Few video games have precisely captured the expertise of on-line mind overload like Stimulation Clicker, a brand new free browser recreation by Neal Agarwal (creator of Infinite Craft, The Password Sport, and extra). It is a clicker recreation within the model of Banana or Common Paperclips, nevertheless it’s additionally a parody of clicker video games and the entire idea of clicking as a dopamine launch.
Stimulation Clicker begins off merely sufficient, with only a tantalizing button in the midst of your browser display that claims “Click on Me.” Clicking on it earns you one Stimulation level; clicking it a second time earns you one other Stimulation level. When you’ve acquired 3 Stimulation factors, you’ll be able to unlock a DVD brand that may bounce round your browser display. It’s possible you’ll keep in mind watching this display as a senseless technique to move the time as a bored teenager. That is like that. But it surely’s additionally a lot extra.
Quickly, Stimulation Clicker transports the participant past the bored pastimes of ’90s youngsters and into the senseless loop of a present-day web scroll feed. The extra Stimulation factors you earn, the extra you’ll be able to fill your display with bullshit. This consists of (however just isn’t restricted to): lofi beats to calm down/research to. Slime movies. ASMR. An audio feed of a real crime podcast a couple of useless lady who labored as a mermaid in a kind of resorts the place girls put on mermaid tails (besides she additionally possibly had precise gills? I’m undecided, as a result of I couldn’t hear the remainder of the podcast over the opposite movies that I started to unlock).
Stimulation Clicker will get shockingly tough after some time attributable to how overstimulating it turns into. The extra extras you unlock, the tougher it’s to take care of having the app open in any respect. Not a lot a recreation, in the long run, as a terrifying artwork venture. Congratulations to Agarwal on completely rattling my mind and probably utilizing up all of the dopamine I had reserved for my workday.
