Running it async will prevent the main screen from lagging:

  (async () => {
    const delay = (ms) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

That's one of the things that makes Stimulation Clicker so good, by being exposed to the most extreme version, it helps you identify other engineered attention grabbers in everyday life.

Ran into a bug where a double tap zoomed the page and it broke the game as I could not zoom out again. Unfortunately it does not save the progress in a cookie.

It was a nice shopping trip worth of fun though.
