Shortcode Arcade Crypto Idle Game - Complete Description
Category: WordPress Plugins • Platform: PHP
Shortcode Arcade Crypto Idle Game is an idle clicker game where players grow a virtual crypto mining operation over time. Players click to generate in-game currency, purchase upgrades, and unlock passive income systems.
The game is designed for fair, long-term progression, using a carefully tuned scaling curve combined with a prestige (“Hard Fork”) system to prevent runaway inflation and repetitive upgrade stacking.
This plugin is self-contained and runs entirely inside WordPress, making it ideal for gaming sites, communities, or experimental content.
