Love the art, wish the waves didn't clip into the sand and the extensions you bought felt more connected to the background though. Was there a win state? There was a timer but it was at 0 for me and did nothing. Very straightforward gameplay with a funny opening!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. There is a win state but it takes a long time ( about 1 hour ).  The timer is for the sandwich that appear every 3-5 min.  Like the golden cookie in cookie clicker. It's just increase the sand castles production.  I did this in a rush so i couldn't make this more interesting lol. Your game looks very cute too.

Art is good.
Idea is good. 
Theme and Limitation are met.

But there is a room for improvement in gameplay. I totally understand the time limitation and scope control. Just providing friendly feedback :)

Developer

Totally understand man. Thanks for the feedback.

I feel like the gameplay is a tad bit boring, even as an idle clicker. Mainly the fact that there's no special "rewards" and you can already see all the endgame stuff (all they do is provide more sand castle production).

Also, I'm not sure why the upgrade UI has a progress bar that takes so freaking long, it's kinda annoying.

The theme was met, the art is perfect, and the audio is great for this game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.

Nice game! Funny that you can use sandcastles to buy bros to help you lol.

Developer(+1)

The more sandcastles you build, the more bros come to help you on your quest. They don't need food or water. All they need is to build sandcastles. PEAK MALE ACTIVITY.

All of your art was so cute! Along with incredibly satisfying dithers :) Your UI was crisp, well done!

Developer(+1)

You too bro. Your art is amazing.

Cool game! Can't believe I got no infinite money irl :(

Developer

Sad new man. There is no infinite money in this reality too :(. There is only sand.

I'm not into cookie clicker type of games, but it would be more enjoyable if I felt my ''clicks'' had more visual feedback. Cute game tho!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I did plan for it but i didn't have enough time to do it. Your game visual is pretty cool too.

Submitted(+1)

I would've like a little bit more feedback to know if my things are going up, how much, juice, vfx ect. Would've made it a really high quality game since the rest is already good. Overall good stuff!

Developer

Thanks. I did plan to do something like that but i just busy with work recently so i scrap it lol. Love your game too.

A cool game that hooks you and makes you want to keep playing,  it's really well done.

The sprites are really cute and the music is really nice too!

Developer(+1)

Thanks. Your game is very cute too.

Well done! I think making the cursor upgrades more useful in the early-game might have made the waiting more fun. I might just have a short attention span.

Great art, well executed game. Good job all around.

Developer

Thanks.

Quite cute incremental games, quite a bit of waiting but I guess it’s part of the genre. Pretty charming art and music as well, the animation looks pretty cute.

Though I think the cursor upgrade is quite bad, since it’s not really that great clicking actively I think?

Edit: Just figured out the cheat button lol

Developer(+1)

Thanks. I put the curser upgrade as a joke hehe. I see that you found the faux in-app purchase. It does nothing, just to waste your time hehe.
