What’s the Big Deal About Incremental Games?
Okay, so if you’ve ever opened up your phone during lunch break, tapped on a weirdly hypnotic game that auto-collects cookies (yes, we’re talking Cookie Clicker vibes here), and somehow 2 hours just… disappear – yeah, that’s pretty much what incremental games do. But hold up: is Clash of Clans an incremental or idle game? We’ll get to that in a moment, first let’s dig into the absolute cream of the crop in 2024.
- Addictive progression loop: Level after level of growth feels rewarding without pressure.
- Hands-off gameplay: You earn rewards while away from the screen, which makes it ultra convenient.
- Perfect for casual play: No stressful timing or intense decision-making required. Tap at your own pace!

---Number 10 - Idle Miner Tycoon: Build & Chill Mode Activated 🛠
Dude seriously, Idle Miner Tycoon feels like building Legos... except now you're mining iron for no good reason and watching numbers skyrocket. The whole concept? Just click, set workers on autopilot and go “YOLO" as profits climb. You literally upgrade upgrades. Is this meta-level laziness or life skills developed via mobile gaming? Probably both.
---Number 9 - Cookie Clicker (Yep It Still Owns) 🍪🔥
Listen up kids: Julien “Not A Madman" Thiennot gave us this timeless gem back when Obama was halfway through his presidency – and guess what – this cookie-hoarding madness STILL gets love from all walks of geekdom today.
| Cool Factor | Silly Power-ups: |
|---|---|
| Weird buildings unlock based on real world cookie consumption stats | Funky grandma buffs, elder pledges & dragon mechanics 😂 |
Number 8 - AFK Journey – Where Heroes Level Without Even Trying ⚔⚡
This little slice of heaven lets you jump between multiple heroes effortlessly, collecting loot while brushing teeth / waiting on laundry. Seriously smooth art direction, deep class customization plus solid passive skill trees made us forget there's also PVE and PVP battles too (that happen even while AFK).
The surprise hit by Lilith Games didn't try hard... because everything already works perfectly anyway!
---Number 7 - Tapper 2048 – Because Beer Sells Itself ✅🍺
- Honestly I only installed bc beer tap sounds are strangely soothing
- Purchase taps, pubs, breweries – watch coins pour in like actual beer (gross analogy but you know it works!)
- Irrational urge hits you to "tap for bonus tips," but like... why did that become my entire Saturday evening
Wait, So…Is Clash of Clans Incremental or Idle?
Short answer?Meh kinda maybe... with limitations. Long version: You know CoC's great right? Base builds every 6 hrs, resources gather slow-like but here's thing...
- It leans more towards **strategy and social elements** than core "incremental automation."
- The passive income part does work semi-idle-wise but...
- To truly benefit in clan battles / troop progress, active log-ins = must-have!
