A community idle/clicker game that plays out live on stream. Chat works together to earn clicks, level up, buy upgrades, prestige, and ultimately win. Inspired by Cookie Clicker.

1. Quick Start

Add the widget to your StreamElements overlay.
Set the overlay size — the widget scales to fit any resolution.
Chat sends messages to earn clicks for the shared pool.
Viewers type !buy [upgrade name] to spend clicks on upgrades.
Keep leveling, upgrading, and resetting until all 5 upgrades are maxed — that's a win!

The widget works out of the box with zero configuration. All defaults are tuned for a balanced ~2 hour game session.

2. How Clicks Are Earned

From Chat Messages

Every chat message earns clicks for the community pool. The amount per message is affected by three things:

Base clicks per message — starts at 1, increases as you buy upgrades
Combo multiplier — builds when chat is active (see Combo System)
Prestige multiplier — a permanent bonus carried over from prestige resets

From Bits, Tips & Superchats

In free mode (currency = Clicks), monetary events add bonus clicks to the pool:

Source	Bonus	Example
Bits	1 click per bit (default)	500 bits = 500 clicks
Tips	100 clicks per $1 (default)	$5 = 500 clicks
Superchats	100 clicks per $1 (default)	$5 = 500 clicks

In paid modes (Bits/Tips/Superchats), monetary events buy upgrades directly instead — see Currency Modes.

3. Leveling System

The community has a shared level that grows as clicks are earned. Spending clicks on upgrades does NOT slow down leveling — the level tracks total clicks ever earned, not your current balance.

Level	Total Clicks Needed	Clicks Since Last Level
1	0	—
2	100	100
3	400	300
4	900	500
5	1,600	700
10	8,100	1,700
20	36,100	3,700
30	84,100	5,700

Early levels fly by quickly. Later levels require more sustained effort.

Levels also:

Unlock upgrades (each upgrade has a minimum level requirement)
Make the background visuals more intense
Trigger a level-up banner animation

4. Combo System

When chat keeps sending messages, a combo multiplier builds up and makes every message worth more clicks.

Every 3 messages within a 5-second window adds +0.2x to the multiplier
The combo caps at x5.0
If chat goes quiet, the combo resets back to x1.0

Recent Messages (in 5s)	Combo
0–2	x1.0
3–5	x1.2
6–8	x1.4
9–11	x1.6
...	...
60+	x5.0 (max)

Combo Tiers (Visual)

The on-screen animations change based on your current combo:

Tier	Range	On-Screen Text
1	x1.0–x1.9	COMBO!, NICE!, KEEP GOING!, CHAT!
2	x2.0–x3.4	ON FIRE!, AMAZING!, LETS GO!, HYPE!
3	x3.5+	UNSTOPPABLE!, GODLIKE!, LEGENDARY!

Higher tiers have bigger animations and more screen shake.

5. Upgrades

There are 5 regular upgrades plus 1 prestige reset (upgrade 6). All purchases come from the shared community click pool.

Buying Upgrades

In free mode (Clicks): Type !buy [upgrade name] in chat.

You can use the full name, a partial name, or just the number (1–6)
Examples: !buy mega clicker , !buy mega , !buy 1

In paid modes: Cheer bits / send a tip / superchat the upgrade's price. No chat command needed.

Upgrade Types

Type	Effect
Clicks Per Message	Each chat message earns more clicks
Auto Clicks (DPS)	Clicks are generated automatically every second, even without messages

Price Scaling

Each purchase makes the next one more expensive. With the default +10% growth:

Purchase #	Price (base 100)
1st	100
2nd	110
5th	147
10th	236
20th	612
50th	10,672

Default Upgrades

#	Name	Type	Bonus	Base Price	Max Buys	Unlocks At
1	Mega Clicker	Clicks/Msg	+0.1	100	50	Level 2
2	Chat Booster	Auto Clicks	+0.5/sec	500	30	Level 5
3	Super Bot	Auto Clicks	+2.0/sec	2,000	20	Level 9
4	Giga Clicker	Auto Clicks	+5.0/sec	5,000	10	Level 14
5	Quantum Clicker	Auto Clicks	+10.0/sec	10,000	5	Level 20
6	Game Reset	Prestige	x1.2 permanent	20,000	Unlimited	Level 27

All names, values, prices, and unlock levels are fully configurable.

Who Can Buy

By default, everyone in chat can use !buy . You can restrict this in settings:

Everyone (default)
Subscribers
VIPs
Moderators
Broadcaster Only

6. Prestige (Game Reset)

Buying upgrade 6 (Game Reset) wipes most progress but grants a permanent multiplier that carries into all future runs, making every subsequent run faster.

What resets: Clicks, level, all upgrade counts, auto clicks, combo.

What's kept: The permanent prestige multiplier, prestige count, total messages, top clicker, highest combo, and win state.

Prestige Multiplier

Each reset stacks a permanent bonus on top of the previous one, applying to all clicks (messages + auto clicks):

Resets Done	Multiplier	Effect
0	x1.0	Base game
1	x1.2	20% faster
2	x1.44	44% faster
3	x1.73	73% faster
5	x2.49	~2.5x faster
10	x6.19	~6x faster

Prestige Cost

The reset doubles in price each time:

Reset #	Price
1st	20,000
2nd	40,000
3rd	80,000
4th	160,000
5th	320,000

7. Win Condition

The game is won when all 5 regular upgrades are maxed out at the same time. A victory screen appears with a trophy and confetti, and the game stops — no more clicks are earned.

Win screen shows:

Top Clicker — the chatter who sent the most messages
Total Messages — lifetime messages across all resets
Highest Combo — the peak combo multiplier reached
Resets — total prestige count

The win screen persists between streams. To play again, use the Hard Reset.

8. Currency Modes

Free Mode: Chat Messages (Clicks)

Viewers use !buy to buy upgrades from the shared click pool
Bits/tips/superchats add bonus clicks to the pool
Best for most streams — maximum chat engagement

Bits Mode

Chat messages still earn clicks, combos, and levels
!buy command is disabled
Cheering bits buys upgrades automatically — the widget picks the most expensive upgrade the viewer can afford, then repeats until nothing is left to buy
Leftover bits convert to bonus clicks
Best for monetized streams using bit incentives

Tips Mode

Same as Bits mode but triggered by tip/donation amounts
Best for streams using third-party tip services

Superchats Mode

Same as Bits mode but triggered by YouTube Superchats
Best for YouTube streams

9. Visual Effects

The background reacts to game activity across 5 stages — the higher your level, auto clicks, and combo, the more intense the visuals:

Stage	Visuals
1	Blue speed lines (subtle)
2	+ Cyan/teal lines
3	+ Magenta lines, center glow
4	+ Floating star icons
5	+ Lightning zigzags (maximum intensity)

Banners slide across the screen for key events:

Banner	Color	Trigger
Level Up	Green	Reaching a new level
Purchase	Orange	An upgrade is bought (shows buyer name + upgrade)
Reset	Red	A prestige reset happens

Floating text appears on each message showing the clicks earned and the chatter's username.

A hint bar periodically reminds viewers how to buy upgrades. It shows up every 60 seconds by default and can be turned off.

11. Hard Reset

To completely wipe all game data and start fresh (useful after a win or to restart mid-stream):

Check "Arm the reset" in settings
Check "CONFIRM RESET"
Save the widget settings

Both checkboxes must be checked when you save — this prevents accidental resets.

After the reset fires, uncheck both boxes and save again so it doesn't trigger on every future save.

A hard reset wipes everything: clicks, levels, upgrades, prestige count, prestige multiplier, and win state. Message stats (total messages, top clicker) are preserved.

12. Tips for Streamers

Game Length

Default settings create roughly a 2-hour game with moderate chat activity (~1 message/second). To adjust:

Shorter game: Lower the base clicks per level, reduce upgrade max counts, lower prices
Longer game: Raise base prices, increase max counts, raise unlock levels

Engagement

Call out combo milestones — the combo system rewards chat bursts
Prestige creates natural "seasons" within a single stream
The win condition gives chat a shared goal to work toward
Use the hint bar to remind viewers of the buy command

Monetization

Bits mode turns the widget into a bits incentive — viewers cheer to make progress
Free mode lets donors add bonus clicks without locking out the rest of chat
Mix it up: start in free mode, switch to bits mode during hype moments

Customization Ideas

Rename upgrades to match your brand or community memes
Set upgrade 1 to Clicks Per Message and the rest to Auto Clicks for a balanced mix
Lower combo cooldown (2–3s) for fast-paced streams
Raise combo cooldown (10–15s) for slower, chill streams
Set prestige unlock very high (level 40+) to make it a rare, exciting event

State Persistence

Game progress saves automatically every 30 seconds. Your community can pick up right where they left off next stream — only a hard reset or prestige clears progress.
