Universal Paperclips Review: Filling Office Space

GameZebo:

Universal Paperclips is part clicker, part resource management, part incremental game that has a definite “ending,” but is played over time at a pace you can set based on your style. You begin by simply pushing a button to make a paperclip yourself, which is then sold at a price you set, at a speed determined by the current demand. The lower the price, the higher the demand, but your demand early on will be very low no matter what, and your profits minuscule.

Just like a paperclip, Universal Paperclips is boring to explain…at least at first.

I got sucked into this game from a tweet by Rob Griffiths. I ended up creating 30 septendecillion paper clips. The game is best described as “a little odd” but definitely addictive for me. You can play it from your browser or via the iOS app.
