The game was actually considered a kind of joke, but beat so big waves that a separate genre has formed: the idle games.
In the game you just click on a biscuit to collect him. If you have collected enough biscuits, then you can unlock upgrades to collect more biscuits, including:
- Additional cursors who click on the biscuit with you together
- A grandma baking more cookies
