Accrete

Accrete is an idle clicker game about the birth of a star. You begin as one faint atom drifting through empty space. Reach out and the dark answers. Matter gathers around you until the whole sky seems to fall your way, and a sun waits at the end.

1. 1Click or tap the stage to pull atoms in. Each click is one pull, and you start with one hydrogen atom.
2. 2Spend atoms on gravity generators. There are 16, and each one pulls atoms in for you.
3. 3Buy boosts to make your clicks stronger. There are 16 boosts and they are permanent.
4. 4Grow through 14 phases. Each new phase zooms the camera out.
5. 5Click a large comet, gas giant, crystal or wisp as it drifts past. It falls into orbit and crashes into the nebula for a big reward.
6. 6Watch for drops and timed offers. Each one has a countdown, so pick before it runs out.
7. 7About one click in twelve is a surge.
8. 8At phase 14 your cloud ignites as a sun and the game ends.

1. How to grow faster in Accrete

   Buy gravity generators early. They pull atoms in while you click, so your total climbs even when your hands are busy with upgrades.

2. When to buy Stronger Pull

   Stronger Pull doubles your click power. It is a permanent boost, so every click after it is worth twice as much.

3. Making clicks count with Tidal Link

   Tidal Link adds a share of your output to every click. The more your generators pull, the more each click gives you.

4. How to catch drops

   Drops cross the screen and then leave. Press D to open one quickly. You get a cheap, a mid and a premium choice, each on a timer. Pick one before it runs out.

5. Buying in bulk

   Press B to change the bulk amount. Then one press of Enter on an upgrade row buys that many at once.

6. Playing with the keyboard

   Press Space or Enter once for each pull. Use the arrow keys to move through upgrade rows and Enter to buy. M mutes the music and sound, and Esc closes any open panel.

7. Catching the big drifting objects

   A large comet, gas giant, crystal or wisp sometimes drifts past. Click it to bend its path into a decaying orbit. It crashes into the nebula for a big reward, so it is worth a click whenever one appears.

8. Before you step away

   Away time pays out at 30 percent of your rate for up to one hour. Raise your rate before a break and you get more back when you return.

• Feel the dark gather around you as one lonely atom becomes a burning sun
• Watch a faint haze swell into a spinning cloud with a glowing heart
• Snatch passing comets and gas giants and see them spiral into you
• Drift through space to soft ambient music that keeps you calm
• Step away and return to a cloud that kept growing without you
