How does the game fit the theme?
You have one job, click and hold that button. Do your job and nothing can go wrong.

This is a rougelike game, with no limits to your upgrades... what can go wrong ? Please don't be insane and really hold that button so long... XD

interesting
Very interesting.. Do let me know what level you reached!
It's so fun! and i love the upgrades and the shop system, lil hard for me though but still very high ratings!
Thanks for playing my game!!!
The trick is to attack them before they got near to the button. If you liked to, you can retry later 😂
Remember to get clones!!! They are worth it.
What a great "clicker" game lol. Very simple execution that was well polished and was actually super addicting. If I had any complaint it would be that your background music loop could have been a little cleaner. But everything was great! Wonder if ya'll had game planned using different types of cursors?
Thanks for playing my game!!! I really like the different type of cursor idea, might implement them for different function.
I'm solo for this game so I had to make the arts and musics from scratch.
I didn't know I can use others music, so i composed that with zero music knowledge XD.
It wasn't a bad track, just the part where it loops you could sort of tell. For the different cursors I was just thinking of the different kinds you normally see. Like inside of a text box and such. Would be neat haha.
A fun little clicker game! With simple gameplay mechanic--protect the button by clicking away the enemies--but don't let this game simplicity fools you, it's actually quite challenging, especially at the start while you have little to no upgrade.
Although I really like that the button changes visual when it takes damage, I wish there was a clearer indication of how health the button has.
Other than that, this was a very entertaining game! Great Job!
you... you're able to write a better summary of the game... better than me 😂
Thanks for playing my game!!! Glad you enjoyed it.
At first I thought it was going to be something like aim labs. But it turned out te be an idler! Had su much fun and tried to max out everything. But it become too easy after some point maybe harder enemies would work.
Very great game idea and design! Great job!
Thanks for playing my game!!!
There's tons of things i wanted to implement, but couldn't due to time constraint.
Glad you had fun though!!!
Not sure what I am suppose to do, held on to the button for 5 mins and the game was over? JK let go and find out
Thanks for playing my game!!!
You supposed to do your job, else humanity is DOOMED!!! XD
does the game goes on forever? this is a nice game i buy a lot of point increaser and clones.
Thanks for playing my game!!! The games ends when button pressed and hold for certain period or when it got destroyed.
Well... technically it also ends if you overupgraded and crashed the game 🤣
number go up, brain happy. I think you could have done more with the music, but the sfx were crunchy and the visuals were great.
Thanks for playing my game!!!
Really really true, I hope I can do better for making the music and arts too. Still learning how to draw and composed music XD.
For some reason, "number go up, brain happy" reminds me of the youtuber, DangerouslyFunny, hahahaha
Your game made my brain do all the happy chemicals - there's another YT reference for you :)
Drop the namee, will watched later!!
I think the introduction in the game is very unique (was tempted to see what would happen if I did just press the button but was not able to wait), and the execution of the defence concept is well done overall. It got a little boring in the late game with the clones (but seemed too difficult without them), so it may be worth trying to see how the game loop could be made more interesting later on beyond just difficulty in volume/speed.
Thanks for playing my game!!!
It's fine, nothing will go wrong if you hold the button till the end, and I wasn't expecting anyone crazy enough to hold it that long anyway XD.
For now, I've actually dialed down the difficulty for this game jam so its easier for others to play. Game still need some balancing, more enemies, and different mode especially after buying the "Rock of wisdom".
I loved the game cycle. Love it.
Thanks for playing my game!!! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nooo, I doomed humanity :(
Very fun concept. I like those games where you can just "follow the rules", even when they seem strange. Next time i'll just keep holding that button.
Thanks for playing!!!
I've set the time to 5 mins because the intention was to make player give up... but I've underestimated those that willing to HOLD BUTTONS for 5 mins. It does nothing, but really funny to see those who tried hahaha
Very fun, I did not hold button :p
You have DOOMED humanity!!!
Anyway, thanks for playing!!! Glad you enjoyed the game
A little bit addicted, it was really fun and has a lot of charm to it!
Really like the upgrade system and the clones were life savers; not to mention the ROCK (Not Mr. Johnson).
It reminds me of an indie game called "Cursorblade" but a different take on the concept of using the cursor to interact with the game.
Thanks for playing my game!!!
Maybe I should have added his head instead of a real rock XD
OH MY GOD THOSE WERE THE MOST LIFE-CHANGING 5 MINUTES EVER!!!!
(actually I stopped holding by accident in my first gameplay and my pc crashed, let's pretend this never happened lol)
That's why you shouldn't let go of the button. XD
Nothing can go wrong as long as you don't let go.
Playing this game as clearly intended was peak gameplay
The 5 minutes I spent on this webpage holding the button were, without a doubt, the greatest 5 minutes of my life
I've reconnected with both myself, the world, and reality itself, life past playing this game is uncomparable with the life I lead up to it, which is now merely a distant memory of a time of lesser love, truth and beauty
Legend, best review I've gotten so far XD
Come back post jam to challenge longest holding button contest XD
this has been my toilet game all week. Thank you.
Shhhhh, its not supposed to be mobile friendly yet XD
This was such a fun game! 20 minutes went by in a second playing this, Well Done :D
Thanks for playing my game!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
It was fun making a 50 clone army with area of attack as large as half of the screen.
Thanks for playing my game!!!
I'm surprised it is still running and not crashed XD
I was jaming out to the music when i accidently let go of the button, it then all went wrong from there! Loved watching the ai pointers zoom around doing the work for me, got stressfull at times for me as im not someone who plays these types of games, but i liked the challenge. I also loved the text talking to the player as you held it down, i was expecting the button to move away from the mouse so i was suprised when i actually was able to hold it down the entire time.
Thanks for playing my game!!!
That's a great idea... too many people tried to hold that button til end of time..
I need a better way to distract them or make them lose focus XD
i like buttons
Same, I like holding buttons for no reasons
