Your use of 'cookie clicker' diminishes this as a piece of art that tries to express the author's worldview or thoughts in a different way.

Yes, it is simple, but there is more complexity to it if you look further.

Having said that, here's a graph of the logic this game uses: https://cdn.rawgit.com/CyberShadow/11329584/raw/5d295c9557d31d0225791d39c82e5035f59b47f1/drowning.svg

And the code, if you're interested: https://gist.github.com/CyberShadow/11329584

diminishes this as opposed to seeing it as a piece of art*

everything is art

I liked it, but I'm not sure it stands that well as art rather than a simple-but-expressive game. It's not particularly Cookie Clicker like, mind, maybe more A Dark Room, but its incrementalism doesn't extend into hours like those games, it makes its case and absents itself.

i gotta say if there's one thing the click and wait genre's been missing it's self-importance
