PC vs. Mobile vs. Browser - What's the Difference?

While the core gameplay stays the same across platforms, there are a few key differences:

Steam/PC version: Offers the most features, including sugar lumps, minigames, dragons, and seasonal content.
Mobile version: Delivers the main idle loop and upgrades but skips advanced systems, such as minigames and prestige upgrades.
Browser version: Lightweight and accessible, great for casual play, but with fewer features than the Steam edition.

All versions are fun, but Steam is the best option if you want the whole Cookie Clicker experience.

Pro Tips to Bake More Cookies Faster

Want to expand your cookie empire quickly? Try these:

Click golden cookies as soon as they appear. They often double your cookies or give powerful bonuses
Buy upgrades as often as buildings. They give more production boost for less cost
Use auto-clickers wisely for bonus speed
Focus on synergy upgrades (like grandma synergy) to multiply gains
Ascend smartly: Don't reset too early; wait until you can get significant prestige gains
