# TrickleDown.io

> TrickleDown.io is a free, satirical browser clicker game by Shinobit LLC. Players pick a fictional billionaire and pry dollar bills out of their clenched fist, one at a time, in a tug-of-war, then buy upgrades until the billionaire goes bankrupt. It runs in any modern desktop or mobile browser with no download or account.

## Key facts

- Genre: casual / idle-clicker, satire. Free to play, supported by ads.
- Platform: web browser (desktop and mobile), built with WebGL (PixiJS).
- No account or sign-up. Progress is saved locally in the player's browser; players can export and import a save code from the Stats page.
- Every billionaire character (for example Brock Ledger III, Sen. Pat Porkbarrel, Gwendolyn Glow, Barry Blockchain) is fictional. They do not depict or refer to real people or businesses. The game is a parody about extreme wealth in general.
- In-game money is imaginary and has no cash value. The "what it could pay for" comparisons (teacher salaries, school meals, library books and more) are illustrative, and no money is donated.
- Gameplay: drag bills out of the fist until they rip free; later billionaires earn dividends or interest while you play; upgrades are Bigger Bills, Fuller Fists, Butter Fingers, Tax Auditor, Greed Is Good, Close Loopholes (cuts the billionaire's dividends and interest) and Wealth Tax; a rare "Leaked Files" event triggers a 7x frenzy. Bankrupting a billionaire unlocks the next one, and after all seven a new season starts with every fortune 10x larger, endlessly.
- Made by Shinobit LLC (Sacramento, California), the studio behind GoBattle.io.
