Infinite Grind - [Satirical Idle Gacha Game]
The Infinite Grind TM is the ultimate simulation of modern gaming's darkest monetization patterns, all packed into one "convenient," totally free experience! It's basically a clicker/idle/incremental game, with minor placeholder cosmetics.
Features:
- Gambling! Spin wheels, pull slot machine levers, and scratch virtual lottery cards.
- Loot boxes! Open meticulously designed mystery boxes for useless cosmetic thrills.
- Subscriptions! Manage a fake wallet, buy imaginary credits, and sign up for purely detrimental subscriptions.
- Restarting! Throw all your progress away just so you can do it all over again... but slightly faster.
- Annoying! Enjoy a scrolling satirical ticker and intrusive (but completely fake) ad overlays.
Disclaimer: Project was created with AI.
Models used: Claude opus 4.8, Gemini 3.1 pro with Antigravity agents harness. Tech stack: React, TS, Vite, Zustard, Framer Motion, Cavas, and vanilla css.
Still new to game dev and itch.io so I appreciate any constructive feedback positive or negative! Excited to publish the rest of my recent prototypes soon (have some more complex roguelikes in the pipeline).
If you are an digital artist and want to work on something with me I would love to collaborate!

A little gameplay, a lot of ranting (about gambling) ;)
Wow thank you for making a video, I appreciate the feedback. Working on a firefox linux start button fix right now, some redesign for the column problem (originally designed for mobile), and a bit more gameplay elements. The rant was great, my partner and I listened while doing some chores haha. You totally hit the nail on the head, I have been watching a lot of coffeezilla videos recently about csgo gambling and sports gambling websites and just thinking about how predatory the industry is right now and how much power it has. Again, really cool to watch a video of someone playing my game, it's a first for me.
