ll be:
- Building structures
- Creating units
- Gathering resources

As you progress, you’ll uncover fragments of the past and gain rewards bit by bit, that will speed up your development.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4561540/You_must_evolve_it_Incremental/

The playtest is actively open on Steam!

If you'd like to follow development, share feedback, or just chat with us, feel free to join our Discord.

Hello everyone, I just launched a playable free prototype for my game Popcorn Idle.

Popcorn Idle is a cozy idle/incremental automation game about the simple joy of popping corn. Earn money, buy upgrades, automate and turn up the heat to boost production. Grow bigger numbers, unlock flavors and combine effects. Fill the whole machine with colorful, tasty popcorn, one crunchy pop at a time.

No fast clicks required, simply hold the mouse over a kernel and watch it pop!

My goal is to make a satisfying idle/incremental game that evolves into a chaos fest of popped corn. I am always open for feedback and I want to hear what you think about it.

You can play the game right now in the browser:

Hi guys, just wanted to let anyone interested know that our Incremental x City builder mix is launching on November 16!

To go with that, we’ve just pushed a new demo version on Steam (hopefully the last one this time lold) If that kind of mix sounds like your thing, please consider giving it a try and please let us know what you think

And a huge thank you to everyone from this sub who played the earlier versions and shared their feedback with us!

AI Disclosure: No generative AI was used in the development of Clicky Islands or in any of its code, art, audio, texts, or other game assets etc.
We still believe making indie games should be fun, challenging, and a chance to learn and tbh handing that work over to AI kinda takes away a big part of what makes it unique and worthwhile 🤔

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to present SIEGE OF INCREMENTALIA which is the sequel to Journey to Incrementalia.

Like the first game, this game is about summoning a large undead army and casting spells to break down a series of walls. As it is a sequel, the core gameplay is similar to Journey but much more balanced and refined, and with better graphics! One major new mechanic is battling the enemy army behind the wall.

You can also expect a storyline of sorts involving the return of Bonesley (now a general), skeletal monarchs, countless bone puns and other jokes of questionable taste!

If you try the demo please enjoy! All feedback is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Adam

AI disclosure: I use AI from time to time for coding problems. I estimate 90% of code is human-written. Everything else, including art and story writing is done by feeble humans.

Earlier this year, I asked my friends what kind of game they wanted me to make next. One of them, who's a huge fan of incremental games, suggested me (passionately lol) to make one.

So of course, I did.

I was already developing my own game engine in C++ and OpenGL (for another now cancelled project...), and since it was really well optimized for managing tons of stuff in real time, not to use it for that?

And that's how INCREMINER was born! (Amazing, incredible original name, I know.)

It's an incremental mining game where you start with a single dwarf and gradually build an entire mining colony. As you progress, you unlock upgrades, automate your mining operations, and end up with thousands of dwarves digging in the planet you choose (each planet represents a difficult setting).

The game can simulate thousands of dwarves simultaneously, and my personal record so far is around 5k dwarves, I think I finished the game with 2 or 3k dwarves.

It's also the first game I'm releasing using my own engine, which makes it a pretty special milestone for me as a solo developer.

The demo is already available on Steam, and the game is participating in Steam Next Fest this month, with the full release planned for shortly afterward.

All help is very welcome, so by wishlisting it you make my day, my week and my year fr ❤️

I'm not a content creator, I can barely edit videos. Please don't be mean with the trailer hehe.

AI disclosure: No AI-generated assets or other content were used in the creation of IncreMiner, apart from translations. All visual assets were either handmade or sourced from itch.io, with their respective creators properly credited in the game's Credits submenu.

The only remaining use of AI in the project is for localization. As the game generates revenue, I plan to reinvest that money into hiring professional translators to gradually replace every AI-generated translation, with the ultimate goal of having no AI-generated content left in the game.

Hey! We're working on Drill Deep, a pixel-art digging incremental that slowly turns into cosmic horror.

You start out mining coal under a quiet green field. Eventually, you're tearing through the mine with chain lightning, lasers and swarms of little robots. And somewhere along the way, the mine starts looking back at you. Cosmic horror, no jump scares.

We just released a big update, including a new perk system. You pick perks as you level up and build combos around your pickaxe, autodrill and automatons. We want choosing your next perk to feel like a chance to take your build somewhere interesting.

The update also adds flying and spider automatons, reworked lava and mushroom biomes, new monsters and corruption that makes each run a little more wrong.

Our Steam playtest is open, and we'd love to have more playtesters! We're especially interested in how the new perks feel: whether the choices are interesting, which combos you discover, and where progression starts feeling slow or frustrating.

You can join the playtest here:

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try — we'd love to hear how your run went!

AI Disclosure

No generative AI was used in the development of Loot Dungeon or in any of its code, art, animation, audio, writing, or other game assets.

You start with one ball on one wheel. Every ball that lands pays by its pocket, and balls on Zero also pay Skill Points. Money goes into 39 upgrades; the big ones double at milestones and change their names, so Red Payout eventually becomes The Idea of Red. Skill Points go into a 127-node skill tree that you keep for good. Before long you're running 80+ balls on one wheel, with special pockets, multipliers, crits, jackpots and Overdrive stacked on top of each other.

The prestige layer is a cash out, done face to face. The table goes dark and you sit across from the croupier. He sweeps your money away and pays you Chips for the House's branch of the tree. Then he deals three House rules, each a big boost with a catch (Red pays 6x, Black pays nothing), and you take one into the next run. Later the House runs out of chips and pays in kind instead: the deed to the block (rent), the number seven (every seventh ball pays 7x), the Moon's mineral rights (low gravity, every ball lands twice). Those are permanent and change how your runs play. There are six rooms, 17 tables, and one last table where the cashier is shut.

AI Disclosure: as a 3D artist with 10 years of professional experience and a former game developer. i used generative AI to assist with some coding and shaders. the art and game design are my own work

Wishlisting and following the game on steam would mean a lot. thanks!

Hey, my problem is, I can't figure out a core formula for my production in my game. My game is pretty much an antimatter dimension/revolution idle like incremental game.

How am I "inventing" a new core formula that's still simple. I really like the formula of the generation chain (like antimatter) and the genius simplicity of revolution idles formula with the multiplicators that is growing. I want something my own, unique formula, but it's so hard. I want to keep the idea of having several "generators", instead of just one thing you can upgrade. However, each generator follows roughly the same logic.

My question is, how did you invent your own formula?

Thanks for every answer

You quit your job and wreck the office floor by floor with a bowling ball tied to a network cable. Short runs, an upgrade "org chart", ten floors with an ending, and coworkers who comment on everything you break.

It's a prototype and I'm trying to decide if it's worth turning into a full game. What I'd love to know:

• Did you finish it? If not, where did you stop?
• Which floor felt too slow or too easy?
• Did the upgrades feel meaningful?

Hey everyone,

I shared RattyJunkIdle here before, and I've made quite a few changes since then. Some people ran into language and guest login problems last time, so those were among the things I worked on. Thanks for pointing them out.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's a browser idle RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. You gather materials, craft equipment, put together skill builds, and run automated dungeons, with action queues and offline progress.

A few things that have changed:

• Fixes for guest login and language selection, plus improvements to English text and smaller screens.
• Clearer feedback when changing equipment, better inventory organization, and fewer separate reward pop-ups when you return.
• A new dungeon, Off-Orbit Ranch, and Deception, an activity where you use cowbells to try for skill packs for your chosen build.
• Changes to skill progression: basic packs help you get started, while more specialized skill books remain dungeon rewards.

I'd like some advice on what to build next. What would you add to give players more interesting choices as they progress? More build variety, different dungeon challenges, exploration, or something else?

If you try it, I'd also like to know where you first get bored or feel unsure what to work toward. That would help me decide which parts need more attention.

Examples from other idle games are welcome too. A feature you enjoyed, and why it worked for you, would be useful.

You can try it in your browser with a guest account, no signup needed:

I use generative AI to help with code and testing, many current art assets, and some writing and translation. I review and edit the output and make the design decisions.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a small cozy incremental game called FlossenFarm, and I just published the first playable version on itch.io.

You can play it here: https://catniptavern.itch.io/flossenfarm

The core loop is pretty straightforward: you manage a fish farm, tap an egg until it’s open, drop food, raise your fish and earn.

Whats currently in the game:

Different fish species to unlock and hatch

Pond upgrades and automation mechanics

Playable directly in browser

Since its completely free, I'd really appreciate any feedback on the pacing, progression balance, or ideas for features you'd like to see added next.

Thanks for checking it out and let me know what you think!

AI coding tools are used throughout development.

I'm working on game development. Initially planning to create a 2D AFK game. I decided to pivot to 2.5D MMORPG games after received harsh response from this subreddit.

I’m sharing some raw gameplay footage of our Sniper class holding it down in The Hesperides (a holy element dungeon).

What we're currently working on behind the scenes:

• VFX Polish: Refining the spell impacts, projectile trails, and holy lighting inside the dungeon for crisp, satisfying combat feedback.
• 3D Monster Modeling: Modeling and rigging new dungeon creatures and MVPs using Blender before bringing them straight into the browser engine.

We are slowly rolling out early access invites! You can secure your spot or try out our instant Lv 200 sandbox dungeon right now directly in your browser:

Hi everyone,

I'm Dyson, a solo developer working on an incremental game called "Birds Go Fishing". its released today in early access on steam.

This game is set on a new planet called thysara, where a total day is 40 hours.

game has day and night cycle,

1. day: you can unlock 8 different types of day birds to catch fish. these birds are inspired from birds on earth. for example, there is a bird in game called "shadow". it is inspired from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_heron. this bird spreads its wings to create shade, fish comes to the shadow to escape sunlight. each bird in this game has a different style for catching fish.

2. night: creatures called trenchers rise from ocean floor every night to kill player. to defend player, you can unlock 8 different types of night birds. each has its own way of killing trencher. for example, there is a bird whose only purpose is to find & reveal the boss, so that other night birds attack and kill the boss.

Why Early Access?

Goal of the game is for the player to earn 1,000,000 gold so that he can start his own fishing business. early access game is complete on its own (there can be bugs which I will fix), but my goal is to add all the story I wrote for this game. so full release will have more mechanics and more story.

Game name: Clickerite

Hey everyone! I just released the playtest demo of my incremental mining clicker, where you craft tools and enchant them to increase your click power. The demo has 2 biomes with 4 levels on each.

Would love to get your feedback on the demo! I've already run closed playtests with my friends but I mostly need people to test the balancing, so try to break the game however you can think of haha

I've been a game developer for 3 years on a small studio but it recently closed its doors. This is my first solo project, but Im happy how it turned out!

If you like what you see you can play the demo directly on the browser or download it here: https://bugguri.itch.io/clickerite

You can also wishlist it on Steam

AI disclosure: No art was created with generative AI. I only used AI for translation and helping with some code.

Hi Mergers,

Been a while since i posted MergeCiv here. The biggest addition is the Wilds, a 3D valley where you raise a dragon, hunt animals and bring offerings to an altar. As the valley recovers, water returns, trees grow and the small folk wake up. You can help them gather supplies and mine firestone, and they keep building out their towns and roads while you're away. You get there through the Dragon Egg research in the main game.

If you're new, MergeCiv starts with matching tiles on a board. Merge them into a village, grow your production and resettle for permanent upgrades. There's a separate army board too, where you merge troops troops, arm them with metal from your workshops and send them into battle. And if you push all the way to Citadel 100, Transcension is finally in, with an Astral Tree for permanent constellations and unit upgrades.

The village and battle art both got a big painted update too, along with cinematics for the main resets.

Let me know what feels good and where you get stuck :)

Happy merging!

I know one of those games and that is Caravan Carnage: Fruity Road (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3330940/Caravan_Carnage_Fruity_Road/) It not have the incremental tag but I think is one. becuase some old flash game are incremental and this look like is going to be a old flash game (I know is not on flash or old). even if not an incremental I think is a game that I still want.

another game that some people thing is a incremental even if not have an incremental tag is luck of the landlord. I dont think that game is an incremental I think is a roguelike but not an incremental. also there is outpath that may be a incremental even if not have the incremental tag...

but what other games do you consider incremental even if dont have the incremental tag?

I'm developing Ember Lives, a fantasy idle MMORPG that runs in a browser. It is completely free, with a guest start and one shared worldwide server. English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian and Hindi are available.

Play: https://ember-lives.vercel.app/

You choose a character's ancestry, origin and profession, then let them adventure, gather or work automatically. Combat and production have separate levels. The opening progresses faster, while later growth is deliberately slow; workshops and processing facilities unlock higher-tier recipes as they level up. Offline progress is calculated when you return, with a 12-hour catch-up cap per update.

The part I'm most interested in is making other players matter even in an idle game. Gatherers supply materials, producers make equipment and consumables, and player-to-player trade goes through national markets. Buying abroad creates a delivery job for a merchant. A convoy takes real time, its escorts share the journey, and valuable cargo can be robbed. Players can also rescue fallen characters, rebuild forward camps and contribute to reclaiming occupied regions.

This is an early playable alpha with a small population, not a finished or large-scale-tested MMO. Balance and onboarding still need work. In particular, a foreign order currently waits for a merchant to accept it and has no cancellation option, so local buying is the better place to start.

I'd appreciate feedback on the first 15 minutes: is it clear what your profession is doing and what you earned? Does the slower growth feel satisfying? For the economy, where would waiting on another player become frustrating rather than interesting?

AI Disclosure

Generative AI was used extensively in development: much of the code was generated or edited with Codex; portraits, illustrations and UI art use AI-generated assets, including PixelLab; the music was AI-generated. AI also assisted game text, translations and this post. Gameplay itself uses predefined simulation rules and does not call a generative AI model while you play.

Update (15 October): Russian and Hindi are now live, bringing the game to six languages. Each kingdom also has 10 clearly marked NPC gatherers stocking basic materials to help with early shortages; player market listings remain preferred for automatic procurement. Rare dungeon materials still come from expeditions.

Hi all, I'm the developer of a game currently called Idle Iron Man (I'll probably have to change the name, so alternative title suggestions are welcome!). It's currently a small, free prototype, and I'd love your honest feedback.

I run a triathlon site, and as I was developing some tools, first a Triathlon Time Calculator and then a Race Position Simulator, it struck me that triathlon could be a really good topic for an incremental/idle game. It has three disciplines, lots of training, nutrition in and out, energy, rest & recovery, and a slow incremental build towards increasingly ambitious goals. So I started developing this prototype.

The idle mechanics

• You start as a couch potato (not my favourite term, so alternative suggestions are welcome!) and train swim, bike, run and strength. Each has its own level and distance ("furthest you can go").
• Energy, fatigue and fuel limit how hard you can push, so rest and food matter.
• Hire a training plan and your athlete trains on their own, including while you're away. Offline progress is calculated from your last visit, capped at 8 hours (some upgrades raise the cap).
• Spend coins on coaches, kit and facilities to speed things up.
• Enter events for medals and bigger rewards: mini triathlon, sprint, Olympic, 70.3, full Ironman, then ultras and a ridiculous finale called The Iron Absurdity.
• After your first Ironman you can retire and start a new career with permanent Legacy Points (light prestige).

Platform / links

Browser only for now (works on desktop and phone browsers). Free, no ads, no account, no purchases. Progress saves in your browser. Possible mobile version to follow?

A bit about me

I have a tech and writing background, including several years in app development and QA. This is an independent project I've been developing myself with no affiliation to any developer or publisher.

AI disclosure

A large part of the coding was done with AI help (Claude), including the game code and the artwork which is drawn in code. I direct the concept, gameplay, design and UI, and test and tune the game. The promo video's voiceover, if you see it elsewhere, is also AI-generated. This post was written by me!

What I'd love to hear

1. What do you like, and what's boring or confusing?
2. What's missing that you'd expect from an idle game?
3. If you could change one thing, what would it be?
4. How does the pacing feel? The balance so far comes from my own simulations, not many players.

A bigger question: real-time events?

Right now a race plays out as a quick animation. I'm wondering about making events run in real time, like the real thing: a sprint triathlon around 2 hours, a full Ironman around 8 hours, while you do other things (it's an idle game, after all). Would that be a fun long-haul commitment, or just too long? Would you want it optional, or sped up by upgrades?

Please give it a try! It's a prototype, so please be blunt. Thanks for reading!
