The front page of popular Roblox games presents users with numerous simulator games. I’ve played multiple simulator games myself, but cannot understand why it gained so much popularity. Every simulator game I’ve played seem to have the same mechanics (clicking). What is it that makes clicking simulator games so addictive to users on the platform? Why is it that some simulator games fail, but some don’t?

IDK why sitting there all day clicking is popular, it just feels stupid to me. I have no idea why some get popular and some don’t but I would assume it’s:
- Lots of good adds.
- A good name.
- Pets.
- Colorful icon and thumbnail.

Most basic answer is: Kids.
Maybe its the dopamine of seeing numbers go up, or the pets, or maybe they just like clicker games, but I bet you 90% of the people playing those games are young kids.
Nothing wrong with clicker games though, I enjoy them when they have more depth than click button, click upgrade, click button, click upgrade, repeat (which the Roblox ones normally don’t)

main reason is kids. If you advertise and then as know more kids will join and game becomes popular more and more because of more kids joining.
User-interface. So so so many games have the same generic looking user interfaces. Yes, they use different colors/transparencies/borders that Roblox offers but in reality they’re all the same box-y, arial font-ridden UIs that we’ve had for years now.
Don’t worry bro, just add some crazy pets and p2w stuff and you will get your game popular in .01 seconds.
