TBH this is peak gaming right here. Also using that meme as the base for a game is a low blow as I love memes. but yeah it's DAMN GREAT UNDER EVERY CATHEGORY. amazing work and really really fun (I played it in call with my bestie and I was tweaking)

Developer

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed :)

we can now solve world poverty

Developer

And look at him, he's still trying to go faster! 

Submitted(+1)

Update: we made it to infinite profit.

Developer

We should be able to solve more than world poverty now! Or is this the equivalent of inflation and actually we have made poverty a lot worse?

Why triangles, man :(

Developer

Who would you have done it to? 

Submitted

I hate squares

Developer

What is a square if not 2 triangles? 

Submitted

4 squares  = 1 biger square 

Developer

and that would be 8 triangles by now

Submitted

triangles are trying to impersonate squares to destroy their society from the inside, and i agree with this decision

Developer

at 2 to 1 ratio they surely will succeed 

Submitted

hope so

Submitted

Cool game, REALLY funny that there's no limit

I guess we doin idle games no limits

numbers
Developer

Hah yeah that looks a bit broken, the number prettifier appears to have just given up lol

Submitted

the fact that you need to constantly interact with the triangles make it less repetitive not like most idle games

Developer

Yes, it is unusual to not outsource all the labour almost immediately. Do you prefer it this way? Or do you wish you could hire workers to do it for you? 

Submitted(+1)

I think that without workers the player plays more,  it gives a twist to the classic idle formula, it makes the game more unique, I think you should keep it like that but there may be people who prefer playing an idle game that's  more idle 

Submitted

It's a very cool game, that's all that comes to my mind when I think about this game.

Developer

Well, thank you for sharing it :)

What a silly and cool game! I jammed to the music the entire time. I also absolutely adore this upgrade animation. I hope the worker's head wasn't too damaged after all these upgrades.

It would be cool to see a multi-conveyor mode, where maybe on other conveyors you need to remove other shapes

Developer(+1)

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the silly upgrade animation - it was actually an accident. When you clicked to remove a triangle, I needed him to lean over the conveyor belt to kick it off, but then that animation still triggered if you clicked above him too. I left it in because it looked funny, and then when I added the upgrade buttons, it worked out perfectly lol

Multi conveyor mode is a great idea, I'll add it to the list! Was there anything else? I love some good bossa nova music too

Submitted(+1)

Came because of the funny name, stayed because peak gameplay :D. The game is so simple but so fun, I love the art style and music a lot! I think you can make it fit the limitation more by making some objects (randomly) red and add another and/or condition of no red object. Other than that, I think this game is very polished, one of the best game for sure!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the name.

That's a great idea about making it fit the theme better, but I wanted to make some 'trick' shapes so that it would not be so obvious sometimes, and if I had used colours then that would have been more confusing, as it becomes less of a 'closer inspection' issue and more of a 'well idk, is that red?' thing

Submitted(+1)

Fair :) I think the game is hard enough with only green lol XD

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game :)

Developer

Thanks!

HAHAHAHA THIS IS A VERY FUN GAME! I think it should be in the top ten games!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I hope it will be 

Submitted

i hope too!

Really cool design.  Love the art.  I never really felt the need to speed up the belt though, that seemed like a bad thing to do cuz it would make seeing triangles harder.  So I just kept maxing profit and reducing loss and it got boring after awhile.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for playing!

Fair enough, the ability to speed up the belt is basically just customisation. But once you've reduced triangle loss to 0, that's when you can really invest everything into making it super fast, as there's no penalty anymore

Submitted

I like the "no triangles" idea, it make it so easy to add whatever else.  i would expand on this game!  really cool core concept.

Developer

Thanks! It's based on the meme, especially this iteration. 

What would you expand it to? 

Submitted(+1)

you could have other shapes

a source material thats making the shapes and upgrades for it (less triangles made)

you could add workers that have an upgrade-able chance to catch triangles or other shapes

colors could mean something and have different upgrades

you could have a factorio style belt that you have to architect your factory while you're playing the rest of the game.

Developer

Those are really such good ideas, thank you so much! I'll start a document. Anything else?
