About
The Cookie Clicker, or Cookie Game, as it is sometimes known, is an experimental online game where the player’s goal is to create as many cookies as possible. You start out with only a large cookie on the site, and obtain cookies by clicking it. The player can buy upgrades, such as Grandmas and more pointers, to make even more cookies.
Origin
The Cookie Clicker was made by game-maker Orteil in August of 2013. The game quickly became very popular, especially with users on Tumblr.
Spread
Due to the game’s exponential progress, screenshots of game progress and cookie counts became popular on Tumblr and Reddit, as well as many other forums. A Cookie Clicker Wiki has been created by fans, as well as fanart. The littlecookieclickerthings single-topic blog has been created and focuses on the Cookie Clicker fandom. A color palette blog for the game is also up and running.
