Free clicker games

What are clicker games

In a clicker game your finger does the earning. Each tap brings in a little, and you spend it on rows in a list: upgrades that make every tap worth more, and helpers that tap for you. The numbers soon run into the millions and keep going, and the little scene on screen grows with them, from a scarf on the needles to a knitted house, or from a crate lemonade stand to a grand juice bar.

The ten clicker games on Kiloo keep your own tapping at the heart of it. Each has a twist that rewards the way you tap: a beat to hit, a sweet spot to hold, a moment to let go, or rows that wait for your finger alone. A steady pace also fills a streak that multiplies what each tap pays. Each game is made of what it is about: packing film on a cutting mat, yarn on birch needles, damp sand on a beach, wet clay on a potter's wheel, or a shoebox theatre full of wooden peg dolls.

Ten clicker games and the twist in each

Three ask for rhythm. In Drum Up the first hit on each tick of the metronome pays double and fills your groove, while hits crammed together become a soft drum roll that pays half. In Popcorn Pop about five shakes a second holds the heat needle in the golden sweet zone, where shakes pay half as much again; shake too hard and the batch scorches with a puff of smoke, costing only your streak and a moment's cooling. In Duck Squeak each squeeze passes the squeak one rubber duck along, a note higher, and once it has gone round the flock they sing a chorus that pays a bonus; a pause of a second and a half breaks the chain.

Three are about knowing when to stop. In Clay Day each tap pulls the pot up a ring: stop on the pencil line for a perfect pot, worth three times one pulled a ring too far, or spin on and it leans, then flops into a smiling lump. In Lemon Squeeze a fresh half pays most at first, then less with every squeeze, so once it turns pale you let go and a fresh one rolls on. In Fold Factory four folds make a paper plane, and one thrown while a gust blows flies long and pays three times as much.

The other four keep something back for you. In Pop Wrap you pop packing bubbles, and the gold rows pay double and are always left for you by the cats and toy steamrollers. Knit Wit knits a stitch with each tap, and its colour rows in bright yarn do the same while Granny waits. In Sand King each tap adds a block to a sandcastle you race to finish before the tide, and its shell rows only you can build. In Piñata Party you whack the piñata until it bursts, and only you can tap up its sweets on the grass, within nine seconds.

Controls, saving and time away

On a phone or tablet, upright or sideways, you tap the stage; on a computer you click it or press Space or Enter. Several count every finger as a tap, while Drum Up, Popcorn Pop, Lemon Squeeze and Clay Day reward one steady finger. Tap or click a row to buy it, with x1, x10 or MAX above the list. The keys 1, 2 and 3 open the tabs, P or Esc pauses and M mutes.

Progress is saved in the browser on your device, and while the game is closed the helpers keep earning for up to two hours. Once a run is worth ten of the game's prizes, such as Gold Stars or Blue Ribbons, you can start over, and each one adds 25% to what you earn, for good. Mistakes are gentle: a puff of smoke or a smiling lump of clay.
