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

You'll never catch me staying still for 5 minutes!
The concept is great, if you hold the button nothing goes wrong? Funny. Of course I didn't hold it because I'm lazy and had a pretty fun experience. What I could suggest is shortening the frame freeze after clicking on enemies, because I felt it was a bit too much. Great job regardless :)
Thanks for playing my game!!!
The frame freeze is actually lag spikes, it wasn't intentional. You can try the download version, for better experience.
Oh lol, it wasn't that annoying tho, I think a slight frame freeze could make the hits feel stronger and help the player a bit :)
Nice game! I found it hard to click at the beginning, but with some power ups I got it just right, and I learned :D I nothing negative to say: for 7 days of work it looks nice!
Challenging, even if it is not my kind of game, I think it has potential. I have added it to my list of hidden jam gems :)
Let me know what you think of my game!
Great game! I have a small positive bias for the idle game because they are my guilty pleasure when I watch videos at the same time. Of course, my autistic ass couldn't resist keeping the button pressed just to watch what would happened. One critic is just it miss a bit of decoration or evolution in visual, i don't know, i feel it can add a little plus to the game. And i'm remembering you were alone so congratz!

Great game!!
I loved this game so much, simple and fun, tho at first i thought it was an infinite game and then, when i purchased the rock, like 5 minutes later(yes i bought the rock very late on the run) i realised i had to held the button, but thats only becuase in dumb, pretty solid game, who needs damage? who need stun? i only need INFITINE RANGE NYE EHEH
Fun tower defense type game! Even with 3 clones and a rock i still lost lmao. Definitely something i could see myself playing on my phone in my spare time, considering you did this yourself in 1 week, very well done!
Really cool concept! It fits the theme and has a lot of unexpected things! Well done.
Great game! I think it's perfectly optimized for the game jam theme. I especially like the ending, where the player has to keep pressing the button, and the detail of the button getting damaged. I keep wanting to play it over and over. Good job!
Thanks for playing my game!!!
Just wondering if you have bought the upgrades, using the point gotten from killing enemies? I found out that quite alot of players missed out that there's a shop hahaha... the UI need some reworks
I noticed the shop on my second attempt! You're right, it might have been hard to find on the first try. Overall, I'm happy with the gameplay!
Hey, guess who finally didn't hold down the button ;) I must admit at first I was thinking that holding down the button was more fun (at least I got to dance instead of be made aware that I can't aim for biscuits), but once I bought the increase damage range upgrade things started looking up. It's still my favourite upgrade. Think I only got as far as level 3 though before the game crashed in the middle of a run. Screenshots below.
Since there's no limit to upgrades, I can only imagine this game gets more fun and absurd the more powerful you get. It would be awesome to come back to it so I can become INVINCIBLE. Nice job!
Yea theres no limits to upgrades, the only limits is your PC 😂
Feel free to try the download version if you wanted to replay it, but still... Thanks for playing my game!!!!
Hmm yes i held the button.
Alright jokes aside I released the button. The game's pretty nice imo. The visuals and audio were good. One bad thing is that my laptop isn't appreciating the amount of objects spawned.
Anyways, I uhh... may or may not have went overpowered.
Really fun game! Rated
Omg I loved this one, its so fun, really nailed the gameplay. I might have destroyed my mouse, though, because I didn't realize there was a shop, so maybe making that clearer would be nice hahaha.
super fun, had to take my headphones off at the end due to fears of hearing loss
10/10
Thanks for playing my game!!!
Dang it, i really wanted to make other got permanent hearing loss 🤣
Haha, I don't need to hold the button right :)) Nice game, but now my button is destroyed so many times!
The tips is to buy clones, they are waaayy overpowered.
Thanks for playing my game!!! You are always welcome to rechallange the game.
Hilarious! Reminiscent of a Monty Python sketch.
"Seems like nothing can go wrong if you stop pressing..." Yeah, not falling for that one.
Great work!
wait... did you pressed the whole time ?! Have you tried to released the button?
Released the first time, got annihilated (sorry humanity). Second time round, held the button down for the whole 5 minutes.
I see... you can actually left click on enemies to kill them. Use the points to but upgrades.
The key is to buy clones, they are waaayyy overpoweered
unfortunately, I was pretty useless at clicking on the enemies and somehow missed the bit about buying upgrades. I'll have to play again.
it's ok, just take your time. Its on me, i think i need to clarify to others better on the game, else everyone really just hold buttons for whole 5mins 😂
* Its kinda hard to kill them if they gotten too close, so make sure to click on them on the spot where you saw them.
Tried it again, and the upgrades definitely make it easier! I think I just missed the "press enter to purchase upgrades" in the corner, maybe needs to be more prominent?
yeaa, i ran out of time to design the ui for the menus.. 😅🤣 kinda overscope myself and alot things i had to removed...
Thanks for playing my game!!! Hope you upgrade til it crashed the game 😏
A bit difficult to click for me. And the upgrade UI a bit simple. But still interesting and fun. Well-done!
Thanks for playing my game!!!
If its difficult to click because of lag, you can try the download version. Yea, didnt have the chance to update the UI... will update them post jam.
Im going solo for this jam, and I made the arts and musics myself too.
I held the button for 5 minutes and won the game. I replayed and played the clicking version and now I have RSI... Played it a few times actually, it's kinda addictive.
Thanks for playing my game!!!
I have really underestimated player's will to hold the button... 😅
It was hard as heck! But fun! Good job! them little red guys are QUICK!!!
Thanks for playing my game!!!
Just buy more clones, they are overpowered !!!
Gameplay was fun, but its extremely easy. Its always fun to see number go up, but getting points was a breeze with the point upgrade. Having a screen-wide radius was hilarious, so love that there were no limits to the upgrades. Music was generally unpleasant if I'm being honest. Other than that, this was a fun, short, tower defense game!
I've dialled down the difficulty for this jam so that others can enjoy it.. but i still some feedbacks that it's hard 😅
For the music, honestly this is my first music 😂 I made if after watching a youtube tutorial , all the arts and music are made by myself.
Still, thanks for playing my game!!!
