How does your game represent "Slick"?
Originally, several stages were planned in which festival goers would generate money and score based on how "dazzled, mesmerised, fascinated and awestruck" they were - with different types of fireworks garnering different positive reactions. A skill tree and shop would also allow you to level up your firework workshop and even buy sparklers, catherine wheels and other floor fireworks to further captivate the populace. This would have been the inspiration from the theme - with slick being interpreted as "cool, awesome and mesmerising"
Unfortunately, these werent added to the game due to time constraints - only the intial firework maker is avaliable. So Just enjoy the individual fireowrks you make. If you are struggling please check out the game page for instructions on how to make your firework...!
I JUST REALISED I DIDNT SAY THAT WHEN YOU ARE LAUCNHING YOUR FIREWORKS - THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE HOLD LEFT CLICK AND SPACE BAR TO FIRE!!!!!!

I like the artstyle but couldn't manage to get the controls right it seems
I managed to make and name some fireworks (I think)
The concept is very original, you did a great job with it!
Should you continue this project, I'd like to see what you've planned for it, because from what you've written, it sounds promising :)
But maybe dumb it down a little, so players like me can understand, what's going on here :D
I liked that you could name your fireworks but like many others said it took some time to understand how the controls work. Very visually pleasing. Nice job!
the art is really good and i see the vision here and its great, but this game is confusing in every step of the way lol. i have no idea how fireworks are actually made, it took some trial and error, and then i think i did everything right until the part of naming the firework shell, then i did not know how to fire it even with the instruction of holding left click and pressing the space bar
Honestly, this is a great first attempt! The art is really nice and I love the idea. I wish that the game window was bigger or there was a way to play in full-screen. It was very hard to see what I was doing, so while I was able to make the fireworks just fine, I couldn't figure out how to launch them (which I'm sure is the best part). Some music/audio would have been nice too. I love how chill this is though. Nice work!
I have justrealised I didnt mention anywhere that to fire the firework - you need to hold left click and press the space bar!!
I couldnt really figure out how to do anything, maybe I dont know enough about fireworks - the game window was tiny for some reason and it felt like all the things mentioned in the description must have been offscreen somewhere? Not bad for a first game though, needs a little bit of music maybe
By "Originally" - I meant that if I had the time, I would have made the stuff mentioned in the description, butunfortunately time didnt allow it. Tbh it isnt a finished game, and im not sure if I can even call it a game. But im proud of what i've done so I uploaded it anyway - not uploading would have felt lame and too anti-climatic!!
Also I'm literally just downloading your game now I'll giove you a comment and rating soon!!
It was quite hard at first to grasp what I was doing but the art and overall atmosphere were charming enough to make me stay and understand the game a little more. Overall it's impressive work for a first time, congrats!
That's actually cute)
Hi this was very cute! I also got a little stuck, but had a fun time messing around with stuff until it worked
This is actually a really great game! I think I bobbled the assembly part and couldn't figure out how to finish it.
Fun time and great first go at making a game. Hope you keep it up!
the art and UI are very well done! for being your first game I'd say this is a success
