What are Idle Games?
Idle games (also called incremental games or idlers) are games where progress continues even when you're not actively playing.
Unlike traditional games that require constant attention, idle games let you set up automated systems that generate resources while you're away. Check back hours later and discover your empire has grown exponentially!
Key Characteristics
The Prestige Mechanic
The secret to infinite growth
Most idle games eventually hit a wall where progress slows to a crawl. That's when the prestige mechanic becomes essential.
By resetting your progress, you gain permanent multipliers (often called Heavenly Chips, Prestige Points, or similar). Your next playthrough will be significantly faster, allowing you to reach even higher milestones.

Idle Games FAQ
Common questions about incremental games
How do idle games save my progress?
Most browser-based idle games use localStorage or cookies to save your progress automatically. Some also offer cloud saves or export codes.
What's the difference between idle and incremental games?
Idle games emphasize passive progress over time, while incremental games focus on the number-growing loop. In practice, most games combine both elements.
Are idle games really fun if they play themselves?
Absolutely! The fun comes from strategic planning, optimization, and the satisfaction of watching exponential growth—it's like tending a garden.
Do I need to leave my browser open?
Not necessarily. Many idle games calculate offline progress when you return, rewarding you for the time away.
