what is Gradation?

Solve puzzles and progress through floors by interacting with glowing squares in this idle sci-fi game.

Gradation challenges you to reach the fourth floor by navigating puzzles involving glowing squares. The game blends idle and puzzle elements with a sci-fi theme, though it performs best outside of browsers.

It sits in the Idle / Numbers / Sci-Fi / Puzzle 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.
