'''[[http://castle.chirpingmustard.com Sandcastle Builder]]''' is an IdleGame by one Eternal Density as a fan-made companion to [[Webcomic/XkcdTime xkcd: Time]]. It was first available on [[http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=101043&start=57400#p3452117 September 4, 2013]]. The goal of the game seems simple, but isn't. You start out with a clickable image of a beach from xkcd: Time. One click digs one sand, and one sand produces one castle. This seems straightforward, but the amount of sand needed per castle increases following the Fibonacci Sequence. Once you've accumulated enough castles, you'll be able to purchase tools which produce sand automatically, other tools to produce castles at certain intervals, and boosts which let you produce sand sand and castles even faster. Soon you won't need to click to dig sand manually, but there quickly becomes other reasons to click. Then things get more and more complicated with 'redundakitties', 'ninja', 'the DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment', '[[Series/JudgementDay Judgement Dip]]', and TimeTravel. Also the whole thing is packed full of obscure references and made up words from the ''{{Webcomic/xkcd}}'' forum.

** The badges 'Mustard Cleanup' and 'How do I Shot Mustard?' are awarded in cases where the game cleans up the result of infinity minus infinity.
** After a certain point, very large numbers are 'rounded up' to infinity, including prices of items and the amount of sand and castles gathered. Rather than working around the problem or preventing it from happening, this was turned into a critical game mechanic.
