Just cheat. It'll break the spell quickly.

Also, check out universal paperclips if you haven't already. it has a definite end. You likely won't play more than maybe 10-20 hours.

I've played Universal Paperclips from start to finish 4 times! I loved it. In fact, I loved it so much the last time around that I wanted to have another game "somewhat like it" in the background -- that's where the recent Cookie Clicker tab came from.

I always recommend Universal Paperclips to people who don't like cookie clicker games, because I fell in love with it the first time I tried it (heard of it from the Hello Internet podcast)

Universal Paperclips is the cure for all other clicker games.

Once you've played a fair and truly exponential clicker through a few times you can't tolerate the forced linearity of a pay-to-win clicker app.

Alas, I am OP, the one with the Cookie Clicker tab, and I came to Cookie Clicker after Universal Paperclips: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26469366

I have to say that UP was definitely a much better experience.

Not only did I not realize you were OP, I also didn't realize the original Cookie Clicker isn't the one I played.

Universal Paperclips cures/inoculates against Cookie Clicker 2 easily. Cookie Clicker Classic looks too addictive for me to let myself try it.

I played Universal Paperclips, and converted a HectoVerse (100 Universes) to paperclips.

Long covid sucks.

Spaceplan is a pretty fun and slightly comedic play through one as well http://spaceplan.click/
