Fun and engaging game! I really liked the quota mechanic — it adds a bit of challenge. Thanks for your work!
Really interesting idea, but the really annoying thing is that the restart button isn't working and I have to refresh the entire page, I manage to get to 5 quote an don the 5th I had 130 seconds.
Yeah I noticed restart wasn’t working just before I had to submit. I couldn’t figure it out before the submission time ended.
How you handle it(in code)?
#in my game over script in the gameOver scene
var mainScene = preload(“scene.tscn”).instantiate()
func playAgain():
get_tree().root.add_child(mainScene)
self.queue_free()
#in the main scene
var gameOverScene = preload(“gameOver.tscn”).instantiate()
func gameOver():
get_tree().root.add_child(gameOverScene)
mainScene.queue_free()

Kept me busy for a bit :D
Oh boy, was I happy when I noticed that I could hit enter to build a new gear when I had a grid slot selected. Giving a short time to do upgrades between quotas would be nice.
The motor was a bad investment, it was just too slow and I couldn't add a crank speed it up again, so I lost when I bought it.
I was going to add a sell button so you could sell the gear with the motor and put a new crank on it but I never had any time to. Also, I tried to make an outline on things that could be interacted with when you hover over it but it didn’t work and instead of trying to fix it I decided to prioritise adding new things. I didn’t think about any kind of intermission I really should have added that.
Nice art
Simple and fun to play :D
I adore incremental games—and you can really feel the expandable potential in this one! The systems clearly have room to evolve into something massive.
I got four quotas. As soon as I got a motor I lost. The gears' size was confusing. I thought I was supposed to place it diagonally because that's where the teeth reach.
Very creative concept. Good job!
Thanks for playing! I should have spent more time polishing the generation of the grid because it generates differently at different resolutions so they only appear to connect properly at around 1080p.
Got past a few quotas and almost disabled my hand. Good spin on a clicker game!
Wait was that a pun?
lol didn’t realise
interesting game! i like the incremental idea, it's a little easy, and the crank is definitely hard to work with :')
I'm not sure if I was missing something in the menu in the bottom right because it scaled very small when the game went full screen. But you have the foundation of a solid concept here! It made me think of Lethal Company because I was putting in the WORK to meet that quota in time.
I saw in the comments that the gears are supposed to connect? I couldn't figure that out, but i got past 6 quotas anyway. I love incremental games and steampunk so this is a great concept. Just needs some UI work
Click.wav
I should think something like this with a more dynamic enemy (rather than the hunble quota) would be really fun. Expand this further and further and further and you've basically got factorio but with a heavier focus on tower defence. Could be really cool keep it cooking
My wrist hurts :(
