Super fun! I missed the voting window on this one, but I played it for around an hour! I even kept playing after I maxed out all the stats. Great work!

Thanks, your anti-fishing game was top 5 for me

I jumped in not knowing what I was up to. 10 minutes later I,m grinding my ass off to max out all stats (page is still open i am not giving up yet) 

Congrats on the entry!

Okay, I’m really thankful that this game is short — because if there were more content, I’d definitely lose my job from getting addicted to it. I’ve never done any drugs, but after playing this, I imagine they must be as addictive as this game!

Jokes aside, EXCELLENT GAME — FUN, and ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

Digital crack lol I liked your puzzle platformer too

Submitted(+1)

this was fun!! i really liked how easy on the eyes it was despite there being a method to the madness. it took a second to get used to, but after i did it as really fun! 

Developer(+1)

glad you liked it

Submitted(+1)

The gameplay is simple but elegant, and outstandingly addictive. It is only a shame that the upgrades have to end. If you do an update after the jam ends, I think it would be cool if you added a final super expensive upgrade that lets you go critical on the other upgrades and push them past their limits at maybe like an exponential price multiplier per level. It would be so gamebreaking but also so fun XD

Developer(+1)

Good idea! Maybe a prestige upgrade 

Submitted(+1)

Simple but insanely addicting and fun! Really liked the black holes and upgrades!

Developer

Yeah they were a late jam addition, adds a bit of interest in the mid game and a reason to use up all your clicks

Developer

Thanks!

This was so fun i was addicted ! And the popping sound was just way to satisfying ! 

If you're down check out the game i made with my team of egg !

Infinite Body Problem

Your game looks so coool!

Submitted(+1)

NICE! Very satisfying gameplay, enjoyed it thoroughly

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Very satisfying game.

It's just so simple but the loops work so well. I like how rounds start out really short and it feels very addictive. I would love to have seen some extra polishes such as sound effects when you click or some visual effects. I would have loved to see the game turn becomes automatic a bit quicker than the current pace, but I think it depends on the players' preference.

Overall a very nice game, good job!

Developer(+1)

You didn't hear any sound effects?

Submitted

I just checked the game out again and indeed it has a sounds effect when you click, but I think it was too quiet compared to the popping sounds, and it was just not a good satisfying sound overall, considering that's what you spend your time doing in the game :)

On the other hand, I was quite surprised to see that the game saved my progress from the last session, instead of wiping all the data when you close the game? That's really good design and I can see people coming back to the game to play it a lot of times, so good job on that :D

Like how it feels like popping bubbles!

Developer(+1)

satisfying like popping bubble wrap!

Submitted(+1)

The wonders you can pull with simple shapes.

The only thing I thought about when finishing the game is that I wish there would be more.

Developer

leave em wanting more 

Submitted(+1)

was very cool! this type of game isnt my favorite genre, but idk i had fun with this game, great job!

Submitted(+1)

I was lowkey confused in the start but as I upgraded I was addicted ahah amazing game so much fun!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for checking out my game!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Super cool game! It was very addicting, I told myself that  I needed to stop multiple times so I could play other games but I kept playing this. It was also a well thought out game! The upgrades made sense and were not aggregiously.

Developer

Thanks for playing. I liked your puzzle game

Submitted(+1)

Nice, a fellow incremental game submitter. In all seriouness, really incredible job on the game feel. The game starts a bit slow, but when massive chains add up and the game effects go wild it's very pleasuring. Simplicity really is key sometimes! Also, I'd say you done better job on the game balancing than I did on my game lol, upgrade prices and progression can be surprisingly hard

Developer

Thanks, yeah incremental game balance is the hardest part lol.

I'm running your game in another tab right now lol

Submitted

So simple yet so much variety! This is a game I could get lost in for hours! This is making me honestly relive my flash game nostalgia. Definitely you should polish and post this for a mobile app. I can see people get lost in this for hours on end.

Very nice Entry! Keep it up!

Developer

Thanks. I'll def consider it

Oh my goodness! I mean what is there to say that others haven't? Its so simple and absolutely amazing! I think you really have something amazing here and you should experiment with this idea more 100%. I think even the graphics are basically perfect really. haha. Maybe you could make it look more like a 'terminal' but really I don't have much to offer in terms of what could really be done better, its really perfect as is! haha. 

The only downside I noticed was lots of clipping in the audio, but thats just a minor thing, and honestly it actually fits the vibe of the game quite well (like radiation clicks), so even that just fits. lol. Simply incredible! Bravo!!

Make this a mobile app game ASAP and watch the ad revenue pour in! haha. I would play this so much between doing my daily activities. haha. Great work!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah the clipping is a web player issue, it's fine in the download. something to address in the future probably EDIT also the game is playable on mobile cos it's touch responsive but we might do a native app some time

Submitted(+1)

honestly it actually fits though. Haha. So should you update it, you should definitely stick with the clicks "Geiger counter" vibe. Haha. 

Either way, fantastic work again! I wish I had this level of design skill. Expertly crafted! :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah def incorporate geiger counter clicks in there somewhere
