this game looks great and it is!
Congrats on your first game / game jam! This has a super unique art style / look with the bold black and red. I think some of the major upgrade balancing was a bit off. Sometimes, as soon as I got to a level, it felt like I could already move on to the next one. But that may have just been that I grabbed a weird order of minor upgrades. I liked Admin!
I like the red static visual of the game. It's really interesting.
Really fun and creative
Spins the spindle. "Yes, you grinding wheat". Oh ok.
Very interesting spindle game, ended up having it moving on its own tho.
Cool minimalist art style!
Also, I like the dystopian commentary from "Admin".
It adds a lot of personality to the experience.
Thanks. glad you like. Spincrements and Spindel that need to be new game genre lol
fun game !! i enjoyed the monochrome visuals, it was a nice aesthetic! good job !!
i enjoyed my time with this one. i think maybe the wheel itself could've been centered or something, as it was very prone to not spinning when i wanted it to.
Thanks for playing and feedback.
I liked the coloring and the art style of everything. I wish I didn't upgrade the last time because I could spin it faster manually lol
super fun and on theme for the game jam!
I will tell admin to spin faster next time lol. Anyway thanks for playing
I honestly love the 1-bit art style and cookie-clicker style narration. Super fun incremental game. Solid work for your first game jam man!
thanks for playing and kind word
Interesting one, kinda eerie
I like the style
The use of color and silhouette was very striking and I like how it was flush with the itch page. Besides that, marginally more interesting than your typical auto clicker game and the audio was kinda annoying, could've maybe used some upgrade sounds or something, cute game!
thanks. yea audio is not easy.
A decent game! I like the commentary from the little fella up there, though the incremental loop is kinda janky, the controls to grab the spinner to spin could use some work as it sometimes takes a while to accept my mouse inputs and also with the fact that the audio of spinning gets repetitive quick and is quite jarring when it auto stops one you stop spinning, but besides that visually its a pretty nice looking monochrome game, nice job!
thanks for the comment. noted
Let's say that the game became self aware lol. Very cool! It had me hooked. What does the Gear upgrade actually do btw?
thanks. the Gear upgrade Increase per spin. Lv 56 mean 1 spin = 56 spin point. thanks
Commentary was okay but I am in LOVE with the style:
- Solid incremental game, wouldn't say there's anything too novel about it, it might be a bit tad too involved for an incremental game
- The intentional use of just 2 colours is REALLY GOOD. I cannot stress how much I love the art in the game. Great vibes!
Thanks glad you like the art.
I may not have given it enough time to get interesting, but I gave up pretty fast. It looks interesting, and the commentary seems interesting, but I’m doing it on a laptop without a mouse, and that isn’t fun for my hands. If I could do it with a joystick, it’d probably be easier.
Thanks for playing. Sorry i forgot about laptop mouse pad. noted
Still rated well, because I can tell what its supposed to be like. Lol. Good job
Dopamine but also terror
Really love how existential the admin got at the end...
Very serious for my wrist !
I enjoyed it, might be good to add how much seriousness you are getting per spin
