Synergism

Synergism is an incremental game mainly developed by programmers Psuedonain2 and KhafraDev. First released on the web gaming portal Kongregate on May 1, 2020, Synergism mainly focuses on the interaction between the numerous resources available to the player, resulting in a highly-tuned experience with a focus on procedurally unfolding new content as the player progresses.

Gameplay
Synergism is highly complex; with over 270 achievements and 20 unique resources, it is one of the largest incremental games in active development, often taking months to reach the end of current content.

The player first begins only with access to Coins, Coin Buildings, Accelerators, and Multipliers. Once the player earns 1016 Coins, they can Prestige to earn Diamonds, unlocking Crystals and Accelerator Boosts, as well as access to Challenges, which provide rewards for completing Prestiges under penalizing circumstances. When the player earns 10100 Coins, the player can perform a Transcension, unlocking Mythos and Mythos Shards. After earning 10300 Mythos Shards, the player can perform a Reincarnation, which unlocks Particles. Finally, once the player completes the tenth challenge, they can Ascend, which unlocks even more resources.

As the player progresses through prestige layers, they will unlock access to other tabs such as Research, Talismans, the Anthill, and Corruptions. Additionally, many of Synergism's layers revolve around time; throughout a playthrough, the player unlocks many ways to manipulate both the global speed of the game and the speed at which they progress though an Ascension. Late game content involves collecting Wow! Cubes, which provide numerous buffs only obtainable by Ascending under harsh conditions, and performing the Singularity, which resets the entire game whilst both buffing and nerfing certain aspects of the game — in return, the player unlocks access to Golden Quarks, as well as premium upgrades which greatly speed up early layers.

Like many other incremental games, Synergism has no real ending or ultimate goal for the player to accomplish, the only goal being reaching the current endgame content.

Trivia

 * Many of Synergism's assets are hand-made and are thus cartoonish and crude. In Version 2.10.2, Synergism receieved an Iconography update, which heavily improved the quality of these assets.
