Other game mechanics include "wrinklers" (eldritch beasts which reduce cookie production, but can be popped by clicking on them, returning all the cookies it digested with interest), the Cookie Dragon, mini games, and sugar lumps (which take 24 hours to coalesce and are used to level up buildings and boost their production rate). However, the cookies needed to unlock the next prestige level goes up exponentially with the cube of the level, becoming harder to attain as more are acquired. Prestige levels add a permanent boost (+1% per level) to the rate of cookie production in future play-throughs, while heavenly chips can be spent on a wide variety of prestige upgrades.

Golden cookies, small cookies that appear in random locations and fade away after several seconds, appear periodically and grant effects, such as bonus cookies, or a temporary increase in the rate of production if clicked before they disappear.Īfter earning a certain number of cookies, the player can 'ascend', losing their progress but earning heavenly chips and prestige levels.


Prices increase exponentially, each asset costing 15% more than the last-purchased asset of the same type. With these cookies, the player can buy new assets such as cursors, grandmas, farms, mines, factories and banks that automatically make cookies.
