Fireworks Incremental
What is Fireworks Incremental?
Fireworks Incremental is an idle game about blasting a magical Dome cast over the land by the Bad Wizard. Each firework explosion earns Booms, which buy new units and upgrades while also wearing the Dome down.
Fireworks Incremental is a 2D pixel art idle game about breaking a magical Dome. The Bad Wizard has covered the land with it, and fireworks are the only thing that can destroy it. Play starts with a single mortar launching fireworks; every explosion produces Booms, the main currency, spent on recruiting units and buying upgrades. Booms also damage the Dome. Buildings can be raised to Tier 2 to unlock new mechanics, and a prestige system rewrites how units interact. Artillerists, Wizards, Jesters and others each behave differently, and three gameplay phases lead to a real ending. The game is in development.
How to play Fireworks Incremental
- Begin with the starting mortar and launch fireworks.
- Collect Booms from each explosion; Booms act as currency and also damage the Dome.
- Spend Booms on recruiting units such as Artillerists, Wizards and Jesters, and on upgrades.
- Upgrade buildings to Tier 2 to unlock new mechanics.
- Choose prestige upgrades that change how units interact.
- Push Booms Per Second past milestones to unlock progression and bring the Dome closer to destruction.

About this game
Read the full developer description
The Bad Wizard has covered the land with a Magical Dome, and only fireworks can destroy it.
You begin with a single mortar launching fireworks. Each explosion generates Booms - your main currency, which you can spend on recruiting new units and buying upgrades. Booms also damage The Dome and you'll have to find your own strategy to destroy it and ultimately defeat The Bad Wizard.
Will you hire dozens of Wizards to invoke Arcane Overload as quickly as you can? Or will you optimize Artillerists' ammo delivery and compression to shoot countless Mortar Barrages and repeatedly fire the Siege Rocket? Or perhaps you'll embrace the chaos of Jesters, Balloons and Lasers?
Forge your own path. Upgrade buildings to Tier 2. Choose your prestige upgrades wisely. And remember...
The Bad Wizard MUST. BE. DEFEATED.
