Super simple game but still fun, as many other suggested this could be a nice starting point to expand the game with strange powerups, different objectives or other crazy things happening while you click like your life depends on it!

Simple yet fun! It's a great starting point and has a lot of potential. I think there's still plenty to explore with the concepts of buttons and countdowns. What if buttons could break? What if breaking a certain number of buttons unlocked new modes or power-ups? Could there be different ways to press them? Could you move the buttons around? Could they control lights, machines, or other facilities? The possibilities go on and on, and I think this kind of playful experimentation is what makes incremental games so fun to discover.

Overall, great job!

Oh god, the ending so cheap. But have... to... keep.... GOING!

I loved the game. The scaling I think was a little too fast at first and once you reach this point it slows down with no way to get it fast enough to keep up(its still fast) other than that great game!

Can't go wrong with a clicker, that was fun!

A nice little game, but there isnt anything that makes it stand out from other incremental games. Also there not being music and the button click sound effects are really annoying.

Developer(+1)

Right, I wish I had added more elements. Thanks for the honest feedback and thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

This was something. The only thing that was a "negative" was the volume of the soundeffects. I had some music playing in the background and it was fully drowned out by the constant click sound at the end.

Developer

Yeah there are too many sound effects,  But I wanted make button clicking more fun. I aimed for that feeling where it clicks so fast that it seems broken, but you think, 'Wait, this actually works.' Thanks for playing.

This game is all I know now.

I click, it means nothing. I struggle to breathe, the incessant thumping and clinking sucking the air from my lungs. I click again, still nothing. I upgrade button power, hoping for daylight to shine through on the encroaching darkness. I weep as it only hastens my decent.

thump

thump

thump

clink!

thump

I continue, even though my trackpad has worn away. My family has left me. The power has been turned off to my home. The neighbors have called for a wellness check.

thump... the sound is now my nightmare. My consciousness. My soul.

thump

I scroll the upgrades. A billion? I can do that... right? right?!?

I click again. And again. And again.

Developer

Lol, you described that so perfectly. Thank you for playing!

I loved this one 😊 Would've loved to see it just keep going!

If I expand it further, I want to add prestige at a certain number milestone and other fun systems. Thanks for playing.

Submitted(+1)

such an amazing game, it really activated my neurons with all the numbers increasing

Developer

I think that's exactly what makes the incremental genre so charming. Thank you for playing.

It's a button-pressing game, so I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't just face-roll my keyboard (just kidding)! I really love the game's musical feedback, and those moments every time it speeds up and auto-presses.

Developer

I hoped the automatic clicking moment would be really fun, and I appreciate you recognizing that. Thanks for playing.

Submitted(+1)

Thanks for that ! the game is so cool! I love one-button games.

Developer

Haha, honestly, I did consider adding more buttons so you could press them with the keyboard. Thank you for playing.

This was a very enjoyable submission to play, the gameplay and game feel in particular were both fantastic and the game was a unique interpretation of the theme. Also being an incremental game, the same genre as my own submission, I can understand the effort that went into creating the formulas for progression such as the cost of the upgrades and button clicks required to get the money. I enjoyed this a lot!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

It's my first incremental game, and balancing the formulas was tough. I wanted the game clicks the button automatically after the specific moment, but that made it too easy. So I spent hours clicking the button myself and tweaking the numbers. It was hard, but I enjoyed it. Thanks for playing.

Be warned this game is addictive. Great execution! The game is very polished and the feel is great! Kinda reminds me of that Vsauce experiment where they give people a button that electrifies them and they press it out of boredom anyway fun game!

Developer

I hadn't thought of that, but it's a really interesting idea. Thank you for playing.

Submitted(+1)

I was wondering if someone else would have an idea like this. It's a fun one, clean, simple, and juicy, and the positive encouragement at the beginning is a very cute touch.

Developer

I expected a lot of similar ideas to come up, and I was worried I wouldn't finish in time while trying to create some differences. So, I focused on the juicy and the fun of seeing the numbers increase automatically in the late game. Thank you for playing.

I noticed the upgrade button embarrassingly late...  Simple and well-built little game, with some clear love for the details and the juice (which is what carries a game like this).  Well done!

Developer

I should have highlighted the upgrade button. I knew it wasn't very visible, but I thought the text conversation would make it clear enough. Thanks for playing anyway!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game I really like the juice of clicking the button. Simple but I got addicted.

Developer(+1)

Juicing up the buttons was the first thing I considered and tested. Thanks for playing!

It's a great game.

It was an funny combination of Incremental Game and the Theme of the year.

The art is simple, but it fits the theme, and the sound was fun.

Thank you for your hard work.

Developer

Thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate you playing.
