As far as I can tell, you call up the game and start clicking on the cookie like a deranged monkey and then … just don’t stop. > > Am I missing something? I’ve never been very good at the minutia of really complicated video games, but if I’m lacking in the “not having the attention span to click my mouse repeatedly for hours” skill … then I guess I can live with that. Those icons (grandmas, farms, etc.) along the right column are not achievements. They’re purchases that will make cookies for you every second (cookies per second or CPS). Eventually, you never need to click the cookie again. All your cookies will come from production. ---

Then I guess I’m winning, because I ain’t clicking shit. ---

That would take far more than the ten minutes which is far below my attention span. ---

Nah, you only need to click the big cookie a few (50 or 100) times…after that, it pretty much becomes automatic and you never need to click again. Takes much less than 10 minutes. But, meh, I can understand how some wouldn’t see the point/find it stupid/dull/too pointless. ---

I finally got the “just plain lucky” shadow achievement after about 8.5 days total run time. I’m done. ---

> [@Try2B\_Comprehensive](#): > > Made it to 135/135 achievements the other day, woo hoo! But I’m puzzled, the last one was for baking a trillion cookies per second. I’ve seen lots of references to 2000 heavenly chips, but AFAICT there is no achievement for that (though you need a lot of heavenly chips to get to a trillion cps). Does anyone know if the trillion cps achievement is before any frenzies, or after? I’ve definitely gone over a trillion cps with a frenzy activated, but I think my last re-set was just before I reached a trillion cps. As such, I’m on 135/135 upgrades, but it sounds like a need 136/135! I have a feeling the trillion cps achievement is a (relatively) recent addition, and he forgot to add one to the denominator. Anyway, I currently have 3,915 heavenly chips, and I don’t think I’m going to play any more - can’t be bothered. Was a fun game though, and I agree it was/is very addictive. I suspect the creator has moved on to other things and isn’t bothered about putting much more into it. ---

The trillion CPS is an achievement, not an upgrade. I think it became fairly easy to hit once I got over 3000 HC. In any case, I certainly can’t blame you for walking away. Actually I can totally praise you for it. Not sure why it still has a hold on me, but I suspect I’ll do the same soon. I think once I reach Hal’s level (basically clearing the game in an hour) I can imagine quickly losing interest. (unless he adds more upgrades). ---

Perfect description of my last 3 minutes. Although I am currently short 12 upgrades and 3 achievements, so that’s exciting. ::sigh:: why am I still playing this thing?
