Really liked it! I was just brainlessly clicking while thinking other stuff with the hammer,  it was like shower thoughts! Had my fun, thanks for the game!

I probably could have gone for more, if i paid more attention

Developer

Thank you, and congratulations on the impressive score!

I really like the environment you put together for this one - just enough atmosphere but not too much that it becomes distracting from the game itself.
I think the different weapons were just cosmetic, but it probably would've been nice to have a coin counter on screen to know how close I was to the next unlocks :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to try out our game!
Each weapon does have different stats, including base click count, the boost ratio from hitting the dynamite, max speed, and the boost from regular clicking. We definitely should have included that information somewhere in the UI as well (and maybe increase the values a bit so it would "felt" better).

Thanks for pointing out the issues with the UI. Totally valid points, and we'll make sure to focus on that more during next game jams.

Thanks again, and cheers :) !

I cant believe a game this polished is from a game jam, amazing concept, really simple but really fun, i can easily see this as a paid game on steam. Amazing job !

I had a lot of fun playing this game! It's simple but addicting. It has a very satisfying gameplay loop. I felt like it deserved a video review. Overall, well done! I wish you luck on your future game making journeys!

Clever idea, simple and intuitive controls and lots of polish. Perfect recipe for a jam game!! 

As others have already mentioned, this would have been very popular in the mobile space around 2015 (not sure about now, I'm not keeping up with the scene)

Can't give any tip as the game is perfectly realized!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it. Indeed I can see it turned into a mobile game :D

This is great! It could be, and I mean this in the most positive way, a very good base for a mobile game. A few more options and levels, some kind of progress, monetization and you can put that right in the Play Store. Wonderfully made!

Thanks for the feedback! I am actually considering turning this into a mobile game :D. Thank you once again!
