Counting Incremental

A browser-based incremental/clicker game.

⚠️ Warning: this game is still in early development. Expect updates, bugs and potential data loss. ⚠️

Run

Just open the page in a browser:

• Incremental/index.html

The game loads game.js as an ES module.

How it works (high level)

Core loop

• Count: manually increases Score (with a cooldown).
• Auto Count: adds score automatically every ~2 seconds.
• Levels: when unlocked, each manual Count adds XP; leveling increases the gains.

Subtraction Points + reset

• When Score reaches the reset threshold, you can Reset to convert score into Subtraction Points.
• RESET_REQUIREMENT is defined in config.js.
• Reset clears score-based upgrades only; some upgrade types depend on Subtraction Points.

Currencies

• Number (score)
  • Increased by Count and Auto Count.
  • Spent on score-based upgrades.
• Negative Number (subtractionPoints)
  • Earned when you Reset.
  • Spent on Subtraction Points upgrades.
• XP (xp) and Level (level)
  • Used for the Level Bar mechanic once unlocked.

Upgrades

Upgrades are rendered dynamically from config.js (UPGRADES).
Each upgrade has:

• a name + description
• a currency type
• a cost (number, array or formula)
• a max level/cap

Save data

Player progress is persisted using localStorage under:

• incremental.player

The stored data includes:

• playerCurrencies (e.g. score, subtractionPoints, xp, level)
• playerUpgrades

You can erase saved data via the Erase player data button.

Code map

• index.html: UI skeleton + loads game.js
