Idle Gumball Machine is an incremental clicker game. I am not sure why 'idle' is in the title, this isn't an idle game whatsoever! You need to be clicking to progress, otherwise the progress is going to be EXTREMELY slow if not impossible. The game is very short, but insanely satisfying. The style and the music is pretty unique and there's a little nonsensical story to go with it. Progress is constantly and steady, you never really stall and there are no true prestige system where you reset and need forever to get back to your previous state, it takes the matter of a minute to go back to your same upgrades! The game is nothing revolutionary, sure, but it kept me engaged from start to finish! Overall, a fun little incremental clicker game. Worth it on sale! (Because it's 2 hours long.)

About This Game
Plinko-style INCREMENTAL game. Shoot gumballs at gears and buy upgrades to make bigger and bigger numbers until you break the game! Short, sweet, relaxing, and addictive!
What players are saying
The full game takes much further what I tried months ago in the demo, with a progression that isn’t quite as fast, but it’s interesting to see how factors are added that cause the numbers to grow exponentially. And, well, that’s it: an incremental clicker game with Plinko-style physics. Note that, as far as I got at least, you can’t automate it. It won’t blow your mind, but it’s a nice way to kill some time with something in playing in the background.

Very fun! Enjoyed the playtest and this is basically the same thing. Happy to get it 30% off, full price is maybe a little much for how short it is. Would love some new content! But still a good time with well made art and a very cute style.
