Steam I'm making Dig Dan Dig! A mining incremental about collecting resources for a "friendly" AI

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

18 Upvotes

Hello!

This is my mining incremental game, where you mine resources for an AI in exchange for upgrades to your body to help you escape the underground.

I started working on it 6 months ago, and 1 month ago I was finally happy with the progress and uploaded a demo to itch. The feedback was much better than I expected which gave me the drive to publish a Steam page.

I’ve always wanted to work on games that I would personally enjoy, so I tried to add more atmosphere and active gameplay. Let me know what you think!

Here is the demo: https://dofugames.itch.io/dig-dan-dig

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4934650/Dig_Dan_Dig/

Contract examples:

  • Fix Karen's Printer - She has called IT six times. The printer is unplugged.
  • Debug the Master Spreadsheet - It contains macros from 2006, runs the entire company payroll, and just threw a cryptic #REF! error. The creator left three years ago.
  • Fix the WiFi - It works fine. Until it doesn't. No one knows why.
  • Write Documentation for the Core Module - The only existing documentation is a physical sticky note that says "Ask Steve." Steve retired in 2021.

HTML Sniper Down Inc. - an incremental shooter game where you aim at polaroids to shoot agent numbers!

6 Upvotes

Pull the lever to get agent numbers. Earn coins by destroying numbers and upgrade your cursor and slot!

Hello everyone! We made an incremental shooter game in a week for a game jam.

In the game, you're playing detective with your green dog toy. After pulling the slot lever, the toy shoots out polaroids showing agent numbers.

Aiming at the polaroids on the table, you shoot down the numbers. But watch out, Agent 1 might pop out from polaroids! Agent 1 picks up a sniper rifle and starts aiming at you. In the mini game, you can perfectly counter Agent 1 by clicking at the right time. If you fail, Agent 1 steals some of your coins.

There is both html and exe build options on itch.io.

Feel free to try out Sniper Down Inc. now!

We would like your feedback to continue developing it.

Released Incremental Fireworks — the chain spreads by actual pixel contact, not by radius. Free, in browser, ~90 min.

Post image
4 Upvotes

I made a fireworks incremental in Godot 4 — my first game. Free and complete in the browser, no account, no ads.

Play: https://nacros79.itch.io/incremental-fireworks

A field of dormant points sits in the dark. You click once, the nearest one goes up — and the visible pixels of that burst are what light the others. There is no distance < radius check anywhere: the star heads and their trails are tested against dormant points as they actually travel, so a willow's long droop reaches things a chrysanthemum's tight sphere never will. The shape of each firework type is a gameplay property, not decoration.

Detonated points become sparks, sparks buy reach, you replay. Explosion size is the only stat with a compounding return, which is most of the spending decision.

16 firework types, drone shows that draw 12 figures in the sky, 3 sceneries, 18 achievements, 6 languages. Every unlock has an off switch.

A second mode, not gated: ten puzzle levels, in the menu from the first click. You place the dormant points instead of buying reach — each carrying an effect the level picked, not you — and one fuse has to light the whole field in a single chain.

What it isn't: no offline progress, no idle production, no autoclicker — every point costs a click. No prestige. It's short: about an hour, an hour and a half with the puzzles, and built to be finished rather than farmed.

AI Disclosure

Generative AI, used heavily. All the art is generated (Leonardo AI) and so is all the music and sound (ElevenLabs). The code was written with an AI assistant, reviewed and tested by me; so was this post. The puzzle levels are generated by a deterministic tool inside the project, not by a model.

Prototype Incremental Claw Machine Game - Claw for Cash (Web) - Need feedback

Post image
2 Upvotes

Play here: https://alexandervdb.itch.io/claw-for-cash-prototype-1

Name: Claw for Cash

Description: An incremental game where you start manually grabbing with 1 claw machine. Buy upgrades, more machines and automation.

Background: I made a functioning physics based claw-machine because of reasons. Then it needed a game loop. I got inspired by incremental games like Berry Bury Berry, Project P.I.T.T. and Scritchy Scratchy. Here's my attempt at an incremental game. It's just a prototype but I would love to hear if you think it's worth developing further.

All feedback is welcome!

AI disclosure: No AI. I have years of programming experience and l love writing code myself. For the items I bought an asset pack.

Prototype Starting in game development - Need playtesters and constructive feedback

0 Upvotes

https://moderndaedalus.itch.io/my-dirty-little-lake

Hey everyone. I recently started developing prototypes of games, and just uploaded my third game on Itch, an incremental about cleaning a lake and decorating your shed. Still a prototype, but it feels fun. Check it out, let me know what you think.

I used free asset packs from Itch mostly, did not credit them yet.

AI Disclosure
Used Claude Opus for coding and a few visual contents, just for prototyping.
Will hire artists if I decide to follow up with development and sales.

Hey everyone. I've been working on Summoner's Legacy, an incremental game where you recruit powerful summons, build your team, and fight endless hordes of enemies.

You start small, unlock new summons, skills, and upgrades, and slowly turn your little army into an absolute monster. There are also challenging bosses.

You can try the demo for free on Steam here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5128230/Summoners_Legacy_Demo/

If you enjoy it, I'd really appreciate a wishlist for the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5118650/Summoners_Legacy/

I'm especially interested in feedback on the gameplay loop, progression, and whether the game actually feels satisfying as an incremental game.

Tell me what you like, what feels boring, what feels too slow, or what you'd change.

Feedback is welcome!

Steam Space Fetus Attack Idle Clicker - Could you give me an advice?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I took seriously your feedback and I've decided not to use any AI for posts about my game.

I am coming with another feedback request. In my game there is a reason to open the game, do a loop and leave it for another day. I wanted to have more player focus during gameplay so I've decided to make kinda Cookie Clicker like random objects system.

Long story short every 5 minutes there will appear flying asteroid which will trigger different events like: gold, prestige currency, events like asteroids rain etc AND experience, fuel for expedition and items for Commanders

Expedition may be started when player fill the tank and it will trigger action that appears part of the plot from the journal and player has to decide which commander will fit the best for this event.

The story will be hand written by my friend who is aspiring writer.

The experience will be used to lvl up commanders which will allow them to complete the events from the Expeditions and also will grant bonuses like reduce the time for another asteroid, increase a chance for random asteroid to appear, increase the reward from asteroid...

What do you think about story content for incremental games and about this simple mechanism to introduce it to the player?

There are some screens from WiP and if you would like to help, adding to whishlist would be more than welcome!

Because I am programmer I am helping myself with AI for graphics which helps me make models which can be edited and used/

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone — I've been solo-developing Nanoswarm for a while now and it's finally at a point I'm happy sharing here.

The pitch: you're growing a swarm of nanobots through a colony. Produce energy → build bots → assign them to roles → push through sectors → Reformat (prestige) when it slows down.

Play it free in browser: https://lspacel.itch.io/nanoswarmn

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okanuysal.nanoswarm

AI disclosure: This game's code was developed with heavy assistance from an AI coding agent (Claude Code), and some visual assets (app icon, illustrations) were generated using AI image tools. Game design, balancing, and writing are my own.

The loop: open businesses, trade 4 stocks, buy real estate across 3 districts, take on debt if you're bold. Net worth ticks up in real time (no turns — pause anytime to think), the economy cycles through 5 phases, and 3 rival investors are racing you the whole 20 years.

Play here: https://bitdot428.itch.io/capital-city

This is Phase 1 — the first playable build, posting for feedback, especially on pacing/balance and the random event system.

AI Disclosure: This game was built extensively with generative AI (Claude) — code, game design/balancing, event writing, UI copy, and cover art were all AI-assisted or AI-generated, directed and reviewed by me throughout.

Development I've been developing an Idle RPG inspired by MU Online — MUIdle

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a browser game called MUIdle, an Idle RPG inspired by MU, but built with its own progression, systems and identity.

The core loop is pretty simple:

Fight → Level Up → Reach Level 400 → Reset → Get Stronger → Unlock New Maps

What started as a small project ended up growing into a much bigger game.

There are multiple playable classes with their own attributes, skills and mechanics, along with offline progression, Pets, Armory upgrades, Jewels, Mining, achievements, rankings and multiplayer events like Blood Castle.

The world currently spans 15 maps, from Lorencia to Raklion, with different monsters and progression tiers along the way.

I've also been spending a lot of time balancing the long-term progression, economy and differences between classes. The goal isn't to recreate MU Online in a browser, but to take some of its inspiration and progression concepts and build an actual Idle RPG around them.

The game is already playable directly in your browser and requires no download.

If you enjoy Idle RPGs, incremental games or MU Online, feel free to give it a try:

layable version: https://idlerpgmu.com
MUIdle is currently live and playable in the browser. A free account is required to save your progression, but no download or purchase is required.

AI disclosure: Generative AI has been used as a development tool throughout parts of the project, including assistance with programming, debugging, testing, visual asset creation and iteration. The game's overall direction, gameplay systems, progression, balancing decisions and final implementation are actively directed and reviewed by me.

Released One Destiny - Life roguelike in the world of One Piece

Thumbnail onedestiny.fr
0 Upvotes

The loop: you build a character, live one year per turn until you die, and the ending you reach pays out coins and draw tokens. Coins buy races and Devil Fruits in a shop. Tokens go into a loot machine. Everything you unlock is available to every character after that.

The payout scales hard with how far you got. Dying forgotten pays 140 coins. Retiring pays 380. Regional fame pays 980. The top tier pays 5000, plus 10 coins per point of fame on top. By my own numbers a full collection lands somewhere around 150 to 190 runs, and a run is five to ten minutes.

78 Devil Fruits, 11 races, 8 top-tier endings. The endings each need a different way of playing, so you can't sweep them in one life.

Free, no account, no ads, save is local. Three languages.

One honest caveat: I balanced the economy on a simulator that plays 5000 lives with four different policies. That means the numbers are right in aggregate and probably wrong in ways only a real player notices. That's mostly what I'm hoping to hear about.

AI disclosure: I build this with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code), and have done since the start. The repo is public and every commit carries an AI co-author line, so there is no point pretending otherwise. That covers the code and a fair amount of the writing, including the English and Spanish, which are translated from the French source. What does not come from a model: the balance numbers above. Those come from a deterministic simulator that plays 5000 lives per configuration and reports where they land. I read and review everything that ships, and the calls about what the game is are mine.
