    Just spent 5 mins on that, only thing I can gather is you're supposed to click the big cookie on the left. But apart from a counter clocking the number of times you've clicked it, nothing else happens?

    i clicked, but it didn't click with me. anwyay, i wasn't able to pick any of those.

    edit: chris, little cookies fall, once you start clicking the big one. i've tried to pick'em but couldn't.

    My cookie production is now up at 712,385.4 cookies/second, and I'm heading for the first billion-cookie bonus... This is like crack.

    I tried to resist. And failed.

    For those who've not worked it out yet. Clicking the cookie on the left produces cookies, when you produced enough you can buy things from the store on the right hand side, which then slowly starts to automatically produce cookies for you as well. Then you can buy power ups which increase their productivity in various ways.

    It shouldn't be addictive, but it really is. :-)

    Oh no, and I had so much planned for today too!

    I ran it in Internet Explorer earlier and got it up to producing about 1300 cookies a second. Then I went for a bikeride for 2? hours and when I came back I had 1.3 million cookies. Then I bought a "timemachine" (which was 1 milloin then - it appears there's been an update) but nothing happened...well, except for the browser crashing. Everything was lost. Bummer :(

    ...I've now started again...but in Chrome this time. ;)

    Current cost of a time machine (have 20) is a cool 2,020,560,154...

    Got the first of the 9,999,999,999 +10% cookies, two to go...

    There's already a speccy game that offers just as much fun:

    I wondered how you'd done that, then noticed you were running a newer version. A quick save and refresh and I had more power-ups available and the cost of stuff had gone down.

    I am running the same version as gorski and I don't see many of those power-ups. Eg, he has 6 click upgrades (and 1393.8 cookies per click) whereas I have 3 upgrades (and 8 cookies per click) with no click upgrades in the store. It tells me I have 33/41 upgrades and I can see four new ones with the next cheapest at 40 billion for +10% cookie production. The most expensive one I can see is 100 billion and gorski's only collected 171 billion total so I can't see these three click upgrades costing more than 40 billion each?? Either it's time unlocked or he's keeping upgrades from previous versions.

    But I disagree with his proportions so I think I will catch him anyway :) A bit surprised you don't have any clickers, especially at 1300+ per click gorski.

    The power ups appear when you purchase more clickers or other classes of cookie production. Ive got 70 clickers and 5 power ups.

    yah I played it for a while, got some farms and factories but then got bored
    interesting how such a retarded concept keeps the interest for so long,
    RPG's dont have to be set in medieval times with magic, or even have a story, you can just make it about cookies !!
  • AndyCAndyC
    edited August 2013
    The click upgrades come from buying lots of clicks and the newer version seems to have an option to sell them again, which is perhaps what gorski did....

    would be especially apt if he had a follow-up called 'Why The F*** Did I Just Spend A Whole Afternoon Glued To That Pointless Game, I Hate You Dunny!!'

    (In fact I think he did)

    Great link, it's been running in the background all day. Got loads of cookies now. However, from an Ethical standpoint I have not clicked the child labour or sweat shop factory upgrade options.

    However, I know for a fact that this game is putting my processors though strain. Because the fans go crazy when ever it is displayed in my browser. My guess, it this may have a small effect on my leccie bill bill given it's been running all day.

    I thought it might be a good stress test as well but my CPU is only running at 1% with the odd jump up to 3% so nothing to worry about there. (That's with 50 of everything except time machines (34) and 35 out of 41 upgrades producing 14,693,394 CPS)

    101,779 cookies per second and capitalism is getting boring, hopefully the sequel will involve living on a commune and baking cookies in exchange for sexual favours.

    After I'd begun again from scratch last night, I reached a point where I got about 12 million cookies per second, and I only needed two achievements (last one I bought cost 50 billion), but since it was time to go to bed I shut down the browser - thinking that was fine as it autosaves every two minutes...but no - it wasn't. All progress is lost.

    It was fun (in its own stupid way) while it lasted, but I've had enough now. Not going back to it. :lol:
