Universal Paperclips™

Fairly mindless and uninteractive

- Josh Glass

needs easier ways to buy 100s of a thing, rather than clicking 100s of times

- Daniel · v2.1.25

makes you think about the future of ai

- Calvin Kim · v2.1.25

Got soft locked when selling a drones to buy 5oct space level, and can't make progress. Needs a way to go back. Alot of things need explanations I would think

- Alex Buford · v2.1.25

First time entering the world of UPC. I've heard nothing but great things about this game thanks to reddit and youtube reviews. One suggestion if you can't implement a full-on offline progression how about a calculation system where a % of your offline is converted into progress for the active session?

- ogeid nomar · v2.1.25

so fun

- BlackStar · v2.1.25

A very minimalist style game. It isn't overwhelming, it's quite relaxing, and it's a bit grindy. For a casual game that won't stress you out, with some lore, not too much, I highly recommend it.

- Colton S · v2.1.25

Great! The audio seems to be having an issue. Sound option is On, but there is no sound... I'll adjust my stars once this is fixed.

- Serj S · v2.1.25

No warning when resetting your game if you want to see what the negative quantum upgrade does without looking it up. "Return to the beginning" as just an upgrade description does not accurately convey that you are not prestiging but essentially doing the same thing as navigating to the app in your settings and deleting user data.

- Justin · v2.1.25

Once in a while, I'll replay this game. It's always got a spot for whatever phone I currently use. Enguaging for short periods, so perfect for that ride to/from Work

- B Okami · v2.1.25

I enjoy the app in full (5 star when dark mode is added), could you add a processor one can upgrade (speed of collection & time available for potential upgrades on it) at any point to create & expand offline collection progress that resets with each time line. There can be a UI update with Menu (return to) & Settings (containing Text Size, Sound & Music Percentages, Dark Mode, Gift Shop, Save, & Reset.)

- Dot Tor (Dat_Brew) · v2.1.25

Fun game, broken with android 10. now works

- Ian Johnson · v2.1.25

The benchmark incremental game. Years later, very few games have managed to surpass it.

- Хороший · v2.1.25

softlocked for space exploration can't have the clips with the power dissapointing and disassemble button needs confirmation it's too easy when having to click 2000 times on a single button to accidently click a button with 1mm accuracy. but misclick any others and it doesn't register....

- Mark Crawford · v2.1.25

The problems with the app were fixed. Now one of the best little time wasters of the previous decade is finally available on mobile.

- Mike Best · v2.1.25

This has always been an excellent browser game, and the mobile version is quite strong - and adds a nice framework game to extend the playability beyond completion of the basic game dramatically. I did encounter one bug, and saw no easy way to report it: in the rare case where the price for "another token of goodwill" extends beyond $2 billion, the listed price remains at $2 billion but the price you must pay continues to double. I had over $3 billion and the option to buy remained grayed out.

- David Hewitt · v2.1.25

Never thought I'd say this, but the silly paperclip making game made me tear up and think about life. Genuinely a work of art

- Andrew Brown · v2.1.25

I really like the game. It's a fun extension of the web version. Glad they finally fixed the crashing issue.

- Doug Strain · v2.0.6

was enjoyable until the only research left was the hypno drones. requires 70k ops but even with an auto clicker i could only get up to 63k. so i either have to leave my phone on overnight for however long or restart. I'm doing neither.

- Zachary Updike

no progress save, no gplay integration. feels like slop and i can not refund this.

- Mitsu N.

I like it, there seems to be performance issues for a game with a spreadsheet, and I think the app has to be open to earn anything which sucks a little.

- Impossible Gaming · v2.1.25

dunno if it's intentional but I only got 3 oct trillion chips made instead of 5, not able to finish the game. Clicking thousands of times to get solar panels installed is also mental. But hey this is not a game but performance art I guess 😂

- Shane Hou · v2.1.25

Fun Game!!!

- Kathryn Collins (BasCollins420) · v2.1.25

After a few years, a new update finally fixed the stability issues and the game works as intended. I can recommend it again. One of the original *make number get bigger* games, Universal Paperclips is a nice change of pace from most modern mobile games. No crazy monitisation systems or lootboxes, just simple paperclip folding.

- Justin · v2.1.25

Edit: runs pretty well now! In 2026 Mirrors the Web version fairly well, but the application is buggy asf and regularly locks up/crashes. When it crashes, it normally flickers as well so those sensitive to this be warned.

- A B · v2.1.25

Update: Was able to play a full game, 6.5 hours, without a single glitch or crash! I am so happy, because I do love this game! Thank you so much to the devs!

- Citris · v2.1.25

Absolute slog when you get to the universe stage

- Ryan Culton · v2.1.25

love it

- A Duff

amazing

- Claudio Torres · v2.1.25

Updated to 4* - game has no issues running as of the latest. Great work! Now I just wish for a visual update to put things in tables or something for easier readability. Maybe some options to change the colours around. Green text on black background would look fantastic.

- Mikau · v2.1.25

Game doesn't have persistent storage of your progress. So if you archive/uninstall, know you'll be starting over from zero on your next load.

- Privacy First · v2.1.25

Great game but stuck in later stages. I didn't understand that speed and exploration was required to keep my drones to reproduce. It keeps sending my drones to a massive battle that there's no chance of winning. I'm perpetually stuck now.

- Zack Thompson · v2.1.25

enjoying the game.

- David Trebilcock · v2.1.25

Updated review! I've played start to finish through the game again after the latest update and can confirm it didn't crash once! Appreciate the developers putting in the work to track down such a long-standing issue and fix it.

- Abigail de Joode · v2.0.6

A fantastic game! I experienced zero issues, crashes or bugs.

- Brie Jensen · v2.1.25

The game was updated recently as I was informed by a dev, and it works now. been playing for a few hours and im now gambling away all the money ive made while trying to figure out how quantum computation works. Definitely an interesting incremental and im intrigued to see where things go from here.

- Stephen Rude · v2.1.25

add a confirmation for disassemble all. if you expect me to either wait around for an option i don't have or click a x100 button like 1000 times don't have it be easy to misclick and reset your button presses. it's so dumb to reset as you are mashing a stupid amount of clicks

- Haru

sadly the frequent crashes make it difficult to play

- Gregory Mason · v2.1.25

yay they fixed the game and added new stuff! Just wish it could run idle without having the app open... they've had years to fix that.

- A S · v2.1.25

quite fun!

- Sam B · v2.0.6

Cookie clicker who

- The Deathbrigade · v2.1.23

Fun game, even on multiple play throughs. Crashing issues are fixed.

- Hä? Wassdalos? · v2.1.23

poorly made, full of soft locks and hours of lost prog just to find out you have to do it all over again for no benefit.

- William Casey (Wolfe) · v2.1.23

SEIZURE WARNING- FULL SCREEN BLACK AND WHITE STROBING, AND PARTIAL STROBING ARE REGULAR AND REQUIRED PARTS OF PLAY. There is no warning in game, but a warning wouldnt make it playable or safe- itd just mean I'd have had one less seizure in my life. Outrageously hostile design, reckless and decidedly lethal. They should ban these apps and prosecute the designers and publishers for endangerment. They've never had the thought, "our game should be able to kill 0 people. It shouldnt be lethal."

- R F · v2.1.23

Honestly the best mobile game I have ever played.

- JosoBryan · v2.1.23

- Aditya Agrawal · v2.1.23

I'm annoyed at the requirement of 70k ops for the drones. It's far too easy to lock yourself in a spot where your progress slows to a crawl, only being able to throw away the past hour or two and restart *or* spend several more hours playing on. Please let us convert processors into memory, or something else to let us go into Stage 2. I've been stuck in Stage 1 for ages.

- Alex Mueller · v2.1.23

Played this game a few years ago on the browser. It was FUN. Decided to replay with the mobile app. Started off fun. But there is a major issue. Auto-saving does not always work. After playing for 5 hours I closed the app normally, and next time I opened it, I saw that ALL that progress was lost. That is not fun. It's painful. I'm going to stop playing until there is an update to fix this, and then I'll change my review.

- Phillip Principato · v2.0.6

Fun game with neat little details I wasn't expecting. it's worth an install and play.

- Eric D · v2.0.6

Pretty fun clicker game at a fair price with no ads or predatory monetization practices. My biggest criticisms are the random crashes that usually result in 10+ minutes of lost progress, and the lack of a dark mode. The UI is basically entirely white, which is a big battery drain and causes eye strain. An AMOLED dark mode or at least a standard dark mode would be very welcome! EDIT: bug was fixed! 5*
