The last few years have seen an influx of clicking games where the aim of the game is to build up a fortune of different items that can buy upgrades that will increase your fortune. No game has done this as well as Cookie Clicker. This game makes you click a large cookie to add to your total, and when you get enough you can buy upgrades to increase the cookie clickage. The more cookies you get the better items you can buy. Even if this game was not the first of it’s clicker genre, it certainly defined it. The gameplay and subject (who doesn’t like cookies) makes this game addictive to many. One word of advice… Don’t anger the Grannies! You have been warned. If you haven’t played it you can find it here.

Commodore Clicker

Based off the old Commodore console (if you can call it that) this game strips down the clicker to its simplest. This is a game for programmers who understand the ins and outs of the old Commodore system. Instead of cookies, this game makes you collect pixels that you can spend on upgrades for the console. The aim is to fill in the screen on the right with the pixels you collect. If you want flashy graphics this isn’t for you, but if you want a thematic clicker based on a classic console with a simple UI, this clicker is for you. If you are such a person, you can play it here.

Idle Web Tycoon

This game puts you in the shoes of a website owner (much like myself) who is struggling for hits on his site (again much like myself). You must keep clicking your site to refresh it and get more hits. Some of the upgrades you can buy are: a tab that refreshed itself, a friend’s computer that reloads 3 times a second. You can also add extra bandwidth for your site to increase the hits, or add more annoying ads to your page to increase the money you get for each hit you receive. I like the theme of this clicker mainly because I know the feeling of trying to get more hits to a site. Give some hits to armourgames by playing the game here.

Cursor 10

Although not a game where you become a tycoon, but can be called a “clicker” in every sense of the word. Cursor 10 gives you 10 cursors that you must use to climb the 16 storeys of the tower. Each cursor has a minute to go as far as it can, before you get another cursor and have to start again. The cursor that ended is now operated by the computer and follows the path you set for it. With each new cursor the old ones should help them to get further up the building. To get a high score you can even click the triangles that appear to gain points. If you like Cookie Clicker I think you will like this game because it involves clicking, but also a bit of logic as well. You can try out Cursor 10 here.
