So this is what itch server feels like near the jam deadline
Nice entry, I had some fun experimenting with those building blocks. Starting with only a server and a data stream was nice, as it teaches how to get money in the simplest setup.
Beautiful game with interesting concept and theme interpretation! Really liked the idea of scaling up throughput as a physical system :D Though it lacked the button to decrease requests amount, as my cpu noteably struggled with 1024 requests. Also, did not really get what is the purpose of cache, as it did not put swimming rings around any of requests. Nonetheless, great entry!
Thanks for your comment! Copying from the other post: the cache works like a high performance datastore when the flagged balls fall through (cache hit). The catch is that some balls get punched out randomly (cache miss). You can try to collect these unlucky balls with a datastore. Hopefully we do a better job at this next time.
Funny concept, love the scratchy hand drawn style. Wish there were descriptions of components and a sell button, though. I still have no idea what the cache was supposed to actually do, lmao.
Solid entry, great job!
Thanks for playing! Sad our description didn't do a good job explaining things but the cache works like a high performance datastore when the flagged balls fall through (cache hit). The catch is that some balls get punched out randomly (cache miss). You can try to collect these unlucky balls with a datastore.
Fun little physics game! It was pretty funny to watch 2048 requests go at once (even though my CPU probably enjoyed it less)
have to say the visual is quite satisfying to see it all falling and the whole process is funny, wish it could be longer and the art style is pretty cute!
Awesome art style and interesting idea. We loved it. Keep up the good work!
