I loved cranking it in this game! really fun implementation. I wish it was properly explained that if I crank the main wheel slowly it doesnt heat up as much and can squeeze out more energy, as at first i was spinning as fast as possible hoping it generated more energy, but I figured out later it does not work like that. Some additional little minigames like the paper shredding would have also been nice! and is there any point to signing the papers?
actually you could shred the paper on the shredder on the left, Although it wasnt explained q q, thats on my part. Im glad you liked it!
Oh what thoughts u must have had while cranking your gear stick.
Have a sympathy rating from me for this dark humour XD.
Straight up crankin' it at work
Fun incremental game, loved the easter egg!
Out of all the cranking games, this had the most satisfying cranking for me. I finished the game by mistake forgetting to check what happens at the right door with juniperdev :'(((. The only concern is that i wasnt able to find out why the instructions said to keep the doors closed. and what it meant
Yeah, ehe.. it was a last detch installment to having a closing door while the lights are on, since i didn't have a gameover screen. Essentially if the lights are out for too long, the doors would open and you would be mulled to death by a monster (juniper)
Very fun serious and with a nice art style, nice
Fun and cute. Great audio and visuals. I liked cranking! Honestly, I wish I could have done more cranking! Shredding paper was especially fun. I could imagine an entire game where you have to keep shredding paperwork from a shady company, that would function basically like scritchy scratchy except you would do this and spin the paper through. I really enjoyed this game, thank you for making it :)
Tung tung sahur
Really awesome!! The art and animations are so good. It was pretty addicting, and I love the idea
Great game, great visuals, great progression! Maybe it did seem very easy nearer the end, where really I had everything, but then once it got to that stage I was able to complete the game anyway.
Maybe the only thing I would say could improve is the speed at which paper comes out, because it is painfully slow. Other than that small thing, I can't find any faults. Well done!
Super addicting loop, also really loved the visual style. Only problem is I have to go to work tomorrow and I feel slightly depressed.
very solid and well made
Pretty good game, very well made. There is nothing i can say for feedback to improve!
10/10 game, 5 stars on all counts. Could use some more juice and Quality of life, like gear hook snapping in the shreder and paper animation when paper is shreded. Also I was waiting for Juniper to come inside but it never happened :(
Super super cool game - great visuals, nice polish, great progression. One of my faves so far.
First off, Visually stunning. Love the artwork throughout the game. It took only a few moments to understand how everything worked, and when I got it, it was very fun to play. I like what the printer also for some reason required a crank, just to stay on theme. At then end of the day, giving this a very high rating, especially in the seriousness department. LOVE IT
one of the better incrementals ive played. Wish there was some background music
It's so ironic to see the same game idea, but in a different genre and perspective.
First of all, I want to say this is a REALLY interesting game. I spent over half an hour playing it without getting tired, genuinely enjoying the gameplay and visual style.
There were a couple of moments where I wasn't sure what I was doing (I still didn't quite understand the paper thing, since it doesn't tell me how much I'm earning or what I'm earning for), but those were momentary issues that quickly passed, and I continued enjoying myself and earning money.
Of all the games I've seen so far at this jam, this one truly hooked me. 100% one of the best.
I have never played Incremental games thought they werent my type, this was first one,I played it till I max everything and I just realized i was wrong about this genre. Amazing artwork, sound effects, perfect use of theme. Great work!
