A deliberately minimalist clicker with a metagame twist: you repeatedly click buttons to unlock achievements, including one the developer claims is impossible. The humor lies in subverting achievement-hunting expectations rather than in the clicking itself. Best suited for players who enjoy ironic takes on Steam's achievement system and don't mind repetitive idle mechanics as a vehicle for meta-commentary.

About this game

What players are saying

▼ Not recommended 9 hrs
PROS:
+ cool music
+ some funny/interesting achievements
+ (currently) has an achievable ending

CONS:
- it is just a couple of buttons you click over and over
- literal click bait game title
- low quality content game in general

Comment:
First the good. It can be run in windowed mode so you can read something while the auto-clicker is on. There's also nice humor behind some of the achievements. It even has an element of education as various numbers will pop achievements connected to science/physics/math constants. The funky and lively music is probably the best part of this game, my favourite for sure. It is clear to me that the person who made this had fun. However, there was potential here for it to be a fun mini-game with a lot of hidden things to find/click on. Instead there are just a couple and the vast majority is clicking over again until 1 milion. Literally it is just a couple of buttons. But it could be something for achievement hunters ... but that depends on your description of achievement hunting (I prefer quality over quantity). I received it for free so I cannot really be overly negative, after all, I didn't spend money on it. But in the end I do have to ask myself - would I buy this? And the answer is, unfortunately, "no". An interesting experience but not one you couldn't live without.

A clicker. A metagame about achievements. It tries to be like The Stanley Parable of achievement hunting and clickers but falls short due to its presentation.



Let's begin by grounding that this is so simple clicker that as a game itself it's boring and lame as heck.

But as an achievement hunting game it's actually okay, albeit short-lived. But I really, really recommend using auto-clicker (like I did), because you have to click a lot and long, and it's not worth it to lose sleep and/or mouse over.

Cheevos?



At least at the moment of writing, it is (in my opinion) not an achievement spam game, having currently (as of Feb 11 '18) 99 achievements that require some effort (as far as a few clicks go). This I approve.

It's a game about clicking various buttons, sometimes many times. You get an achievement and a good taunting as a reward for each one found.

Game isn't meant to be good. It even tells you to stop playing it multiple times, mocking you for making it so and so far. But at least you got the lousy achievement.

Presentation



Screenshots pretty much show the whole game: it looks dull and lame, with big blocky buttons. Six music tracks play on the background, but while being okay, they grow old quickly. Thankfully, the self-declared "amazing options menu" allows lowering volume or even muting sounds altogether.

The only thing making the game remotely good is the exploration aspect of clicking. Achievements are hidden in clicking various things in the menus and reaching certain numbers of clicks, sometimes exactly: another button allows proceeding 10 points per click but risks skipping those numbers, though you can always go backwards or reset.

Note: As the game's achievements were existing but unpublished when I completed it, I spent considerably longer exploring than an average player after release likely would. Hence my comparatively long playtime. In my defense I just idled it a lot.

Never perfect game?



It took me leaving the game on over one night to find the last elusive achievement, but eventually I *did* grab it, thank you very much.

Considering it costs less than a dollar I do find it an okay price. But only IF you might find yourself liking a peculiar achievement hunting clicker. Otherwise, you should steer clear. Or maybe gift it to a friend who's up for "challenge".

Got free through Curator Connect for review purposes.

I played this game for 24 hours and earned 100% of the Achievements before writing this review. You Will Never Get This Achievement is not a fun game, and is barely a game. You click a few times, and you get achievements, it is just another Achievement farm.

If you are looking to have a few dozen Achievements drooled out at you, this is a thing to get, if you are looking for something fun, literally anything else would be better. As far as an actual review goes, there is nothing to provide, the game lacks any story, any challenge, or any gameplay. It is just there. I’d say the game has an audience, that being the people looking for easy Achievements and more perfect games.

People who I would recommend it to
1) People looking to boost their perfect game number
2) People who like watching the numbers go up

People who should not play this
1) Everyone.
