What do you mean I can pet the cat? Lmao. A decent clicker in a pleasantly coherent package, though I wish the lo-fi beats to get a heat stroke to played for longer than 14 seconds ;-; I was not used to the upgrade requirements descending, but it was offset by making them progress linearly and giving notifications. I had fun!
i should've get more music yeah
I liked the twist and reverse type of incremental, sometimes problems with clicking on the phone, but it's rather a minor minus
Nice twist on a clicker! I feel like a small tutorial might help, since I only noticed the motivation meter at the very end when it was going up a bunch, but it's simple enough that most people can probably figure it out without big paragraphs. Great work!
Fun incremental (or, I guess, de-incremental) game!!
Enjoyment: 4/5
It's mostly a clicker game, with a kinda rough start which then smoothens out and kind of ends up finishing a lot quicker than you'd expect. I like the addition of environment-related trivia questions though!
I feel like having the upgrades give a more "visible" output would be good. sometimes you don't really understand what an upgrade did until a while later.
Creativity and Theme: 4/5
I guess the fan spins, and that's the main focus of the game, but there could've been some more direct spinning involved imo. Still not bad :D
Visuals: 3/5
The art is alright, I just feel that the visuals could use a bit more polish. Everything feels a little stiff, but, again, it's really not that bad.
Audio: 3/5
Same as the visuals, it's okay but i feel like you could have more going on with sound effects, but it's alright.
Seriousness: 5/5
Global warning is indeed a serious topic.
FINAL RATING: 3.5/5
It's a cool little project, but I feel like it could use some more work. Still a very nice and relaxing entry! :D
Most clickers are just boring to me but this one was kinda fun. Pretty satisfying "Numbers go down" game about a fans, fans of the fan, and child labor. Visuals are nice, audio is pretty much just sfx mostly, I am overall glad to have stuck around for like 2 minutes to finally see the fan spin faster and faster, and then got fired ig? Very serious game of course, no doubt on that.
Very cute and cozy

This game is quite cute, and I love the concept of it! I enjoy the fact that there's trivia questions, although they were a little tough for me haha. The upgrade system felt weird though, I would like it if I got to choose an upgrade instead. Overall, neat idea and quite polished for what you have, but could've expanded on the mechanics a bit
What a charming game!
It’s a shame the kitty becomes useless towards the end. Because of that, I had to treacherously stop tapping him :(
I also would have liked a bit more gameplay. I was hoping the game would follow the path of "Universe of paperclips" and we’d cool down the universe!
But for a game jam, it’s a good game.
he's still important as the emotional support kitty
yeah, i would have done that if i had more time
My plan was to go further and freeze the earth but alas I was stopped by unemployment
Budgets cuts are everywhere
Loved the theme, I just wish there was a few more mechanics. Also those questions were really hard I only got 2 right haha!
understandable they are kinda hard X)
Sick game! I played during playtests and its cool how you added extra things dotted around the office. I like the quizzes too :D
noice, you game was awesome too
Super cute art and very cozy atmosphere and vibe. A great and calming game overall. + star for the cat.
thank you, that's what i was going for :)
The background is really well made, and the game is actually pretty fun and calming to play. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great work!
thanks a lot, yeah i wanted it to be cozy
its a great damn game no complaints cute artstyle and good game idea loved it perfect small little game for the jam very peaceful and cool, i'm a fan
thanks, i'm pretty proud of it :)
I'm a big fan of games that let you use child labour and pet cats.
that's a true gentleman, what are we without child labors and cat
Cute fun little clicker! Mandatory pet the kitty bonus points. I think some of the temperature unit conversions were off though I’m too Fahrenheit pilled lol. I do agree with another commenter that a little extra something to do would’ve pushed this this to be pretty great.
I might have done weird conversions with farenheit for sure as i'm using Celsius
the quizz was my last addition to add something but yeah maybe i could've add one more thing
Probably the most serious game in this very serious game jam. I feel like another commenter pointed out the one thing I was expecting, maybe some color change of the background based on the heat as a visual feedback.
the color does change based on the heat, i was wondering if people noticed that, apparently not
yeah i think it's a pretty important matter :)
thanks
i really liked the visuals and the biology questions. it feels a bit empty or that something is missing maybe a little bit more polish would do the job. nice game
thanks for the review, i'll keep that in mind for another time
