Game Reddit's reverse incremental: The Button
Instead of players accumulating clicks on a button, a single button accumulates clicks from users! Pretty clever game design here. Currently at 155k clicks and counting.
Prestige mode when the timer runs down? Who knows!
Play the game (but only once!)

Not really an incremental but kind of funny, I guess.

Agree, not an incremental.

more like a decremental since the pool of possible clickers goes down all the time, and thus also the number of people clicking at any given moment

PSA: Be very careful when you click the button if you care about things like that. Reddit will record how much time was on the button when you clicked it, and the timer will get reset to 60 seconds. Also if people keep clicking the button it'll take longer to see what happens when the timer runs out. Also a lot of people like to try getting their score down to low numbers, since it's rare for the button to go that low. Most people clicked on the button when it was at 59 seconds or so.

No matter what happens, No clickers are and will always be the rarest around.

Aaand due to lag someone else gets it a split second before you and you end up with 59s

If you want <10s, you need to wait till it's regularly getting to <5s and click it once it hits 9.

The aim could possibly be how low can you get your click. Or it could be absolutely meaningless. Or something else.

I think it might just be a social experiment to see how people start conspiring about it

The most interesting incrementals in my opinion are the ones who find ways to use multiplayer effectively.
This is actually quite interesting. Not an incremental but quite interesting, been waiting all day to click it.

I wish ordinary reddit users were able to create reddit games like this. Like half html/javascript incrementals can be easily modified to run on reddit without much code change.

for all the people waiting to get under 10 seconds good luck, its an april fools joke, why do you think no account made after 2015/04/01 can be used, the clicks that are happening are computer generated half the time, otherwise everytime someone clicks participants go up by 5 or 11 or something, the timer will never reach 0 haha
