Incremental game
video game genre, where players make progress by accumulating resources, upgrading systems, or unlocking new features over time, often with minimal interaction required From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An incremental, Idle, or clicker game is a video game genre. An incremental game is played by doing simple things such as clicking on the screen and watching numbers go up.[1] One popular idle game is Clicker Heroes.[2]
In some idle games, even the clicking is no longer needed after some time, as the game plays itself.[2]
