Click to Begin and Touch Grass
Incremental | Short | Made in 10 Days
In this short 10-40 minute game, you will have to keep clicking to begin each task.
But don't worry! You'll eventually be able to automate everything.
Your objective is to touch grass (it's one of the tasks). This game is a demo of what will eventually be a much larger game. You only have to do a few tasks, ranging from:
- Unmuting music
- Clicking buttons
- Automating your tasks
- Watching annoying "ads"
But in the end, you get to touch grass! Isn't that exciting?
This game is part of Shovel Jam 2025.
Update
Thank you for all your feedback! I have received both praise and criticism. The most recent update (0.2.1) includes the following changes:
- A significant reduction in the amount of time until automation is unlocked (~5 minutes instead of 15+ minutes)
- Better automation, particularly for copper and ads
- Much less ad-watching fatigue
- Much cheaper upgrades, especially late game.
- Minor UI and text changes
- General bug fixes and optimizations
Feel free to see the dev log for more details.
Please be advised that while I currently plan to develop this game further, it may take a while because I need a day job to support my game development ambitions.
Controls
Mouse-only. You can left click all the buttons.

This is probably the most un-fun game I've ever played on itch
Game is very fun, but I feel like the 'fewer forced ads' upgrade is either broken or useless. I've clicked about twenty ads with it enabled, and every single one of them played in full.
I think my intent was to have the upgrade you’re referring to play forced ads occasionally. But you have a point. I’ll probably address this by making ads take less time (especially after the first few are played), with more variety (like different versions of the ad), more interactivity (like taking you to a fake download page if you click on the ad), etc. Also, some of the upgrades may cost slightly too many diamonds lol
Yeah, making them take less time would be a huge help. More variety sounds fun but probably wouldn't make me feel any better about the ads unless they also took less time.
intresting, will keep my eye on this.
fun, but the "post-game" stuff (getting all upgrades) is WAAAAY too long.
That’s true! Though in the full version, there will be more tasks that help boost your production
cool cool
