Clicker games, also known as idle games, are an odd breed of games that literally play themselves. Many of them have strong DISincentives for active participation. Clicker Heroes is arguably the archetype of this style of game, or, at least, is probably the most widely known. Developed by Playsaurus, it was originally released for browsers in 2014. Clients for Windows, OS X, and mobile devices were released in 2015. Clicker Heroes is available on steam or can be played at clickerheroes.com.
