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:

There also is a Steam page up and if you want to wishlist it:

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 🤔

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!

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

Playable Link: https://sunsetgamestudio.itch.io/click-florist

Platform: Web at the moment - Coming to Windows/Mac/Linux and iOS

Description: Click the flowers in your bed to grow potted flowers, then drag them to your shops to sell. Spend what you earn on workers, new flowers and new buildings, and before long the garden runs itself.

Free To Play Status:

• [ ]Free to play
• [x]Demo
• [ ] Paid

Involvement: I have been working on a clicker/incremental game about selling flowers for a little while now and would love some feedback on the demo. The full game will be available on steam but for the demo I have made a web build for everyone to play.

No gen AI used.

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:

AI disclosure

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.

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.

I've been working on Dungeon Architect: Idle, an incremental game where you build your own dungeon, place traps and monsters, and defend it against waves of heroes.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5368130/Dungeon_Architect_Idle/

AI disclosure: localization and some assets.

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’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 Disclosure

AI coding tools are used throughout development.

hi! I made a game that I think fits here, though it's more "active automation" than pure idle, so mods, feel free to tell me if I'm off.

Skyreap: https://entin-games.itch.io/skyreap

the progression loop is the part I care about most:

you start out clicking trees one by one → build a port and a flying ship → take over new islands with new resources → build some basic automation → set up production chains between them.

the long-term idea is that by the end almost everything runs by itself and your little hut has turned into a palace.

the skill tree is still being built, and my main rule for it is no boring "+5% wood" upgrades. I want every upgrade to change how you play a bit. if you have favorite examples of incremental upgrades done right, I'd honestly love to hear them

the demo is free and plays in the browser or on Windows. as for length... I genuinely don't know. I've played it so many times I speedrun it without thinking, but a normal human might spend around 2 hours. if you get to the end, tell me your time, it would help me a lot

any feedback on pacing is super welcome, this sub knows pacing better than anyone 😅

AI disclosure: AI tools were used to help write parts of the code. Our artist sometimes uses AI for early concept sketches only, and all the final in-game art is hand-drawn. Sound and music were made without any AI.

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?

Hey everyone,
I have been working on something that is basically a farming tycoon game where you start as a small harvester and grow into a tycoon by unlocking different ways to process and sell the product. I have played and really enjoyed Game Dev Tycoon, Anno 1404, Hundred Days, etc. where incremental mechanism is the essence of the experience.

One thing that is difficult to choose while designing the game is to deciding on the time progress. So please tell me your opinion as a player, which one do you prefer? Why?

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.

Hey everyone!

I'm a solo developer working on Slime Reborn, a free incremental/rpg game where you start as a tiny slime and slowly grow, adapt and evolve!

A bunch of new systems and content were added for this update like new exploration/auto-battler combat, skill-tree added and reworked to feel like a slime organism, quest/discoveries and much more!

The Game is still early access and I'm continuing to improve it based on player feedback. I'd love to hear what you think!

Dip a sword into a soul flame: the longer it stays in, the more shards it earns, until it shatters and you lose the round's pot. Pull at the last moment for a PERFECT temper (x1.5) and chain good pulls into a Hot Streak.

Bank shards across 3 rounds to hit each forge's quota (40 / 250 / 2000), and spend them in the Soul Market on stacking upgrades: Soul Funnel, Crack Sense, Razor's Edge, Hot Streak, Quench Seal and the Devil's Bargain wager. 3 levels, about 15-25 minutes, with mouse, keyboard, gamepad or touch.

Feedback on the upgrade balance and quota pacing is very welcome.

The art (sprites and story scenes), the game code and the story text were made with generative AI tools under my direction. The music is my own, not AI.

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! I've just released a free browser demo of my small incremental, Grave Filler.

You run the night shift at a village cemetery where the dead keep arriving by the cartload. The core loop:

- pitch bodies from the pen into one grave

- bodies decay over time, freeing space and releasing souls

- catch souls and spend them on occult upgrades; burials pay money for the Undertaker's Book

- when the grave is full, a dig crew empties it and digs it deeper and wider

- automate with gravediggers, a hearse, an ossuary and a crematorium; soldiers, nobles and knights pay extra

- prestige: consecrate the cemetery for relics and permanent Chapel upgrades

It's active at the start and mostly idle-with-decisions later. The demo takes about 1.5 hours to The Pit; there's a short story and dark humour along the way. English and Polish.

You can test it out on itch.io -> https://xkomarx.itch.io/grave-filler

I'm especially looking for feedback on pacing (any dead stretches or walls?) and clarity (was it obvious what to buy next?). Brutal honesty welcome.

AI disclosure:

Yeah i used AI assistance creating it ( code, art, sound/music, transaltions ), i'm just designer so it was fastest way to try out my designs.

Hi all, to start, got sick of p2w whales that just buy to the top of the game, so I created a game myself with minimal p2w aspects.

I'll be honest and yes there still in app purchases, but those are mainly to help to sustain the

It's basically a xianxia cultivation incremental game with references to donghua characters. You are rewarded based on how well you understand your own team's comp and understanding the skills and abilities that your partner has.

Build a team of 6 and dive through all the stages and progress even when offline. 240 characters to collect, with guilds and arena.

Fishing, forging and server-wide event daily as well.

I'm planning to do an event for the upcoming halloween with no p2w aspects, just stay active and play to get the rewards :D.

It's out on Googleplay now while the iOS version is pending apple's review.

Feel free to give any feedback on the gameplay and stuff.

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of Bloxster. Version 1.0 is now publicly available on Google Play.

You start by mining three-dimensional ore blocks, turn materials into Cubes and upgrades, and build a robotic mining crew. World 1 contains 44 floors across five regions. Golems gate later progress; Prestige, AI Cores, the Collection, Bloxworx town and the Observatory add systems as you advance.

The game is in English and free to download, with optional one-time Value Packs, permanent Perks and a Founder's Bundle. Some purchases include randomized items. There are no player accounts or developer-operated cloud saves: progress is local, so keep a backup before clearing app data or uninstalling.

I'd be interested to hear which part of the early progression feels satisfying and where the next useful upgrade is unclear.

Hi, we're the small team behind Arsenal Zero. It's playable now, free, in the browser (desktop or phone).

The loop

• Your operator goes on expeditions, from a few minutes to several hours. They keep running while you're offline.
• Your gear's power vs. the zone's required power sets how good the loot is when they come back.
• Every copy of an item rolls its own power. Duplicates level your items up to 5, and a better roll replaces your best.
• Between expeditions, you sweep abandoned zones with a radar to find hidden crates, and craft in the Workshop.
• Every evening (8 to 11 pm, your local time), the Iron Tower opens: 10 floors, one climb.
• 100+ items to collect from Common to Mythic, grouped in collections.

It's free to play. There are optional purchases (crystals), never required to progress, and no trading of any kind.

Play: arsenalzero.com

What we'd love feedback on
We're tuning the economy with our first players right now. Which timers feel too long, which rewards feel too generous or too stingy, and where did you stop playing?
