Clickteam's debut software was Klik & Play, released in 1994 as commercial, proprietary software. A version for educational use, dubbed Klik & Play For Schools, was also released as freeware, to be used exclusively for school activities. Klik & Play For Schools was available for download in Clickteam's website during the course of 2006, now being available for the public in general. Subsequent releases included, released in 1996, Clickteam's second product, Click and Create later renamed Multimedia Fusion Express which included more advanced features which the original Klik & Play lacked, such as scrolling, and a timeline editor, 3D game-making tool Jamagic; The Games Factory; The Games Factory 2; and Multimedia Fusion.

Clickteam's most recent application is Clickteam Fusion 2.5 (CF 2.5). This title is the successor to Multimedia Fusion 2, the company's most well-received software application to date.

It introduced new features such as child events, which only run if their parent events are true, support for DirectX11, new output window in the debugger, a profiler, and more.
