Been working on this for a while and figured it was ready enough to share. It's a browser idle game — no login, no download, just click and play.

You start with $100 and a single vending machine that sells mints. Stock mints, set your price, make money, buy upgrades. Pretty simple at first but it escalates. You go from worrying about the cost of a single mint to managing a whole empire of machines.

There's a prestige system, 30+ achievements, random events that mess with your business, and the whole vibe shifts as you progress through three phases. Starts feeling like a lemonade stand simulator, ends up somewhere... weirder.

Works on mobile too. Would love to know what you think — especially about the early game pacing. Does it hook you in the first few minutes or does it feel too slow?

I just shipped Snack Machine Singularity, an incremental game that does what Cookie Clicker and Universal Paperclips do—but with vending machines, supply chains, and the IRS.

The hook: You start with $50 and one vending machine. Simple, grounded. Then rent pressure kicks in, competitors wreck your machines, and the game scales from "corner bodega" → "corporate nightmare" → "literally owning snacks on other planets."

Why it's different:

• Real business mechanics — You actually set vend prices and watch profit margins. Supply costs scale with empire size. Rent eats you alive as you grow. It's not just "number go up"—there are actual constraints.
• Destructive events keep pace with you — Fires, heists, vandalism, health department condemnations, alien attacks. The game actively works against you. Early game: one fire ruins your day. Late game: you need insurance strategies.
• 30+ achievements + prestige — Hit milestones, reset for bonuses (Franchise Reset). Offline progress works. The whole thing respects your time.
• Dry humor everywhere — The activity log is the best part. It reacts to everything. You didn't miss much.

What you need to know:

• No account, no download. Browser, free to play. Play Snack Machine Singularity.
• This is MVP. It's solid but early—the leaderboard and logo animations are coming next week.
• It's inspired by Paperclips + Clicker, but honestly steals the best part: the moment you realize what you're actually optimizing for.
