Gameplay

[edit]

In Stimulation Clicker, the player starts with a button instructing players to click it.[1][2] Each click earns them one Stimulation Point, and they may spend their points on upgrades to gain more points.[3] Themed around overstimulation, upgrades include a true crime podcast, gameplay footage of Subway Surfers, and DVD screensaver logos that move across the screen.[1][4] Once the player purchases every upgrade, they unlock an end credits scene.[5] The player's progress cannot be saved.[4]

Developed by Neal Agarwal, the creator of The Password Game (2023) and Infinite Craft (2024), Stimulation Clicker was released on January 6, 2025, for his website, neal.fun.[6]

Reception

Multiple reviewers found the game chaotic.[3][4][7] Kris Holt of Engadget, likening it to Clickolding, described Stimulation Clicker as a "funny, bruising commentary" on how websites keep users engaged,[4] while Maddy Myers of Polygon felt it was a "terrifying art project".[1]
