Parodying Breaking Bad in a browser-based game, Clicking Bad challenges players to build a drug empire while defending territory against rival gangs.
Clicking Bad is an incremental browser-based game created as a parody of the popular TV series Breaking Bad. In the game, players take on the role of Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who begins manufacturing crystal meth to provide for his family after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The core gameplay centers around clicking to earn money and expand Walter's drug operation. Players can purchase equipment to increase their meth production capacity, hire street dealers to sell the product, and attack rival gangs to defend their territory. The goal is to earn as much money as possible before Walter inevitably succumbs to cancer after a set number of in-game days.
As the player cooks and sells more meth, they attract the attention of powerful drug lords and corrupt DEA agents that serve as bosses. Defeating these bosses unlocks new areas, additional equipment, and greater profits. The gameplay is simple and repetitive by design to hammer home the descent of Walter White from family man to ruthless criminal kingpin.
While the subject matter is quite dark, Clicking Bad employs an exaggerated cartoony art style and over-the-top characters and situations to add levity. It's intended as a parody that mocks the moral decline of the show's protagonist through idle clicker mechanics. The basic clicker gameplay loop serves as wry commentary on how Walt becomes increasingly obsessed with status and money to his own detriment.
