Just saving up for a Large macaron collider: price is 3,999,999,999,000 cookies.

Looks like the most expensive unlocks are the Madeleines, Palets, Palmiers, Sablés: cost 199,999,999,999,999 each.

Edit: wait a sec: Kitten overseers at 900,000,000,000,000.

What a totally pointless ridiculous game.

I'm hooked.

Last night I was "playing" it while playing Battlefield 3.

I've just found this game. Jesus christ. Almost as if the milk is methylamine.

I've decided to try to unlock everything. It's not a time-sapping game unless you stay up all night trying to do it as quickly as possible. I mean you could unlock everything eventually with just 3 clicking fingers.

Anyway, currently producing 1,472,566,509.8 cookies per second. Each click produces 59 million cookies per second.

So it's best to buy as many condensers as you can first?

Well, the problem is that they're so damned expensive that "first" isn't really as "first" as you'd think. But they produce 1m cookies per second from the start. I think my strategy of aiming to buy the most expensive I could seemed sound. So I bought a couple of grannies then 1 of farm, factory, mine, shipment etc. I do think going for 100 condensers makes more sense than wasting money on 100 grandmas (the costs do build up) in terms of investment vs return.

It seemed to me initially that upgrading the auto-clicker, then a grandma or two, then saving for mines was most efficient.

Anyway, if you really get into it, someone has written a cookie clicker optimiser.

Grandmas seem to be the most upgradeable, strangely - they are now producing more than my alchemy labs. They appear to be infinitely efficient.

Well, I've maxed them: 600k a second for 100. The next one costs 117m. At the same time my 52 condensers produce 460m a second. Next one costs 5,732bn. You can do the sums.

Browsing the game code, I found these comments:

//guess what we'e using to save the game?

//that's right
//we're using cookies
//yeah I went there

This is truly bizarre!

Anyone still in?
