Yet Another Incremental Game But This Time About Coding
95❤ 2.7⭐ | by Poptocrack Yet Another Incremental Game (But This Time About Coding) is an idle clicker where your keyboard is your greatest weapon. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know how to code. Just roll your head on the keys, and watch characters magically appear as your projects take shape. There’s no “The End” (yet), but there’s always more code to generate, more upgrades to unlock, and more progress to chase. Features: Mash keys, spawn code – type anything (or nothing that makes sense) and your code grows. Hire AI assistants – automated helpers who type for you, so you can lean back. Recruit AI uber agents – specialists for one specific task, boosting production even further. Take on client projects – earn rewards by coding for imaginary customers. Unlock upgrades and achievements – keep pushing your efficiency to absurd levels. Idle progress – your AI keeps coding even while you’re away. Light narrative flavor – quirky messages and hints of a bigger mystery add some personality. Whether you’re here for the numbers going up, the absurdity of mashing your keyboard, or the dream of an AI-powered dev empire, this game delivers the core incremental loop fans love.
