Cookie Clicker
Cookie Clicker is a popular incremental game developed by Julien ‘Orteil’ Thiennot and released in 2013. It revolves around the simple yet addictive mechanic of clicking on a giant cookie to produce more cookies, which can then be used to buy upgrades and automate cookie production through various in-game assets.
In Cookie Clicker, players start by clicking on a large cookie displayed on the screen, earning one cookie per click. As players accumulate cookies, they can purchase various upgrades and buildings that generate cookies automatically. The game features a wide range of assets, including:
- Cursors: Automatically click for you.
- Grandmas: Produce cookies over time.
- Farms, Mines, Factories: Each type generates cookies at different rates.
- Upgrades: Enhance the efficiency of your clicking and production.
The game’s mechanics are designed to encourage exponential growth; as players progress, they can earn billions or even trillions of cookies. Players also encounter special “golden cookies” that provide temporary bonuses when clicked. Furthermore, Cookie Clicker includes a prestige system where players can reset their progress for permanent upgrades, adding depth and replayability to the experience.
