About Planet Clicker

Developed by Coltroc, the creator of Candy Clicker, Planet Clicker is a multi-stage incremental game that challenges players to scale an energy-based economy across the solar system. Unlike standard idle games with a single upgrade tree, this title features a tiered progression system where unlocking a new planet fundamentally shifts your production output to a drastically higher scale.

The Planetary Scaling System

Progression in Planet Clicker is strictly gated by massive energy milestones. Reaching a new planet provides a completely new shop interface and renders your previous infrastructure obsolete:

Earth (0 to 1 Million Energy): The early game relies heavily on manual clicking and low-yield passive structures like Campfires and Windmills. The sole objective here is to brute-force your way to the 1 Million energy threshold to escape Earth's slow economy.

Mars (1 Million to 1 Trillion Energy): Unlocking Mars creates a massive paradigm shift. You gain access to Nuclear Power and Alien Technology. The base energy yields on Mars are so high that returning to Earth to buy legacy upgrades becomes mathematically inefficient.

Venus (1 Trillion+ Energy): The endgame tier. Venus introduces hyper-scaling upgrades like Lava processing and the ultimate mechanic: Future Technology. Reaching Venus requires fully optimizing your Martian passive income to bridge the enormous 1 Trillion energy gap.

ROI Optimization and Snowball Strategy

To overcome the massive planetary paywalls, players must optimize their Return on Investment (ROI). A common beginner trap is hoarding energy for the highest-tier upgrade available. In incremental games without a prestige multiplier, hoarding severely limits your compound growth.

To scale rapidly, employ a constant reinvestment strategy: continuously purchase the cheapest available passive upgrades to maximize your Energy Per Second (EPS). Active clicking (boosting your Click Power) should only be utilized in the first few minutes of arriving on a new planet to establish baseline capital, after which all resources must be funneled into passive generators.

Engine Constraints: Single-Session Management

Because Planet Clicker originates from the Scratch engine framework, it lacks browser localStorage capabilities. The game features zero offline progression or save states. Refreshing or closing your browser tab will instantly wipe your entire planetary empire.

Consequently, Planet Clicker must be treated as a single-session speedrun. To successfully reach Venus, you must keep the browser tab active or running in the background, allowing your automated generators to farm the trillions of energy required uninterrupted.
