Incremental games with skill trees
A skill tree gives an incremental game a shape. Instead of buying the next upgrade in a column, you pick a branch, and the order you take nodes in changes how the run plays out. Many of the best short incrementals are little more than one big tree and a reason to fill it.
This list collects every game in the directory tagged skill tree, sorted by our ranking. It updates by itself when a new game gets the tag, so there's no need to wait for a new edition.
Some of these are short games where the tree is everything, like Nodebuster or Snakecremental. Others use a tree as one system among many, like IdleOn. If you want the ones with an ending, start with short incremental games you can finish in a weekend.
