This was the first in a series of mindless clicker games which became quite a popular genre unto themselves. I downloaded one on Android called "exponential idle" which was quite a fun diversion.
- karmakaze 4y agoMy favorite was/is Universal Paperclips[0] though not so bare-bones the farther you get into it, and it goes a long long way. [0] https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips
- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoI really like the kittens game: https://kittensgame.com/ui/ https://kittensgame.com/ui/
- contravariant 4y agoSimilar in this vein, A Dark Room https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/ https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/ Though it is more of a story than the kittens game, not unlike the paperclip maximizer.

- yegle 4y agoYep, I think it's called idle game, although wiki listed a different name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_game The game "Exponential Idle" is actually a very well made idle game in this category and I recently started playing it (with a lot of guilty pleasure!). For one, its auto-upgrade system allows you to specify an expression to maximize the earning on the currency in the game.
- Synaesthesia 4y agoI found an expression online that works extremely well and basically "won" the game for me. I did have quite a bit of fun with it prior to that. I downloaded one other such game called "Bitcoin billionaire" (although there was a cookie based game too). It was pretty fun actually. Amazing how our minds are so easily amused isn't it?
