Incremental games, also known as idle or clicker games, became a cultural phenomenon with the release of titles like Cookie Clicker and Candy Box in the early 2010s. The meme culture surrounding them centers on the absurdity of spending hours watching a digital counter increase and the dopamine rush associated with hitting a new milestone. These memes often depict the transition from a casual player to an obsessed mathematician, calculating the optimal cost-to-benefit ratio for their next upgrade. Whether it is the 'Number Go Up' trope or jokes about clicking through the heat death of the universe, incremental game memes capture the satisfying yet mindless loop of modern idle gaming.
