IGTAP: an Incremental Game That's Also a Platformer

The verdict

The most genuinely new idea the genre has had all year — your hands are the production building, and getting faster at the jump IS the upgrade. The first half is a blast; the back half's progression drags hard enough that a fifth of reviewers bail, so go in for the concept, not the endgame.

Hot take

IGTAP is a great platformer wearing a mediocre incremental's skin — and it's still more interesting than 90% of incrementals that nail the math and have nothing to say.
