Good theming for the game. I thought it was just slightly too challenging to keep up with clicking to keep the windmill spinning at the beginning, my fingers got tired!

Yeah I get not everyone likes as much of a challenging game, especially for just a clicker during playtests I used multiple values for manual clicks to do to the timer, but anything more than what it is made it unlosable in my opinion. As soon as you buy the first 1-2 abilities you really dont even need to manually click anyway but maybe thats just my personal bias of liking more challenging games coming out
Cool game! I just wish there was a way to increase the timer with your clicks for the start since it felt very unforgiving. I did really like the story and had fun playing it! Great job!
Im curious as to what you mean by a way to increase the timer? If you click anymore than around 3 times a second at the beginning it does increase, I tried having it easier but across all the playtest sessions I found it was basically unlosable if it was any easier
Good game, although i wish there was an ability in the early game to increase the timer with each click slightly.
Thank you, The early game was designed to be a struggle though as soon as you get your first abilities you dont really need to keep clicking the mill manually, the burger ability increases the amount of time each click adds and the energy drink acts as an auto clicker. Without it being super hard to keep going early game in my experience it was way to easy and almost impossible to lose. Thanks again!
Fun clicking game. I wish my clicks increased the timer a bit more. Good job.
I like the idea and the story you put into this game and I can see you adding more progression to it. There was alot of clicking but it felt a bit too unforgiving if you stopped clicking for a moment after all the effort. But other than that great job on it!
Unique gameplay loop, a bit exhausting to keep clicking, but a nice entry!
A cozy game! It's got nice graphics, a soothing song, and an easily understandable gameplay loop. Good work!
Hey cool game! I loved the cozy vibe of it and the dog I would say is my favorite part! One thing is I wouldn't start with a huge wall of text and the desert is a little bland and hard to look at. Maybe just adding a few cacti here and there would help. Overall great game!
Trust me I hated the text walls just as much, As a solo dev theres a lot of features and scope that never made it and I was in a severe rush on the last day trying to tie everything together, The "Tutorial" was added with like an hour before the deadline, Thank you for playing!
Another incremental game, nice! I like this! Super simple and can end up with a bunch of stuff to click which is fun. Only thing I dislike is the speed at which the windmill goes down (since it's seconds). Made my finger hurt from so much clicking early on and to generally maintain it even with purchases lmao. Cool stuff tho!
Thank you! If I had a bit more time I had many more plans to make it harder to keep the time up early game besides solely clicking however I didnt have time to get them polished enough so I sort of just had to make it a bit harder click wise early game so it wasnt impossible to lose, thanks again!
great little game my clicking finer loves you right now lol i really like the touch on the audio of the you got mail !! i need more energy drinks lol
thank you!
Fun game, the ´´you got mail´´ sound was a nice surprise:D
Interesting idea, would have loved to see some more upgrades and progression!
great game, maybe too good as my finger hurts now :C
Very chill music and game, but I had difficulty clicking a lot. It was still fun tho :)
thank you! Yeah it’s meant to be kind of difficult until you buy your first ability
Very relaxing, I liked it. Although I think it would be far better if you make the click more slow. my finger hurts :c
Thank you! I did a decent amount of play testing with different speeds and values for the clicks themself, but realized if it was any easier to keep the timer up early game then it was close to impossible to ever lose. I did add abilities just for the fact that my finger was hurting as well without them, once you get the first 200 to buy an ability you shouldn’t have to manually click much at all
I though the menus don't actually pause the game at first haha. Could see this being expanded! Focusing even more on the multitasking aspect... I'm thinking making the click add a bit more to the timer so you don't click as often. Having to manage reading the mail, not letting the random encounters pass by and keeping your buildings running could be intresting.
Nice game! c:
Thank you! the original idea was instead of the mailbox for dialog I was meant to have actual character sprites walking on the road in which you had to manage time and decide which ones to talk to, I also wanted to have the "corporation" have "secret agents" that could make it harder for you to spin the mill as the game went on. As a solo dev scope creep hit pretty hard but I still plan on one more big update later on that reworks all the art and adds those things, thanks again!
I love the writing in this game, this is sick! And the animation of the bird flying is fire. I love the music choice too, this game is so so relaxing and makes me feel really happy :)
And I also love how all the things to collect keep adding up!
Thank you so much!
Pretty fun, and I love the story behind it too :)
Thank you!
the mailman sound freaked me out a bit hahaha, nice game
Lol, Thank you!
