Remember the goofy browser clicker games of the mid-2010s? One such game was Cookie Clicker, which developer Playsaurus released back in 2013 and has been working on since. Now, we’ve learned Cookie Clicker is coming to Steam on September 2.
While Cookie Clicker is coming to Steam, the Steam version is coming with a reported eight years of work from original developer Julien “Orteil” Thiennot, and even music from famed Minecraft composer C418.
For those who have somehow not played Cookie Clicker before nor heard of it, the game is literally about creating cookies by clicking your mouse. That’s it – although you can imagine to scale your cookie-clicking enterprise, you have to enlist the aid of friendly grandmoms, cookie factories, and even portals to other worlds.
The new Steam version of the game includes the aforementioned updates like 600+ upgrades, over 500 achievements, mini-games, “heavenly” perma-upgrades, cloud saving, and even the ability to pet your in-game dragon.
Other browser games tend to focus on similar niche concepts or mechanics, like Agar.io which lets you consume other “cell” like entities and become larger in scale. The more you consume, the larger your mass gets, and it gets harder to maneuver a behemoth cell monster.
If you want to play the original browser version of Cookie Clicker, you can do that here too.
