Incremental games, also known as clicker games, clicking games (on PCs) or tap games (in mobile games), are video games whose gameplay consists of the player performing simple actions such as clicking on the screen repeatedly. This "grinding" earns the player in-game currency which can be used to increase the rate of currency acquisition.[1] In some games, even the clicking becomes unnecessary at some point, as the game plays itself, including in the player's absence;[2] such games are called idle games.
You can also "ascend" to essentially start over, but you'll unlock more special powers in the process.
