About EcoClicker
EcoClicker is a clicker game about fighting global warming by planting trees. You grow a forest, cut some of it down for gold, and spend that gold on the workers, policies and research that keep the whole operation growing.
The catch is the climate. A temperature anomaly gauge tracks how far the planet has drifted from normal, and it has to stay inside a band from -3°C to +3.5°C. Push it past either edge and the game is over, so every choice about planting, chopping and spending pulls against the others.
It's a mouse-only mix of idle and management play with a dark streak under the bright colors, and a full game takes about an hour. You can play EcoClicker online here. It runs best in Chrome and works in other current browsers too.
How to Play EcoClicker
- Press New game on the title screen.
- Click the big green button to grow trees.
- Click the big yellow button to cut trees down for gold.
- Hire workers to plant and chop for you. Hold Alt while clicking to buy or sell them in bulk.
- Research new tech and adopt policies that raise your yield.
- Keep the temperature anomaly inside the -3°C to +3.5°C range, or the game ends.
What to Expect in EcoClicker
The first few minutes feel like a standard clicker: click, collect, buy a helper. Things get more interesting once the workers are running and the temperature starts to move. Gold comes from cutting trees down, yet trees are what save the planet, so you're always weighing the two.
A full game runs about an hour. The tone has a darker edge than the sunny art suggests, and the title screen hints that winning may not be as simple as it looks.
Tips for EcoClicker
- Hold Alt while clicking to buy or sell workers in batches. It saves a lot of clicks once your workforce gets big.
- Check the temperature after every big purchase or round of chopping, so a slow drift does not sneak past the limit.
- Do not chop everything you plant. Standing trees are how you keep the planet in range.
- Put early gold into research, since better tech raises what every worker brings in.
- Set aside about an hour if you want to play EcoClicker free from the first tree to the finish, and use Chrome if another browser acts up.

FAQ
Is EcoClicker free?
Yes. EcoClicker is free to play here in your browser. You do not need to install anything or make an account. Press New game, start clicking the green button, and you're planting your first trees within seconds. A full game takes about an hour from start to finish.
How do you play EcoClicker?
Click the green button to plant trees and the yellow one to chop them for gold. Spend gold on workers who plant and chop for you, then on policies and research that raise your yield. Through all of it, keep the temperature anomaly inside the safe range, or the game ends.
What is the goal in EcoClicker?
The goal in EcoClicker is to save the planet from global warming. You grow forests and build an economy around them while holding the temperature anomaly in the -3°C to +3.5°C range. Slip outside that band and it's game over, so balance matters more than raw speed.
Who made EcoClicker?
EcoClicker was made by Alastor Games and released on itch.io. It's a mouse-only browser game that was tested mainly in Chrome. FunClicker did not create it. We embed the creator's own version, and the credit link on this page leads to the original release.
Can I play EcoClicker on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook is a good fit. EcoClicker is mouse-only, runs in a browser tab, and Chrome is the browser it was tested in. On a phone, the bulk buying shortcut needs the Alt key with a click, which a touchscreen lacks, so a computer is the better choice for longer games.
Is EcoClicker unblocked at school?
EcoClicker needs only a browser tab, with no download, plugin or login. Whether it opens on a school or library network depends on that network's filter, which we do not control. If the game loads on your connection, press New game and you can play.
Can you win EcoClicker?
Yes. EcoClicker has a way to win, and the title screen hints that the Eco dome is the key to it. The same screen also asks whether that ending is what you really want, which suggests there's more to think about than reaching the finish line as fast as possible.
How long does EcoClicker take?
A full game of EcoClicker takes about an hour. That's long enough to build up a large workforce and work through the research, and short enough to finish in one evening. Keep an eye on the temperature the whole way, since a single bad stretch can end the game early.
