The art is very unique and adorable, and the game is very satisfying!
The art is absolutely lovely!
And I loved that there was a German language option! That was pretty cool
Very solid and interesting take on a clicker game. The art was so dang good. I cannot get over how nice this games look. Great work!
Fun clicker game! It's really interesting to see a speedrun clicker game I don't think I've ever seen one before. I love the art style, the game looks super nice. I would've liked a bit more to the gameplay, I like idle games and seeing numbers go up as much as the next person, but I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay loop being spam click the entire time you play. Great work on this!
like your art style very polish both game and itch page! good job guys :)
Love it!
The visuals, presentation, and music are stunning. Despite being an idle game, it's addictive.
I really loved the art ! And I might need to improve my clicking skills
Wow the art is so beautiful and atmospheric. I love it! My hand hurts now lol
Really impressive for 4 days. Great art. Nice work!
Great art, very atmospheric. Loved the paper aesthetic, works really well for the concept.
Awesome art and really realxing sounds. 👍🏻
Gorgeous art and music!
Beautiful art direction! The music, the sound, the art. All of it comes together perfectly. Awesome work! Congrats!
Honestly, I'm not a fan of clickers, but macros helped me with that. The game looks and feels great. The art is beautiful. I'd like to play something similar, but with a different gameplay.
The art is very good! loved the music too
Love the art, good job!
The art is absolutely stunning!
Absolutely loves the animation and music. The interaction is satisfying. The mechanic and art suits very well. My personal art favourite.
Really beautiful game and my hand hurts now :). I do think there is an issue with the leaderboard in that my score didn’t seem to take. I thought I would be able to see the leaderboard after submitting, but clicking on the submit button didn’t do anything.
The upgrades were a little confusing to me, the growth one seemed to increase the amount I needed to get to? I am not sure. Loved the intro of each environment when the planes dropping in. Looked really polished.
Minor, but I think something that would really add to it would be different SFX when you click on the different things.
Thank you for the feedback and the nice words! I’m sorry that the score submission didn’t work for you. Sometimes, the score gets submitted but it doesn’t load the next screen, so maybe your score still shows up in the main menu. Let me know if your score is there. If not, we can post it manually if you remember your score. What name do you want to use?
Beautiful game
