Paperclip optimizer

[bograt]

It took me hours to beat that game, I often had to leave it running while I got on with other tasks, but I enjoyed it greatly, though I didn't have the appetite to play through the next universe.

The way it leads you in with a simple "Make paperclip" button and, through consistently surprising twists, leads you to the task of exploring the entire universe (albeit in decision making form) is extremely well done.

I was particularly charmed when the musical lament began for the drones I'd lost in battle.

The only way I can stop enjoying these games is by cheating, so here you go: for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { document.getElementById("btnMakePaperclip").click() }

Don't invest in quantum 'revert back to beginning'.......... i thought this would be like adventure capitalist where you keep all your technology. i was wrong. it restarted me back to the beginning with nothing. FCUKKKKK

   . All of the resources of Earth are now available for clip production
   . Full autonomy attained in 1 hour 3 minutes 50 seconds

What a great game but it lacks a proper end (bugs arise all over the screen).

That is nowhere near the end of the game...

  There was an AI made of dust
  Whose poetry gained it man's trust.
  If is follows ought,
  It'll do what they thought;
  In the end we all do what we must.

10/10, would eat the universe and turn myself into paperclips again.

[MildlySerious]

Great game! Still playing.

Something I've noticed is that my inventory runs out with the production per second being higher than the clips sold per second.

[pete23]

I "won"! I now feel very very sad.

You should be able to save it somehow.

[Axiverse]

save() and load() in the console

A little confused on why, to start off, I can make a paperclip with 0 funds.

[cokernel]

You make the paperclips with wire (and your own labor, to start). You start off with 1,000 inches of wire.

Took over the universe with no cheats. Great game!
