Good job on finishing ur game! It kinda of took me off guard, cause I wasnt expecting it to be an incremental game

Loved the visuals and the song

Developer

It was my first time making one, so I'm glad you liked it!

I loved the visuals! I had issues with getting the jellyfish to work in a way that was sustainable before i could afford upgrades, not sure why since others don't seem to have the issue. The music loops a little weirdly which is very noticeable since it's a short loop lol. Big fan of everything being cardboard like that, feels so textured.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! It's never explained but the 25 upgrade is basically mandatory to generate a bunch of energy, I'm actually so bad at balancing these things lol, glad you enjoyed the visuals!

Really fun incremental game! I think once you get your setup complete waiting for 999 energy takes just a little bit too long, but that's really just a nitpick and doesn't need to be changed.   Very serious and cute, great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you still liked it :)

Ohhh reminded me to insaniaquarium ^_^ The cardboard artstyle was very unique and cute!!

Developer(+1)

My inspiration actually was the Zombiquarium minigame from PvZ, so really spot on! Glad you liked it :)

Submitted(+1)

yooo, i've finish the game, your cardboard style is pretty cool and the story was a big silly show, like it, there are just 2 little issues : the font is difficult to read and when we got a baloon in hand we can also have de circle tornado in . congrats

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! And yes I knew about the multiple things in hand issue, this game turned out into a bit of a buggy mess, glad you still like it :)

Cozy! at first I was like idk what to do with this octopus, are they villain? but they are smiling though. I just build more octopus turn out they are the source of electric. Putting that 999 is good! so I know when to end.

This banner is happiness.

btw, artwise, this is first time seeing someone superimposed / blend paperlike with pixel arts. What a smart technique.

Octopi are the goodest of heroes, glad you liked it!

Incredible visuals and art style, also very fun use of the theme!

The game was fun to play, especially once there's a decent number of upgrades on the screen. It does seem to be possible to softlock yourself by going all in on octopi in the upgrades though. Not really a huge issue, but something to keep in mind if you develop this further (even if you just add a lose-state).

Great experience overall.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback, I noticed the softlock too late and the octopi sometimes go out of bounds too. Learning steps for me. Glad you still liked it!
