Imagine a world where the only currency is not money, but..cookies. While that might be something very specific and a bit hard to visualize, we believe we’ve discovered a game that graphically describes a world just like that.
Cookie Clicker is a simple and amazing game created by French programmer Julien “Orteil” Thiennot. You basically start the game by clicking a gigantic cookie on the screen. At first, you might ask yourself “Why can’t I stop clicking on this useless tasty-looking virtual cookie?”. Well, that’s what happened to me. I started clicking the cookie and even though nothing would change on the screen, I kept clicking on it just because it was oddly satisfying.
Just a little bit later, it came a point where I realized that with the cookies I had earned I could buy different stuff (including here an unlimited amount of grandmas) that could help me make even more cookies. At first, I bought some cursors so that the clicking rate would increase, but didn’t skip manual clicking because it was very important at the beginning of the game. Now, I’m here:
Making over 136 million cookies per second and millions of cookies with just a click. That makes me one of the richest men in the cookie world.
Here’s a list of what you can buy from the store:
1- Cursor
2- Grandma
3- Farm
4- Factory
5- Mine
6- Shipment
7- Alchemy lab
8- Portal
9- Time machine
10- Antimatter condenser
The more expensive an item is the more cookie it makes for you. At the top-right corner, you can also see the boosters. Each of them boosts the power of one particular item or just makes you earn more cookies. From time to time, a small cookie appears on a random part of the screen. Clicking on that cookie will give you again, more cookies.
My personal favorite part of the game is the cookie News. The first time I read one of them I couldn’t stop laughing. Take a look at these:
You have to come up with a strategy that will make you earn tons of cookies in a short amount of time. And that’s pretty much the goal of the game. I also like buying tons of different stuff because I like seeing lots of items around making me richer and richer by second. Grandmas all over the place. How cool is that?
