The best strategy is to write a helper function in the console to click for you. Then invest heavily in the DVDs, DVD bounce rate, stimulation per bounce, and general SPS increases. I reached several quintillion stimulation, at which point I was offered to purchase "go to the beach" for 2 million. This ends the game and plays a relaxing beach video. You too can get to the beach in just 5 minutes.

for people that don't want to click a lot, paste in "setInterval(() => document.querySelector('.main-btn').click(), 20)" into the browser console, clicks 50x per second for you :)

Speed-ran the game using this (well, I injected jquery first to select the element using $() because I'm an absolute Baboon) in about 45 seconds, spam clicking all the upgrades, and clicks stopped going up after hitting "342,044,125,797,992,850,000,000,000,000 stimulation" with 10k clicks per second. What a ride. Love the implied commentary on our over-stimulated lives!

I envy your rig - mine glitched a lot to get it in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-J0ppP-H9s

The real hidden gem here is the hilarious 40 minute mermaid-themed true crime podcast parody that you'll only hear a portion of if you progress quickly. As far as I can tell, it's fully custom-made for this game? Can't find any references to the characters online. https://stimulation-clicker.neal.fun/ sounds/true-crime.mp3 - it's hosted on Cloudflare, but even so I don't want to cost OP significant bandwidth, so join…

Was the mukbang also custom?

Yes, the actor has a credit at the end.

By un-disabling the stock market buy and sell buttons, I was able to buy even when I didn't have enough money (stimulation), and I was also able to short-sell shares. So funny!

Isn't cookie clicker one of the earliest? https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

I feel like Progress Quest from 2002 is the spiritual predecessor of the clicker genre: http://progressquest.com/ In that it distills the game mechanic of “make number go up” into a simplistic form. It just lakes the clicking. PS, whenever I relapse and play too much World of Warcraft, I play some Cookie Clicker as a cleanse to remind myself of the fundamental pointlessness of the whole endeavor. Great game.

Cookie Clicker is indeed eye opening.

I think it is one of the few games that "changed my life" in the sense that by getting addicted to it for a few days, it made me see Cookie Clicker in every platform that tries to waste my time.

I remember when I first heard about it and I naively thought that such a simple game was silly and in now way could not be addictive, but I let myself play it for a while and it really changed the way I see games.
