Perhaps pushing the button increments a number that decays exponentially. And ads fly in your face to distract you, which you need to wipe away. I'm actually serious.
Actually, this will keep me busy during builds.
You will have to force yourself to give it up eventually, though.
idle game maker, a maker of games just like cookie clicker.

But of course the trick is to get the right 500 people telling their friends about the game, and, well, who has the time and money to bother with figuring that out?
Narrator: How can he possibly resist the maddening urge to erradicate history at the mere push of a single button? The beautiful, shiny button? The jolly, candy-like button? Will he hold out, folks?

:) A friend of mine was really hooked to the game and wanted to push more often than a fellow (drum kit playing) colluege of his.
After I finished it people pointed out other game jokes along the same lines - there is an RPG simulator who's name temporarily escapes me.
I'm still glad I made mine - I find it fun that people's reaction to it varies from finding it massively relaxing to one guy who gets so angry he just starts swearing whenever I mention it.
I'm on Level 5 of Progress Bar. Good effort. :)
