About Delete Things From Earth
a darkly comedic clicker where you erase coffee, continents, and eventually the sun itself to find out how many clicks it takes to destroy civilization.
Why I made it
I was a bit inspired by the style of Plague Inc., although the concept is different, and also by Cookie Clicker.
The details
Genre: incremental/clicker
Engine: ThreeJS
Made with: Claude Code
From the maker
I was a bit inspired by the style of Plague Inc., although the concept is different, and also by Cookie Clicker.
Number goes up, world goes away. I get why people like these to, but I ran out somewhere around clicking to unlock more clicking. The writing is very funny, I'll give it that. Underneath it's still a clicker and I don't have the patience for them.
Odd thing to call calming when you're removing the planet item by item (and yet, that's what it is). Nothing presses on you. No reflexes wanted. Just numbers ticking up and a joke that darkens along a slow curve. Good for a tired evening when you want something gentle running in the background.
The escalation gag is the entire design. Clickers stand or fall on one question: does the upgrade curve keep pace with the punchlines? Working up to the sun at least gives it a natural ending, and most of the genre never manages that. My worry is the middle stretch being multipliers with funnier labels.
A clicker built on one decent joke. The escalation from deleting coffee up to deleting continents is paced nicely, and the item descriptions get worse and worse in the best possible sense. Standard incremental arithmetic underneath. The writing earns every click anyway.
