Use the upgrades on the right side of your screen wisely. Initially, focus on upgrading your cursor to increase the candies per click. Once you reach about 25 candies per click, start investing in early upgrades like Auto Candy and Candy Farm. Idle Strategy: Although it's a candy clicker game, it also benefits from idle play. Start strong to get some initial candies, then upgrade your clicking. This will set you on the path to auto-earning candies even when you're not playing.
