Dopaminer

Dopaminer is an incremental game where you click floating Synapse bits to earn DP, invest it in upgrades and automate your Dopamining. Increase your Effective Score to reach higher tiers and unlock new mechanics. Rare dopamine bits provide larger payouts, and progress continues while you are away.

Upgrade your runs

Four upgrade tabs let you improve different parts of your operation:

• Core: Increase Synapse value, spawn speed and lifetime, and improve chain reactions.
• Automation: Enable Auto-Collecting and Magnet Bursts, place Pulse nodes and Overclock those upgrades.
• Rarity: Increase the spawn rate of valuable Synapse bits and their multipliers.
• Meta: Spend Synapse Points on permanent perks that improve efficiency on each run.

Rewire resets your run while retaining Synapse Points, which you can use for permanent meta-upgrades to boost future runs. Score milestones unlock new automation and expanded upgrade options.

Daily challenges

Daily Challenges are short, skill-based activities that pause the idle progression. Completing them earns Cortexium (CX), which you can spend on upgrades in the shop:

• Cognitive Echo: Memorize flashing tile patterns and repeat them.
• Corruption Defense: Click incoming corrupted Synapse bits before they reach the core of your brain.
• Falling Bits: Target one Synapse rarity and survive.

Progress while away

Automation supports steady progress whether you click actively or leave the game running. You can return to accumulated rewards after being away. The game also includes Steam achievements.
