World in Progress

Welcome to World in Progress! This is a simple little tycoon-inspired clicker game about transforming a tiny planet from an uninhabitable molten rock into a lovely home for all sorts of creatures, all while dealing with the consequences of frequent world-ending asteroids. Made in 96 hours for the GMTK 2026 Game Jam.

Controls:

• Move camera with middle mouse click and drag
• Zoom with scroll wheel
• Left mouse button for everything else!

How to Play:

Start by clicking on your planet to get DNA. Then, spend that DNA on different organisms. When the asteroid comes closer, try to save some DNA for after the extinction event! Asteroids will  remove all organisms from the planet, but any DNA you have saved will stay intact.

As you buy more creatures, your planet will move through several different stages, until eventually becoming fully green with large bodies of water like Earth. Plants and animals will automatically be placed on land, while fish live in the water, and they will try to stay in these areas as best they can.

To see more information about each organism, simply mouse over their icon in the shop. You win the game when you reach 100,000 DNA!

Known Issues

The actual goal is 100,000 DNA, not 200,000! I updated the goal but not the text 😔 There is also an issue with the continue button at the end of the game currently not working. Sorry about that!
