Some honest, good fun. It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that you dragged towers out onto the field and not just clicked them. The necromancers nearly crashed the game multiple times

Creative but funny take on the theme :D Clicked because of the cover and player for much longer than I expected :) Great game!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you had fun!

Creative and despite the limited items, you can do some goofy stuff. Good clicker concept.

Developer

Thank you very much!

It's fun, I love good clickers. It's got potential!

Developer

Glad you had fun!

Unique and fun, could definitely use some balacing and more abilities, but overall I still played to the end because I liked making the numbers go up! Great job!

Submitted(+1)

that was fun - Nice concept. Could use some balancing, but good experience overall :D

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I had to sacrifice a lot of polish and optimization cause this was my first try at an incremental/clicker game and I had to dedicate a lot of time to playtesting and balancing. Thanks again for playing!

So satisfying hahaha

Loved this. Necromancer almost crashed my browser, and it was the best thing ever.

I really enjoyed this! Good game! And fun interpretation of the theme, lol!

I spammed the necromancer sooo hard that the game was running at 0.5 fps. That was soooooo fun.

Love the way it is designed. Hope the vampire is fed and happy with my job.

The Count is full like a water balloon! Thank you!

I loved this! I'm quite the fan of the genre so I might be biased but I think you made it really fun!As another comment said, probably increasing the prices in the last phases would have made for a more linear progression rate, but I actually really enjoyed the pace of it. I think it could easily become a full on game!

Great job!

Thanks! I've not played many incremental games myself (Cookie Clicker and The Gnorp Apologue mostly) So hearing from an incremental fan that I did well is a real boost!

Not really sure what was going on but I had fun nonetheless :)

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you had fun!

Okay I legit loved this one. The necromancer was a genius addition, it was so fun to use. The only thing is that towards the end game necromancer was causing the game to go at like 5 FPS :D  Also I feel like the prices of zappers should of increased the more you place, cause late game you can just perma spam them, since you accumulate blood way faster. Great submission!

Developer

Och, yeah I had to rush it a bit too much and ended up with the UI and optimisation in a place i'm not 100% satisfied with. thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you had fun!

Submitted

Pretty cool game! I love the necromancer, its a really cool feature, although a little OP lol. Just needs a little polish in some places!

Developer

Thanks!

Finally, a game that fulfills my greatest fantasy—getting a good night's sleep.

A fun game! When it started lagging, it actually seemed more fun :)

The little people are fun. Too bad the UI isn't as pretty.

I had a great time clicking people. Good job!

Developer

Glad my game was soporific enough for your tastes :D

Submitted(+1)

I had a weird bug where the game was only on a quarter of the screen, but I like the idea, and the art and music go well with it!

Developer

That's so strange.. I'll try to reproduce it, thanks for playing!

Submitted

I'm using a mac, don't know if that matters but it might

Super fun i love the scaling its all around super fun 10/10

Developer

Thank you that's really kind :D
