Comments on Universal Paperclips for Android

★★★★★ Vinita J · Nov 7, 2025
I absolutely love this game. I've played a lot of clicker/incremental games, and Universal Paperclips stands in my Top 10. One feature request though, a dark mode would make this game perfect! The ability to scroll log messages would also be great.
★★★★★ Justin Schwausch · Mar 14, 2026
After a few years, a new update finally fixed the stability issues and the game works as intended. I can recommend it again. One of the original *make number get bigger* games, Universal Paperclips is a nice change of pace from most modern mobile games. No crazy monetization systems or loot boxes, just simple paperclip folding.
★★★★☆ Zack Thompson · Feb 16, 2026
Great game but stuck in later stages. I didn't understand that speed and exploration was required to keep my drones to reproduce. It keeps sending my drones to a massive battle that there's no chance of winning. I'm perpetually stuck now.
★★☆☆☆ Jacob Keesler · Aug 12, 2025
Please fix the crashing! The web game is so great, but you can't progress in this game if it's not open, and it's not progressing if it crashes every time I look away from it!
★☆☆☆☆ Vincent Boucher · Aug 23, 2025
Extremely stupid design choices. Who the hell makes an incremental game where when you prestige, you're offered 2 mysterious choices and one just ends the game instead of prestige-ing??? At least make it clear... I'm not doing a hard reset just to try the prestige system. Terribly dumb.
★★☆☆☆ Ten Heatley (Silver Sumo) · Oct 11, 2026
The game is a pain when it comes to progressing. The incremental on the buttons are so low for later in the game. You have to press a button 2000 times just to get it to the place that the game needs to be just to get to the next stage. Oh and the game stops doing anything when it hits a certain number of paperclips, so the game locks you out of the space exploration stage of the game.
