I think it was just an update. Looks like kitty prices went down to 10% of what they were before. Unless I just didn't refresh the page yesterday.

For some reason I have started with this yesterday and now I tend to leave it open to increase my cookie count while I do other things. I have no idea why I do this, cause there's not realy a game to be played or anything. Also Ratpr just informed me that I ranked up in Cookie Clicker... yes, Raptr is tracking Cookie Clicker stats.

Also the universe of Cookie Clicker is bleak and brutal... child labor, execution of children that don't work hard enough.. and those evil grandmas telling me that it will all be over soon and time travelers talking of a future they don't want to see ever again. :ohdear:

I don't get how you guys get so involved in games like this. I spend like a minute on it before realizing it's just more of the same and quit. I guess people really do like watching numbers go up.

EDIT: Before any misinterprets this as me trying to be :smug:, it's not. I mean I waste plenty of time on video games on my own. I just don't get what it is about these kind of games that can get people so interested in them.

I decided to give Candy Box another try because of this game and I can safely say that it still sucks. Maybe I wouldn't think so if the whole game wasn't focused on tedious and boring "quests".

Question here. For the base 10 achievement, it says to have 10 time machines, 20 portals, 30 labs, and so forth. If I'm already past that point (I have like 20 time machines right now), how would I get that achievement?

You can sell buildings back. Kind of a pain in the butt just for one achievement, though.

I missed that part. :saddowns: I could have gotten that last night then.

I just liquidate my buildings for base 10 and lost about 8 million cps. But it was worth it. My two cats don't seem to be doing poo poo though. I was at 58/72 achievements and watched my CPS as I got two more achievements and it went up by a couple thousand. Also, the amount of milk you get seems to have gone up. My milk is at 235% and it's now raspberry juice.

I have a complaint about the time machine. It only seems to allow you to take the same cookie once. Shouldn't the time machine output grow and multiply as you continue further into the game? I mean you can in theory take the same cookie a near infinite amount of times in the time stream. Therefore having each time machine have a static output makes no sense because you should be able to create billions and trillions of the same cookie multiple times before time collapses.

The point is when you make low number specific achievements days / weeks after people have accumulated far beyond those, that it is pretty poor game design!

Yeah the only way I got the 15 clicks to a million cookies achievement was by starting the game before the achievement or the cookie click counter was implemented. I refreshed my page and I had my then-current cookie bank and CPS untouched, but the game at that point registered that I had done all that in 0 clicks, so I immediately got the achievement.

Oh no. My cookie clicking achievements are incomplete due to the poor design of this intentionally idiotic/casual as hell game. Which is about clicking cookies. God drat the lack of foresight on the part of the individual who tossed this poo poo together in a few hours.

The game gets slower as the cookie counter increases.

I'm at 40 million per second and I'm about to go into work here soon and this is really the only way I can see to cause a measurable level of growth in this game at this point.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

I'm at over 300 million cookies per second and trying to get to 100 time machines. I'm at 86. I went to bed, woke up, and still can't afford the 20 trillion cookies I need for my next time machine. And that's just for number 87.

Progress has slowed down so much that I'm basically needing to just leave the game running on its own for days at a time to make any appreciable changes to my CPS.

Beware, my friends, for the cookie abyss will sap your will to live. There is no game here, no fun. Only cookies. I must have more cookies. I must.
