Meh, I don't think this game is that interesting. I don't want to be a hater but the game lacks creativity.

I loved it, very cool aesthetic, though the audio could've been a bit better!

Really great clicker game. I loved the way the sound was generated by the game - and I had a blast playing it.

The game is very cool! The ASCII graphics are nice :) I wish it were longer!

Nice idle game. The artwork is very stylistic - I am curious if you experimented heavily with the art?

Developer(+1)

It went through some iterations and was very much inspired by tmux.

Great game that fits the theme well and is really fun and balanced for what you play in the jam. Love the ASCII art style. Great work!

Submitted

A game that is easy to spend a lot of time on. I played a version before the jam ended and again after the jam. I'm glad you added the tool tips and extra other items. The research section gave me a laugh. Does researching do anything for the trains and loops though? 

Developer

It gives you a big money boost, once all research is completed.

Amazing game! I especially liked how the game opens up possibilities gradually (maybe this is a feature of this genre?). Completed in about 20 minutes.

I also liked ASCII graphics and pleasant palette.

The sound can get boring, of course, but it turns into a kind of melody-soundtrack!

Mega game!

Yep, that’s a pretty common thing with incremental games! If you liked this, I’d recommend checking out Candy Box 2 (https://candybox2.github.io/candybox/) and/or Universal Paperclips (https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/)

Just wanted mention some of my favourites :)

Developer

I never actually played these … maybe I should try them too

Submitted

I definitely recommend Candy Box 1 and Candy Box 2. To this day, they are still very fun and unique. A different take on the clicker theme.

Incremental games have always been my favorite.

I like the idea that sound adding up became music and with time new layers are added

So fun. The ASCII is AMAZING. So, so good.

Me click. Numbers go up. Me smile.

Addictive! Loved the ASCII artstyle.

“Clever use of the loop theme! Addictive and mysterious—had fun replaying it to uncover more. Great job!”

Submitted(+1)

Very addictive. I'm astonished by how good the UI looks.
