Top 5 Clicker Games! - or: Top 5 Idle Games! (Best Clicker Games)

Links to all the games in this video (plus some extras!) are deeper in the description!

Clicker games and idle games are among my guilty pleasures of gaming. They're pretty chill experiences that don't take a lot while giving you a really solid illusory feeling of accomplishment, even if they eventually incite an existential crisis.

So since I've spent so much time on these in the past months, I decided to compile a list of my top 5 clicker games! Or should I say top 5 idle games? I dunno, they're used pretty interchangeably...

This list really helps a lot, I fractured my wrist so I kept looking for games that require 1 hand and this is the best list so far yet, I know this video is kinda old, but these games are immense amounts of fun

I gotta say the game I fell in love with the most is Antimatter Dimensions. I think I've been playing nonstop for over 2 months

My favorite, by far, is IdleSword. It's a roguelike RPG where your heroes battle on their own. It's simple enough to learn, but get's more complex as time passes. The way you 'prestige' is by finding magic equipment, which is the only thing you can carry over to your next life. These items are limited, but you can combine them with other items, for a price, to get a magic item for any use.

ingeniousclown, quality of your content is amazing. Actually, i've got your channel at my Recommendations, watched some of your videos without looking at views/subscribers count and was sure that it's a channel with 100k+ subs. Imagine my surprise finding out that's not the case. Keep on doing the stuff you doing, but maybe indirectly advertice your channel (like doing some collabs, going hot on reddit or things like that).
Anyway, I rarely comment, but wish you all the best, your channel definitely deserves much more ;)

Me at the first one on his list "i'm playing that now"

A Dark Room
Definitely check it out if you haven't

I feel like idle games take the reincarnation mechanic from disgaea on steroids.

We actually took our original MMA clicker game and just released a modern take on it. Instead of mindless clicking for hours and hours, over months and even years, we use mini-games to increase the attributes of the fighter. It's just on iOS now but working on Android version at the moment. MMA Fight Club 2.

I only stopped playing Clicker Heroes when I broke my phone by dropping it, while playing.

hooray someone agrees with me with the awesomeness of spaceplan!

[calebwatson]

Adventure capitalist is amazing as well!

[dalemonshateu]

I’m disappointed there was no mention of trimps, it may not be a clicker game, but it is definitely the most advanced idle game I’ve played

[ImInWITPRO]

Awesome video, already played most and I have to agree that they are addictive little time consumers.

I really don't understand why you sound and are more professionals then most professional or lager you-tubers so congrats on being on of the only review Chanel or what you prefer to be called that are amusing.

Cookie Clicker... YOU FORGOT COOKIE CLICKER!!!

Firstly, I agree with Spaceplan HUGELY. It is a brilliant game that throws twists at you quickly, and has special additions that change the genre altogether while still keeping it Idle and Clicker.

Secondly, about Egg Inc. You are kinda hating, but I understand. It's quite bad. Especially silos. Annd the mobile market was pretty crap as well.

But there is a GOOD mobile game - and this will waste your life - which is possibly better than some PC incremental games (though not spaceplan, it really cannot be beat) . Space Melons. The brilliant storyline and actually decent graphics (I'm not hating on spaceplan, I'm hating on crap games) combined with the plethora of upgrades and slight intervals make you keep playing. It contains an ending, through the 64 loops or prestiges you have to go through. Each took me around 2 hours each in realtime to a day or two to actually finish the loop, so that can keep you going for several months. I am only on the eighth one, and I am already experiencing "Clicker Crisis"

[cytrussToo]

I was hoping you would put spaceplan on this list. Its truly my favourite clicker game

[amandaegeskovhald]

Idle Evolution definitely need to be on an updated version of this list. Great idle-ish type of game based on science! :)

As a clicker/idle game connoisseur, you missed at least mentioning some of the most important and widely known of the genre.
This includes:
-Cookie Clicker (pretty much the original clicker game out there)
-AdVenture Capitalist (One of the best, most well known idle games out there)
-Tap Titans (While being mobile only, it has one of the largest fan bases that I have seen out there)
-I'm sure there are some that I haven't put here that I've forgotten during the 2 minutes that I'm writing this.

I'm not sure why you have such a precedence against mobile game in this video, but there are a TON of tap/click/idle games on mobile. I feel like it's where most people play these games. I also feel like there are more games (from this genre) on mobile than there are on the computer. If you don't believe me, just check the app store, make sure your on Android because more people put their games there than on Apple. (However, both AdVenture Capitalist and Tap Titans are on both Android and Apple)
