Differences from Web/Steam

The mobile version sports several differences from the web version, mostly with UI. Gameplay is also majorly different, mainly due to missing content (as it's currently in beta) but mobile-specific changes exist as well.

Layout

Unlike the web's 3 tabs that are visible at all times, the mobile version dedicates tabs to the whole screen and allows witching between them.

Tabs include:

  • Cookie - akin to the left tab on web, displays the Big Cookie as well as Wrinklers. The only tab where shimmers will appear.
  • Store - akin to the right tab on web, displays buildings and upgrades to be observed and/or bought . Note that mobile does not have the middle tab from web
  • Special - displays special features such as Legacy and the Bingo Center.
  • Stats - akin to the Stats menu on web, displays all stats but also allows viewing previous events and news.
  • Misc - displays tip of the day and several non-gameplay features:
    • Settings
    • About - brief overview of the game with links
    • Version history
    • Wipe save - not the same as ascending!
    • Alpha status and options to switch if one is available

Gameplay

  • Perfect idling from the start of the game, completely removing the Angel/Demon part of the ascension tree. Wrinklers also eat cookies when offline, although they will only spawn when online.
  • A "Special" tab, which shows the ascend button as well as the research upgrades. It is presumed that minigames will appear here when implemented.
  • The ability to "Buy all" upgrades without the Inspired Checklist heavenly upgrade. The mobile version does not include this upgrade.
  • The ability to see the prestige tree without ascending, as well as viewing the upgrades descriptions and prices.
  • The "Log" button, in the Stats menu, which shows all previous notifications, such as previous achievements, golden cookie information, and how many cookies were made when offline
  • "Tips of the day" in the Misc section, giving small tips on the game.
  • A "Buy Max" button.
  • Cookie clicks and Cookies per click statistics being changed to Cookie taps and Cookies per tap.
  • The numbers are also formatted differently (e.g. "2.3M” instead of “2.3 million”).

Missing Content

The live version of mobile does not include:

Orteil has stated there are some things in the desktop version that will not be implemented in the mobile version, like the Dungeons and Gardens, due to them being too complex. The game also doesn't allow a large collection of upgrades to be put into the permanent upgrade slots.[1]

Trivia

Orteil has stated that at some point during the beta, there will be an option to pay a small amount of money to remove ads.[1]
