Best Clicker Games to Play in 2024

Clicker games are a great way to pass the time and they're perfect for gamers who want something less serious to play. If you're looking for the best clicker games to play in 2024, check out this list of my top 20 choices!

Let me be clear, not all of these games were released recently. They made this list because they are some of the most well-reviewed clicker games that are still available to download and play in 2024. Though some are more recent, others - like Cookie Clicker - are significantly older.

Alongside a short description of the game, I've listed its release date and the platforms that it's available on. Every one of these clicker games can be played on PC, but some can also be played on Android and iOS devices.

Without further ado, here is my list of the best 20 clicker games to play in 2024:

Top 20 Clicker Games to Play in 2024

20. Touch Some Grass

Have you been told to "Go touch some grass"? Well, now you can! You don't need to leave your home to enjoy interacting with some green stems. Customize your in-game hand, blow up areas of your grass, or just spend a weird amount of time touching artificial grass that looks and moves like real grass. That's it. That's the game. I guess next time you want to tell someone to touch some grass, you could just send them the link to the game?

18. Banana

It's... a game where you click a Banana. I really can't tell you anything more than that. You click the banana, and get a special banana every three hours to grow your collection. People are bananas for the game, if the number of people playing on Steam is anything to go by.

Recently, someone bought a special golden banana from this game for $1,390.

14. Outpath: First Journey

Outpath: First Journey is the prologue to the game "Outpath." This experimental clicker base-building game allows you to craft, gather items, and manage your resources to build your base and buy new islands for expansion! Outpath: First Journey combines the satisfying gameplay of clicker games with the immersive experience of a 3D first-person platformer.

After Outpath: First Journey, you could absolutely go on to play the main game. There isn't much difference in the mechanics - which makes sense because this is the prologue of the game - so you should be able to just continue on to the main Outpath game when you want to.

13. Farmer Against Potatoes

Farmer Against Potatoes Idle is a quirky idle game about an amnesic farmer who wakes up in a mysterious field, only to be attacked by hordes of mutated potatoes. With no one else around, he takes it upon himself to fight back against the evil infestation. There are over 30 upgrades to enhance your stats or debuff the potatoes. The phrase "debuff the potatoes" sounds very strange.

It's very Plants vs Zombies.

10. Bubble People

Bubble People is a point-and-click game where you can click on various items with your mouse to have some fun.

Probably one of my personal favorites on this list, Chillquarium is a cozy and relaxing idle game where you can buy and raise fish in real-time. When you're ready, you can sell them for profit or keep them to earn money through ticket sales. Enjoy customizing your aquarium as you progress from a simple starter tank to your dream setup, filling your collection with rare exotic fish and ultra-rare color variants.

6. Insaniquarium Deluxe

Insaniquarium is the most chaotic aquarium game. Tend to your fish, keep them happy, and they'll reward you with coins and jewels. Use your earnings to buy tank upgrades or egg parts that hatch into different in-tank pets. These pets can assist you by feeding your fish, collecting coins, or even defending your tank against alien invaders. The screen can get a lot busier than Chillquarium, so fair warning.

5. Rusty's Retirement

Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulator perfect for multitaskers. Designed to sit at the bottom of your screen, it lets you manage a thriving farm while working on other tasks. Plant crops and watch Rusty get to work watering, nurturing, and harvesting. Unlock new crops as you progress, from crispy carrots to ripe tomatoes. Use your harvest to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel, a vital robot power source, and sell it to other machine inhabitants to reinvest in expanding your farm. Plus, with Focus Mode, you can slow down crop production so you don't miss anything while you’re busy.

I've covered this game before and it really is a wonderful game to have at the bottom - or side - of your screen. It's nice to have a little farm with bots floating around while you work through your to-do list.

4. Plantera

Plantera lets you build and grow your own garden filled with new plants, bushes, trees, and animals.

The Helpers continue working even when you're not playing, ensuring gold is waiting for you when you return. Keep an eye out for pesky critters that might invade your garden!

A quick note: Searching Plantera often results in getting a lot of results for Terraria. These are two very different games and have nothing in common apart from one of the bosses in Terraria being called Plantera.

3. Cell to Singularity - Evolution Never Ends

Cell to Singularity invites you to tap into the extraordinary tale of evolution in this cosmic clicker game. Once upon a time, over 4.5 billion years ago, life didn't exist in the Solar System. But then, almost in the blink of an eye on the geologic time scale, everything changed.

This is an extremely interesting game with a lot of various bits of science-y goodness floating around. You don't need to understand science to play, though those parts of the game can make you feel a bit out of your depth.
