Incremental games have been around for decades, and there are many off-the-wall ones out there. But Scritchy Scratchy’s scratch card theming is original, creative and very satisfying all in one.

What we love: Level up from washing individual dishes for $3 a time to buying dozens of $20 million scratch cards. Everything works with the theme including the retro art and having to manually scratch the cards with your touch screen. But don’t worry! You can buy an auto-scratcher and upgrade the strength of your coin.

Quick tip: Scritchy Scratchy is all about luck, so don’t forget to invest in upgrading to help you level up faster. And though it might seem like a waste to start with, the fan gadget is going to be a real lifesaver as you get further into the game.
