Ever Heard of Clicker Games? You Might Be Missing Out
So, I was poking round online one night—because insomnia hits like a truck if you're stuck thinking about work—and came across this weird little subgenre called "clicker games". No idea what they are? Neither did I. Basically? Think of it like a slot machine you play with mouse clicks and upgrades that make your characters or systems automatically farm points for ya. Super simple but also weirdly addictive.These games used to just sit on the edges of indie dev boards like some forgotten toy in a closet. But lately, clickers have taken off—in a huge way. Especially **multiplayer versions**! People aren’t just collecting imaginary gold coins by themselves anymore. No no—they’re building entire kingdoms, trading, battling AI bosses, sometimes even coordinating full-on clan wars in these mobile apps now. Sounds bonkers?
Well guess what: It’s not. Because I tried out at least twenty clicky-multiplayers over the last year—from tiny solo-developed indie games all the way to fully monetized titles linked with real time strategy (like a simplified Clash of Clans clone—but faster paced). Some made me chuckle at how dumb but engaging the progression could get; others made me drop my phone screaming when another clan wiped out a village I spent two solid hours defending via auto-upgrades.
