Key takeaways
Makermint turns a written idle game idea into a playable 2D game in the browser in minutes.
Idle games on Makermint are single-player, with offline progress, not live online multiplayer.
Ask for a prestige system, a new upgrade tier, or a new resource and play the update right away.
Idle games, also called clicker or incremental games, run on a simple loop: tap to earn, spend to upgrade, watch the numbers climb. The game keeps progressing even while you're away, and the fun comes from optimising your upgrade path so growth speeds up. Cookie Clicker popularised the loop, and games like AdVenture Capitalist and Idle Miner Tycoon carried it to a wide mobile audience.
A Makermint version of an idle game plays out in your browser as a 2D game. Describe the theme, a mining empire, a space colony, a bakery, and Makermint builds a playable version in a few minutes, with click mechanics, upgrades, and offline progress already in place. Ask for changes in plain language, like a prestige system or a new upgrade tier, and play the updated version right away. When it feels right, publish it and share the link.
How it works
Describe your game
Tell Makermint what kind of idle game you have in mind. A mining empire, a space colony builder, a bakery that bakes while you're away, whatever you picture. Plain English is all it takes.
Makermint builds it
Makermint generates a playable 2D build: click mechanics, upgrade trees, offline progress, and a title screen. It usually takes a few minutes.
Play and iterate
Try the game in your browser right away. Ask for changes in plain language, like "add a prestige system" or "add a new upgrade tier", and play the updated version straight away.
Publish and share
When the game feels right, publish it. You get a link to share with anyone, and you can post it to the Makermint community for others to play and remix.
