Whelp, time to waste another 4 hours on Universal Paperclips
What’s that? Cookie clicker with paper clips?
Yeah, but as you progress it becomes a bit of a thought experiment about AI.
Ooh. Worth paying $2 for on the App Store?
I just play it on a desktop browser, hard to say what $2 is worth to you.
Uhhhh… $2 doesn’t really dent my budget even as tight as it is. But I don’t like to spend money on apps because I’m too old and crotchety about apps not being free with an option to buy ad-free after you’ve played.
I bought it in 2017 and have played it ~6 times since at 4-6 hours per play. Worth $2 imo.
One of my favorite games. I play through about once a year and this year they added new features. When you beat it, you can go to other universes with different starting conditions to play through and see how that changes things. I don't think that will make me play more but it will keep a record of my plays.
Edit: I play on the android app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.everybodyhouse.paperclipsuniquetest
