What Stimulation Clicker is
Stimulation Clicker opens as a single grey button on a white page. No title, no music, no explanation. You click it, a number goes up, and the number buys things — and every single thing you buy adds another moving object to the page you are looking at.
By the time it is done there is a news ticker across the top, several DVD logos bouncing around behind the button, a podcast playing, rain falling and gameplay footage running in the corner. It is a joke about what the internet does to attention, told through the one genre built entirely out of escalating rewards. It also happens to be a properly good clicker.
How to play
- Press Play above. The page really does start that empty — nothing is broken.
- Click Click me. Each click is one stimulation.
- Spend stimulation on the upgrade cards as they appear under the counter.
- Keep going. Every purchase makes the screen louder and the next purchase faster.
The first four upgrades
| Upgrade | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Bouncing DVD | +1 stimulation every time the logo hits an edge — your first income that is not a click | 3 |
| Add Tab Title | Gives the tab a name. “It’s good for SEO.” | 5 |
| Amount Animation | +1 stimulation per click, and the number now flies off your cursor | 10 |
| SPS Counter | Shows stimulation per second, which is when it stops being a joke and starts being a clicker | 25 |
Buy Bouncing DVD first. It is the cheapest thing on the board and the only one that earns while you sit and read the rest.
Three things worth knowing
- Passive beats active, quickly. Clicking is how you afford the first few upgrades and almost irrelevant after that. Buy anything that earns on its own the moment you can.
- Nothing you unlock ever turns off. Every purchase is permanent noise. That is the design, and it is why the late game feels the way it does.
- The tab title upgrade is real. Buy it and your browser tab changes. Half the jokes in this game are like that.
Where it came from
Neal Agarwal published Stimulation Clicker on neal.fun in January 2025 and it went around the internet in about a day. If it is the genre rather than the joke you are here for, Cookie Clicker is the original, Idle Breakout is the cleverest reinvention of it, and Spacebar Clicker is the one that strips the idea back the furthest.

Frequently asked questions about Stimulation Clicker
What is Stimulation Clicker?
Stimulation Clicker is an incremental game about overstimulation. It opens as a single unstyled "Click me" button on a white page. Clicking earns stimulation, stimulation buys upgrades, and every upgrade adds another thing to the screen — a bouncing DVD logo, a news ticker, a podcast, gameplay footage — until the page is doing everything at once. The joke is the mechanic.
Who made it?
Neal Agarwal, who publishes it on neal.fun. It went out in January 2025 and spread quickly because the punchline lands on anyone who has ever had six tabs and a video playing.
What are the first upgrades?
Bouncing DVD (+1 stimulation per bounce, 3 stimulation), Add Tab Title ("it is good for SEO", 5), Amount Animation (+1 per click, 10) and the SPS Counter, which shows your stimulation per second for 25. Bouncing DVD first is the usual advice — it earns while you read the rest.
Is there an ending?
There is a state where everything is unlocked and the page is saturated, which is as close to an ending as an incremental gets. Most people stop before then, which is arguably the point the game is making.
Is it free, and does it need an account?
It is free and there is no sign-up. Press Play and it loads in the page.
Does it save my progress?
Progress lives in your browser, so it survives a refresh on the same device and in the same browser. It does not follow you to another machine.
Why is my computer fan spinning up?
Because by the late game the page is running a video, several animations, a scrolling ticker and a physics loop simultaneously. That is not a bug — it is a fairly pointed demonstration.
Does it work at school or on a Chromebook?
Yes. It is a plain browser page with no plugin and no install. It is heavier than it looks by the end, so an old Chromebook will feel it, but it runs.
