About Cookie Clicker
Cookie Clicker is the legendary idle game created by Orteil in 2013 that revolutionized the incremental game genre. What begins as a simple premise - click a giant cookie to produce cookies - quickly evolves into a complex economy of automatic production, strategic upgrades, and mind-boggling numbers. As you amass more cookies, you'll unlock buildings like cursors, grandmas, farms, and eventually time machines and interdimensional portals to exponentially increase your cookie production. With its quirky humor, surprising depth, and satisfying progression system, Cookie Clicker has captivated millions of players worldwide for years.
How to Play Cookie Clicker
Start by clicking the giant cookie on the left side of the screen to produce one cookie per click. Use your earned cookies to purchase buildings from the right panel, beginning with cursors that automatically click the cookie for you. As you accumulate more cookies, more expensive but powerful buildings become available, dramatically increasing your cookies-per-second (CPS) rate. Purchase upgrades that appear in the store to enhance your buildings and clicking power. Special golden cookies occasionally appear on screen - click them quickly for random bonuses like temporary production boosts or cookie windfalls. The game automatically saves your progress, allowing you to close the browser and return later to find your cookie empire still growing.
Game Controls
Cookie Clicker features simple, intuitive controls across all devices. On desktop, use your mouse to click the cookie, purchase buildings and upgrades, and interact with special elements like golden cookies. On mobile devices, tap the cookie and menu items to perform actions. The game can be played entirely with mouse or touch controls, making it accessible to players of all ages and experience levels.
Game Features
Cookie Clicker offers a deceptively deep gameplay experience with numerous systems and discoveries.
Extensive Upgrade System
The game features hundreds of upgrades that enhance every aspect of cookie production. From simple improvements like reinforced clicking fingers to exotic upgrades like antimatter condensers, each purchase creates satisfying exponential growth. The upgrade system includes synergies between different buildings, creating strategic decisions about which improvements to prioritize for maximum cookie output.
Achievement System and Heavenly Chips
Cookie Clicker rewards dedicated players with achievements for reaching milestones and discovering secrets. The prestige system allows experienced players to reset their game with Heavenly Chips that permanently boost cookie production in subsequent playthroughs.
