Nodebuster

Nodebuster is a short incremental about breaking things. The screen fills with nodes, you smash them, and each one drops resources. Those resources buy upgrades from a skill tree that spreads out in every direction, and each upgrade lets you break nodes faster, which pays for the next upgrade sooner. The loop snowballs from there. The goal, as the game puts it, is to become all-powerful, and by the end you are breaking reality itself. The developer, Goblobin, calls it an experimental incremental, and it keeps its focus on that one action of busting nodes. It came out on Steam in August 2024. Since it's short, it works well as a first incremental, or as something to finish over an evening when you don't want a months-long idle game. If you like watching a tiny start turn into a huge amount of power, it's worth a look.
