Incremental game

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]
