Click a giant candy to earn candy, buy ten tiers of buildings that produce candy every second, buy permanent one-time upgrades, catch a roaming golden candy for a jackpot and a 7x Sugar Frenzy, unlock achievements, and melt the factory down for permanent Candy Crystal bonuses. No download, account, or payment required.

Candy Clicker is a single-player incremental game. It runs entirely in the browser on desktop and mobile.

Buildings keep producing at 40% while the tab is closed, for up to eight hours, and the candy is credited on the next visit.
