Can you write a full idle incremental game about clicking a square that’ll take about an hour to finish with quick prestige options and a small skill tree

Assistant: Absolutely.[edit | edit source]

Absolutely. Below is a complete, self-contained idle / incremental clicker game you can run in a browser. It’s designed to:

Be playable start → finish in ~45–75 minutes
Center on clicking a square
Include idle generation
Have fast prestige loops
Include a small but meaningful skill tree
Require no external libraries

You can paste this into a single .html file and open it.

🟥 Game Concept — The Square[edit | edit source]

Click the square → gain Units
Buy Generators → passive income
Prestige into Refinement quickly (2–5 minutes per loop)
Spend Insight on a Skill Tree
Final goal: reach 1e12 Units or 10 Prestiges

🧠 Design Notes[edit | edit source]

First prestige: ~2–3 minutes
Midgame loop: ~5 minutes per prestige
Skill tree soft-caps naturally
No hard walls — always something to buy
Designed to be finished, not infinite

🔧 Want Extensions?[edit | edit source]

I can easily add:

Offline progress
Multiple square colors / evolutions
Endgame “Ascension”
Save / load system
Numbers go truly insane (1e100+)
A version that runs in Node or terminal

Just tell me how far you want to push it.
