#devlog #incremental
I attempt to alleviate what I feel is a common problem in the incremental genre: The feeling of tedious, repetitive gameplay actions which do not feel meaningful at a certain point in the game. Therefore, I wanted to make a game that can be completed in a single session. I wanted to avoid the fatigue of doing the same thing over and over by introducing new mechanics and influences to gameplay so that by the time you finish, you feel that you had a complete experience.
Main inspiration: The Hex and A Game About Feeding A Black Hole
I spent a solid month putting this together around late January 2026 while I was deep into my incremental game obsession. Once I finished, I realized it didn't quite capture what I wanted. Therefore, I abandoned it. However, I never published it for others to try out and play. So, go ahead and poke around and leave some feedback if you feel up to it. I still love incremental games to this day, and I was super curious what made them tick, and how to create something at least adjacent to the genre.
