The Everlasting Allure of Incremental Mobile Games
If you've spent more than five minutes on a phone lately, chances are — yeah, your thumb's stuck scrolling some app with pixels and upgrades in the name of productivity or fun. But hold up: incremental mobile games in 2024 are less like boring clicks and closer to dopamine-spewing power-ups disguised as time management tools — or worse, creepy experiences that don't let go... easily.
