I just wanted a game about cookies.
"It begins."
—Grandma
Everything begins with a single click. Within a few hours, your cookie production frenzy reaches levels that will make you feel regret. At least an update introduced with the Steam version added the ability to disable it.
- While most of the milks from the Fanciful Dairy Selection upgrade are pretty, exotic patterns like starry midnight milk and various fiery milks, the sanguine milk stands out for being colored a blood red patterned with the lovely image of red blood cells that looks suspiciously like a screaming face.
- The Grandmapocalypse itself, featuring things such as giant, fleshy Eldritch Abomination Grandmas that threaten entire cities and secrete cookies and sugar and "highways of flesh".
- Not to mention the grandma's purchase icon shifting into a fleshy... thing as the Grandmapocalypse advances. There's absolutely no previous warning of this, so it'll certainly catch you by surprise.
- The Steam version makes the experience even more scary by making the music transition to a much darker and more ominous version of the main theme
once the Grandmapocalypse reaches the final stage.
- Before you get to the Grandmapocalypse, you can buy upgrades that make your grandmas increase the CPS of the other buildings. Each time the little grandmas displayed change costume according to the upgrade (for example, buy the one that increases the mines' CPS, and some of your grandmas will dress as miners). So far so good... Until you get the "portal" upgrade, called "altered grandmas", which turn some of them into deformed lumps of flesh...
- 1.039 adds Wrinklers◊. They're large, fleshy, leech-like parasites that start appearing when you trigger the Grandmapocalypse, and they suck your CPS if they get to your big cookie.
- The Christmas update has Santa. Surprisingly enough, the last form of Santa isn't really all that scary, should you be used to the typical Grandmapocalypse things. But True Santa, on the other hand... Yeah.◊
- The buildings you can unlock to bake more cookies for you start out fairly mundane and become weirder as it goes on. From cursors to grandmas, factories, portals to an alternate dimension, the code the game was written in... What does this all culminate into? "YOU". That's right. You yourself are the final building. More specifically, clones of you. Entombed into a wall like a Xenomorph hive.
"We rise."
