Animal Clicker

🎮 How to Play

Welcome to Animal Clicker! Your journey begins by simply clicking on any adorable animal that appears on the screen to earn hearts ❤️, your primary currency. Spend these hearts to purchase new animal friends from the shop; each species generates passive income over time, creating your heart farm! The key to success is balancing active clicking with strategic upgrades to your animal collection. Keep buying more animals to increase your earnings per second (EPS) and unlock all 18 charming creatures for maximum heart production, whether you're playing actively or letting the game run in the background.

🕹️ Controls

The controls for Animal Clicker are beautifully simple and designed for everyone.
• Primary Control: Use your mouse cursor to click (or tap on touchscreen devices) directly on any animal to collect hearts.
• Desktop/Keyboard: While the game is primarily mouse-driven, you can often use the Spacebar for a rapid-clicking alternative. Some browsers also support keyboard shortcuts for menu navigation.
• Mobile/Touchscreen: Tap on animals with your finger to collect hearts. The interface is fully optimized for smooth touch controls on phones and tablets. Pinch-to-zoom may be available to get a better look at your growing collection.

🎯 Objectives

Your main objective is to build the most prosperous and diverse animal sanctuary possible. In the short term, focus on earning enough hearts to buy your first few animals and start generating passive income. Your long-term goal is to strategically purchase all 18 unique animal species, with each new unlock providing a significant boost to your earnings. There is no definitive "end"—victory is measured by your personal high score, the size of your farm, and completing your collection. Success comes from smart investment in your passive income sources.

💡 Pro Tips

• ⚡ Strategic Upgrading: Don't spend all your hearts immediately! Focus on buying multiple low-cost animals first to build a stable foundation of passive income. This will fund your purchases of more expensive, higher-earning animals much faster.
• 💰 Efficiency is Key: The true meta of this clicker game is optimizing your hearts per second (HPS). Check the shop to see which animal gives the best heart return on your investment and prioritize buying those.
• 🏆 Achievement Hunting: Keep an eye on the achievements menu; many provide permanent bonuses or large lump sums of hearts. Completing these is crucial for late-game progression and climbing the leaderboards.
• 🎪 Active vs. Passive Play: If you have time to click actively, you can boost your early-game progress significantly. If you need to step away, ensure you have a strong passive farm built up so you keep earning hearts even while offline.
