"Waiting as fast as possible" is such a funny way to do an incremental game like this. Well done.

Cool take on the theme, i'm glad to see some well made clicker games
Only thing that bothered me is that it stops to congratulate you every 24h which gets annoying when you get that much in one second lol

Developer

INCREDIBLE
I'll be honest...the scope of the game was just to get you scaling fast enough to finish the first 24 hours in a reasonable time to ask someone to sit down and play a jam game, so everything that comes past that is kind of an afterthought lmao.  Maybe after the jam ends, the final goal can be to wait for the total heat death of the universe in 10100 years :D

I'd love to see that if you end up making it :)

(although maybe also nerf daydreaming its super easy to get it to 0s cooldown and ridiculous output lol)
