The game was released on Steam on its originally announced release date. On August 8, 2021, Orteil announced on Twitter a Steam release of Cookie Clicker, with the planned release date of September 1, 2021. Though the original version was coded in one night, Cookie Clicker is regularly updated. Orteil later released other idle games such as: Idle Game Maker, a tool allowing customized idle games to be made without coding knowledge AdventureQuest Dragons, a mobile game created with Artix Entertainment and NeverEnding Legacy. Bogost has called Cookie Clicker "the logical conclusion of Cow Clicker". Ĭookie Clicker is similar to Cow Clicker, a previously existing idle game created by Ian Bogost. On August 8, 2019, the mobile beta for Cookie Clicker was released for Android devices after a long delay. On October 25, 2018, Orteil launched the game's Patreon page, with the intent to develop Cookie Clicker and other Dashnet games becoming a full-time job. The game has had continual updates since its release, notably the "legacy" update in February 2016 and the "spiritual" update in July 2017. Orteil later wrote that traffic had peaked at 1.5 million hits in one day during August 2013, and by January 2014, Cookie Clicker was still getting a steady 225,000 hits per day. A month after the game's initial release, it had over 200,000 players per day. Written in a single evening, the game was posted in a link on 4chan, and garnered 50,000 players within hours. Julien Thiennot, also known as Orteil, created Cookie Clicker on August 8, 2013. Though the game has no clear ending, it has over five hundred achievements, and users may aim to reach milestone numbers of cookies. The game features geometric growth: the player begins by baking individual cookies, but can quickly reach billions of cookies, and eventually attain duodecillions (10 39) of cookies or beyond. Additionally, seasonal events occur during their respective holidays which come with more upgrades and cookies to unlock. With "kitten" upgrades, the player earns extra production depending on their total achievements. Upon reaching a certain number of achievements, the player unlocks different colors of milk that appear below the cookie. Achievements can be earned by completing various tasks or goals, such as reaching a certain number of total cookies produced, owning a particular number of buildings of a certain type or clicking a certain number of golden cookies. Other game mechanics include "wrinklers" (eldritch beasts which reduce cookie production, but can be popped by clicking them, returning all the cookies it digested with interest), Krumblor the Cookie Dragon, mini games, and sugar lumps (which take 24 hours to coalesce and are used to level up buildings and boost their production rate). However, the number of cookies needed to unlock the next prestige level goes up proportionally with the cube of the level, becoming harder to attain as more are acquired. Prestige levels add a permanent boost (+1% per level) to the rate of cookie production in future play-throughs, while heavenly chips can be spent on a wide variety of prestige upgrades. Golden cookies, small cookies that appear in random locations and fade away after several seconds, appear periodically and grant effects, such as a temporary increase in the rate of production, if clicked before they disappear.Īfter earning a certain number of cookies, the player can 'ascend', losing their progress but earning heavenly chips and prestige levels. The player may also purchase upgrades to increase cookie production for these buildings. Prices increase exponentially, with each asset costing 15% more than the last-purchased asset of the same type. With these cookies, the player can buy additional means of production such as cursors, grandmas, farms, mines, factories, banks, temples, and several more that automatically generate cookies. At first, the player clicks on a large cookie, earning one cookie per click.
