Pincremental

The game doesn’t really have anything new to offer in terms of upgrades or progression. The whole basis of the game is to rebirth all your progress away for a next tier of points and all those tiers offer is faster score accumulation and automatically purchasing individual upgrades for a previous tier.

Getting the final tier of upgrades feels extremely unrewarding, getting there the first time mostly just upgrades your base point collection while making you start from the beginning again and after a few of those restarts there is just the upgrades to keep the things you already had automated from previous tiers automated.

The pinball machine itself is too basic to be fun, so you’ll want to focus on the incremental aspects, and those too are a little bit lacking. Each new level of prestige effectively wipes your progress in exchange for a small bonus that will help you get back to where you were faster, but getting back is a pain since you’ll lose all of your automation. It will take many, many resets before you can get a higher level upgrade to make the lower level ones permanent. This leads to the game feeling less like a constant series of progressions and more like a constant series of setbacks. It effectively becomes a game about working a long while to rid yourself of an inconvenience, only for it to almost immediately be reintroduced.
