Cookie Clicker

Cookie Clicker lives up to its name: it's a cookie-earning clicker. The game is considered one of the first in its genre and in many ways created it. Each cookie is bought for the previous one, so the first purchase requires patience, and then the process speeds up on its own. Cursors, grandmothers and factories form a whole production chain. Once you open the game once, it's easy to come back to it a month later and see that production has been going on all along. It all starts with one click on a big cookie, but gradually grandmothers, farms, factories and other buildings come into play, baking sweets themselves. Then you unlock upgrades, amplifiers and golden cookies that randomly appear on the screen. Improvements change the rules: some increase clicks, others increase income, and others open up new categories of buildings. At the same time, you can abandon the game at any time - the cookies will be baked even without the player. The numbers grow quickly, and soon the count reaches billions and trillions, and with them the appearance of the page changes. Some of the mechanics are about waiting: some projects require patience, and some just run their course. The community has long come up with its own goals and records, and some players collect collections of rare events. The re-release added conveniences such as faster counting. The re-release on Steam brought updates to the save system and additional features that were not present in the browser version. Updates continue to be released, and the community is eagerly searching for hidden events. For anyone who likes to watch numbers grow, this kitchen will be addictive for a long time.
