all updates for A-Z Inc

De-AI Update • 2026/06/18 June 18, 2026

For the last update I initially just meant to finish the restyling with the help of Claude. Instead, I played around too much with the AI and I ended up adding some poorly thought features.

Now the game is simplified and reflects the original better in terms of game loop, keeping just a couple of low-impact new features such as Stats and Achievements.

What's New in AZInc

Achievements System

Track your progress with 15 unlockable achievements, each granting a permanent generation bonus. From your very First Click to becoming a Veteran with 10 prestige resets, there's always a new milestone to chase. Highlights include:

• The Whole Alphabet -- Unlock letter Z
• Full Orchestra -- Have all unlocked letters generating at once
• Speed Demon -- Unlock Z in under 5 minutes
• Click Master -- Click 1,000 times

View your earned and locked achievements in the new Achievements panel, along with your total bonus percentage.

Challenges

Put your skills to the test with five unique challenge runs, each imposing a specific restriction in exchange for a permanent generation multiplier:

• Manual Labor -- Reach Z without auto-upgraders (+20%)
• Base Rate -- Reach Z without multiplier upgrades (+15%)
• Minimalist -- Reach Z with a max of 10 levels per letter (+25%)
• Sprint -- Reach letter M in under 2 minutes (+10%)
• Unstoppable -- Reach Z without pausing any letter (+15%)

Start a challenge from the Challenges tab, and abandon it at any time if things aren't going your way.

Prestige

A new layer of progression. Prestige resets your letters but preserves your upgrades, and rewards you with Glyphs based on your progress. Each Glyph grants a +5% generation bonus, giving you a stronger start on every subsequent run.

Statistics

A dedicated Statistics panel now tracks your career across runs:

• Total time played and current run time
• Total clicks and letters generated
• Letters unlocked and prestige resets
• Fastest Z unlock time
• Current and best scores

UI Overhaul

• Tile flip animation -- Letter tiles now flip to reveal a detailed back side with per-letter options and stats.
• Hover tooltips -- Hover over buttons and elements for contextual explanations.
• Tabbed settings panel -- Settings, Stats, Achievements, and Challenges are now organized into tabs within the options modal for quick navigation.
• Vowel synergy indicator -- A visual cue when all vowels are active and the synergy bonus is in effect.
• Achievement notifications -- A pop-up notification appears when you unlock a new achievement.
• Number format options -- Choose between Standard, Scientific, and Engineering notation.
• Visual polish -- Updated styling across the board, including new button styles, improved layout, and cleaner typography.
