what is Crank that clicker?

Click to crank a cog and buy upgrades in this minimalist incremental game inspired by Playdate.

Damage the crank of your Playdate by repeatedly clicking to generate resources. Use these to purchase buildings and upgrades that enhance your progress. The game focuses on simple, repetitive clicking with a minimalist design.

It sits in the Numbers / Minimalist 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.
