Planet Clicker

If you have already played Candy Clicker, you are going to feel right at home with Planet Clicker. Built by the exact same developer, Coltroc, this game swaps out sugary treats for pure cosmic energy. You start on Earth, click to generate power, buy upgrades, and eventually expand your galactic empire to Mars and Venus. With millions of plays on Scratch, it is incredibly addictive and a perfect way to kill some time.

How to Play Planet Clicker

Click the Earth: You start on our home planet. Clicking the globe generates your first bits of energy. It is a humble beginning, but you only need 20 energy to afford your very first upgrade.

Upgrade aggressively: Do not sit on your energy. The shop offers a mix of click multipliers to make your manual clicks stronger, and auto-generators to give you passive income. Grab a few click upgrades first to get the ball rolling, then heavily invest in auto-generators so the game plays itself.

Expand your galaxy: This is where the game gets really fun. Once you grind out 1 million energy, you unlock Mars. Hit a massive 1 trillion energy, and you unlock Venus. Each new planet brings a crazy new tier of powerful upgrades.

Do not close the tab: Just like the original Candy Clicker, this game does not save your progress. If you refresh or close your browser, you are back to zero. Keep the tab open if you want your auto-generators to keep working while you do something else.

The Planets and Their Upgrades

Every time you travel to a new planet, you unlock a completely new shop. The golden rule applies everywhere: always buy the cheapest available upgrade first.

  • Earth: You start with basics like Campfires, Windmills, and Animal Farms. They get the job done early on. Focus on boosting your click power first, then transition to passive income.
  • Mars: Unlocking Mars at 1 million energy is a total game changer. You get access to Solar Oil, Nuclear Power, and Alien Technology. These produce so much energy that your old Earth upgrades will look like absolute jokes.
  • Venus: You need 1 trillion energy to get here. This is the ultimate end-game. You will be buying Iron, Lava, and eventually the legendary Future Technology. Getting that final upgrade means you have essentially beaten the game.

Real Strategy Tips for Fast Progress

1. Buy whatever is cheap right now

The biggest trap new players fall into is hoarding energy for a massive upgrade. Do not do it. Buying the cheaper, available upgrades immediately will snowball your energy production way faster than waiting around.

2. Rush to Mars as fast as possible

Make getting to 1 million energy your absolute top priority. The jump in production on Mars is massive. Once you set up your Mars infrastructure, your energy per second will explode, making the grind to Venus surprisingly fast.
