IGTAP FAQ

Short, sourced answers to the questions players ask before and after buying IGTAP.

What does IGTAP stand for?

IGTAP is short for "an Incremental Game That's Also a Platformer", which is the game's own subtitle. The I is Incremental and the P is Platformer, and the game really does need both halves.

Full name explained

Is there still a free demo?

The Steam demo was delisted when the game launched on September 21, 2026, because demo saves do not carry into the full game. A free browser build is still playable on galaxy.click, but it cannot save progress.

Demo and free version

Is IGTAP on mobile or Xbox?

No. It shipped for Windows and Linux on Steam only. There is no iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation or Switch release, and the mobile download pages advertising one are not from the developer.

Platform answers

How much does IGTAP cost?

It is $9.99 on Steam with a 10% launch discount that brings it to $8.99 until October 6, 2026. Regional pricing differs, for example £7.19 in the UK.

Price and platforms

Why did my double jump disappear?

That is the omni-dash upgrade. It turns your dash into an all-direction dash and takes the double jump away. The double jump comes back later, and only 2.9% of players have the achievement that proves it.

Omni-dash explained

Where is the official Discord?

The launch announcement points to discord.gg/WQM2dyQxHt, which the studio uses for mods, skins, multiplayer talk and bug reports. This site does not run a server, forum or comment section.

How to report bugs

Is IGTAP an idle game or a platformer?

Both, and you cannot skip either half. Every course is a timed platforming challenge, and your best time becomes the multiplier your clones keep earning while you are away.
