What if completing a platforming level could generate resources automatically, even after you stopped playing it? IGTAP, short for an Incremental Game That’s Also a Platformer, combines precision jumping with an incremental upgrade system. You guide a character through obstacle courses, earn power based on your performance, and use that power to purchase improvements. The game does not have a traditional storyline or dialogue-driven campaign. Instead, progression focuses on mastering movement, unlocking new areas, and developing an automated production system.
Each course contains platforms, gaps, spikes, and other obstacles that require accurate movement. Your objective is to reach the finish as quickly as possible. Completing a course generates power, measured in watts, while faster completion times increase your earnings. The game records your best performance and allows clones to repeat that route automatically. These clones continue producing resources while you explore other areas or attempt to improve your previous records.
Power acts as the main currency, allowing you to expand production and unlock additional movement techniques. Improvements can increase your earnings directly or make it easier to complete difficult courses.
The main gameplay features include:
IGTAP features several interconnected platforming areas rather than a conventional sequence of story missions. Some courses require movement abilities that must be purchased before they become accessible. As you unlock new techniques, you can return to previous stages and discover faster routes.
The game also includes more difficult B-side challenges for players who want to test their movement skills. These optional courses require greater precision and understanding of the available abilities.
Progression creates a connection between platforming performance and resource management. Completing a difficult stage provides additional opportunities to earn power, while improving an existing route makes your clones more productive. You can concentrate on expanding your automated income or practice individual courses to reduce completion times. Both approaches contribute to unlocking more upgrades and reaching new areas.
