what is BASIC?

A minimalist incremental game featuring an endgame called The Shard Temple.

Progress through layers and upgrades in this basic incremental game, currently featuring the Shard Temple as the endgame goal.

It sits in the Idle / Prestige / Minimalist / Sci-Fi corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
