Embrace the Uncertainty of Novelty

Clicker games like Cookie Clicker and Space Plan offer a unique experience centered around rich novelty and ambiguity, engaging players with unexpected twists and upgrades that enhance gameplay. These games ensure guaranteed progress, allowing players to focus on the excitement of discovery—such as unlocking new generators or narrative developments—rather than merely reducing uncertainty or errors. Additionally, optimizing production becomes an intriguing puzzle, encouraging strategic decision-making regarding when to shift production methods to maximize efficiency, thereby fostering high-level strategic thinking.
