Fun, but the mouse felt laggy on my computer. Not sure if it's optimization, sensitivity, or just my computer being crap.

This is SO addictive; thank God it's short.

This is just another Nodebuster clone without any original features that makes the gameplay loop more exciting than the others. I was able to get all upgrades very quickly because the game is seemingly not balanced at all.

Fun lil game. all the sounds and small animations & vfx made it feel quite polished gameplay wise. 

You already mentioned about the balance and aye after some couple upgrades suddenly the whole screen stayed cleared as everything got popd when they appeared on screen. But honestly, for a game jam it's to be expected, requires a lot of iteration to crunch those numbers.


I am quite new to incrementals as a player and as a developer, so out of curiosity was this your first rodeo or have you done incremental games before?

Hey, thanks a lot! Yeah unfortunately didn't have time to finish the balancing ^^

This was our first try at incremental games, so likewise we're fairly new to the genre

Fun and satisfying! Not sure how it fits with the theme though! 

The balancing felt like it ramped up too quickly at the end (I think you're aware of that because you mentioned something similar in your game description). I also noticed that the upgrades/continue buttons' hit boxes were maybe a bit off? I think you could only click on the top half of the buttons, which made them feel like they weren't properly responsive until I realized where to click.

Really nice visuals and sounds.

Hey! Yeah, a few annoying bugs + balancing  that we spotted just before the deadline but didn't have time to submit another build :p

Thanks for playing and for reporting these!
