Trivia
- "Orteil" means "toe" in French.
- Orteil's favorite cookie flavour is "white chocolate macadamia nuts" according to the upgrade's flavor text.
- He has created several more things than RandomGen, Nested, Idle Game Maker, and Cookie Clicker.
- Naming yourself Orteil will give you an achievement called "God Complex" which is a shadow achievement that lowers your CPS by 1% until you rename yourself. Naming yourself "Ortiel" (a misspelling that Orteil detests) will lower your CpS by 2% and does not offer an achievement. This also makes the achievement icon for "God Complex" rain behind the big cookie. It is funny because Orteil considers himself a God.
- There is a very small chance that when the cookie is clicked, the achievement icon for "God Complex" will appear instead of one of the cookies you own.
- Orteil frequently does not update his game and is proud of his frequent procrastination. After all, he did just make a bunch of money off coaxing Steam users into buying Cookie Clicker
