I really liked the background, props to the artist on their work! It was also cool to see the city outside the window come back to life as you progressed. I wasn’t able to make it all the way to the end, but I had fun with my experience, good job!

It's unfortunate that if global avg. temperatures rose to 52 C that we wouldn't have any human live to operate the cosmic cooling fan, given we would all be cooked alive by that point...
A neat game with a straightforward and simple gameplay loop and message. It would've been nice to have links that fact check the facts you put in the questions (not that I doubt them, I just think it's helpful to provide further reading resources and credit your sources). Additionally, I wasn't really sure what the x10 motivation did...
Overall a good submission with a bit of work left to polish out the blemishes.
yup, this is obviously unrealistic and we should take care of our planet :)
Hmmmm, that is true, to be fair the answers are mostly averages i've seen because there isn't a clear line
yeah i should've put a popup for motivation, it's a speed multiplier for the fan, and for crit chance once you buy an upgrade
Cute little game, really enjoyed my time with it! Also really liked how you can press a cat on the wall to make it smile!
Love me an incremental game :) My poor finger from the tapping but hey, got to cool down the planet haha. Some ambient music might have been nice, but it's all good anyhow. The upgrades felt good, and once you get down to the last like 5, they got exponential and it felt super good. Cool game!
Good game! I got fired though. Like others have said, would be nice to see the correct answer to the trivia.
Definition of a Serious Game genre. Played well on the phone! Love trivia questions, though failed most of them and wanted to see what the correct answers were but never got them (maybe part of playing on the phone). Clicking the fan was nice and super relaxing. The game resonates greatly with most of people in the wake of sahara air current sweeping through european countries right now, making people ask the same question as in hour trivia quiz - what is the highest temp people can libe in with infinite amount of water. I guess we will see by ourselves!
REALLY enjoyed this premise (even if the overall concept is devastating), a clever and educational way to deliver a message. Well done!
cool(pun intended) concept, I love the little details like resorting to child labor only for it to turn out to be a bad thing lol and that motivation starts going up when you are near the end. my only question is, with a cosmic cooler that seems to be so effective what happens if you keep spinning it? 🤨
Really well paced incremental, the upgrades came at the right time and really changed how the game felt. A "hold to spin" mechanic would've been nice just to prevent how much you had to click, but being able to click the cat poster was fantastic and you did a good job overall!
Metagame cog 49/126
Loved this, super satisfying, but above all clicking the cat poster gives you motivation.... this is my GOTY
I like the climate change message, the combiation of very cute and soft artstyle, yet the music that sounds slightly like impending doom haha. some sound effects were a bit loud, at least because i had to increase the volume quite a bit to hear the music, and then got jumpscared when i got the question answer right 🫣 but maybe that is because i'm playing with speakers instead of headphones 😅 other than that, i enjoyed it, i'm not usually a fan of clickers and stuff, but this one feels more motivating to play since you are not gaining points for eternity, but rather are supposed to get to a more clear point. very serious game :)
Reverse incremental is really interesting, it's a good message too (we really are cooked), CANNON WLW representation is a W, i don't have much to say it's a good game that does what it wanted to do well!
I loved it, I always liked clicker games so this was fun, it wouldve been funner (I dont care its not a word Im making it one) if I could make the world go into an ice age
Cool Idea to make the Counter go backwards. It really motivates to see the number going down towards 0. I was a bit to supid for the questions though xD
And there is a Kitty <3
Pixel art is one thing I really love in any game. Like the concept but I picked the wrong answers XD which seem like skill issue
