I can't help it, I always get hooked on clicker games!
I loved the premise and the take on the theme, but I just hate cookie clickers, sorry :/
$5 for a textbook. This game definitely gets a 5 for humor.
Mmmm clicker games. Love 'em to death. Unfortunately, these puppies rise and fall on the ability to keep unlocking new things, and once you start getting employees, the game kind of breaks. Awesome entry, just needs some super expensive things that aren't upgrades! (Maybe super-powered employees qua different color dinos?)
Wow this was really fun and simple! :) I really like the graphics
hehe, fun clicker. Cool game!
I loved every bit of it!!!
Cool clicker game with funny story and nice graphics and sound. I didn't find any further upgrades or any hint for a goal to reach.
Hilarious! ANd cool art/music!
Just a heads up: employees seem to be making 10 bucks a second, not 1 as indicated on the status screen?
Hm, yes, the Icthyosaur are very reminiscent of De la Beche's drawings, a nice touch.
Nice art, I like those kind of games, it's quite fun to play
That was great
Nice clicker game! Reeeally funny, the spam in general but specially the animation of the employees. Awesome :D
Sorry this is not my kind of game. Nice music and the graphics are good but it gets boring pretty fast. Would be nice if you would know your goal...
That was fun and funny. Great graphics. :-)
Great look and actually gave a purpose to inane clicking. Nice work... you monster.
Nice! I loved the premise, and I particularly loved the animation of the employees.
Was there something I could click to go back and show my dad how wrong he was?
@JackDegree: oof, that's my mistake-- forgot a zero. Thanks for pointing it out.
@omaha: No, there's no ending.
@razavidn: Great suggestions. If I expand upon the game, I'd introduce floors of the office building, then buildings, then office parks, and so on for upgrading your $$$ exponentially.
Everyone else: BACK TO WORK!
RIP my mouse :( Brb, need to spam more!
Pretty sweet deal - some arbitrary goal would have been nice, just because I know you would've had a really funny scene where the hero one-ups his dad or something. I've been thinking about doing a clicker for some time, maybe you've finally convinced me to do so, Dear Friend! All I need is some start-up capital - please wire it to the following banc account number by expres cheque now!
I clicked so much that employees were $0 so I got 2k, and then I noticed my money freaking out! I kept wishing there were commas in the numbers because I felt dumb looking at big numbers and not knowing which one was bigger :P Anyway, the art is really really good, and you managed to make another really funny game!
Awesome job!!
Great fun, although after my second billion I started to get a little bored
Hello dear friend, this scamming-simulator is great! everything feels just right. The graphics are great, they remind me about the game "to build a better mousetrap". Every detail (email templates, employee curriculum, etc) is a big plus.
Thousand separators or other kind of number representation (such as 200K, 2M, etc) would make the game so much enjoyable towards the end. Other than that, congratz on this awesome entry.
Haha. At first, I thought "Spam-sending clicker game, funny" and was not planning to go very far... but then I thought "well ok, maybe just let me make enough to hire one employee" aaaand then the compulsion-loop snagged me. Good job! :)
Lol, funny game! :D
Nice! My only wish was for comma-separators in the numbers. And an ending.
Lots of fun! I actually had quite a few employees and had 4048 EPC!
Very funny story. The gameplay needs some additional balancing, but it already makes quite fun :) Graphics and audio is great, I also love the different e-mail texts :D
Is it possible to have 3 bosses like in the screenshot? I had all employers but hadn't see an option to get a new boss. Maybe I simply overlooked it or its an older sceenshot. Anyway nice game!
Addictive! And I felt evil the whole time I was doing it. Great entry!
You know what they say, the first $50 is the hardest. Nice game! Must have been either really enjoyable or really frustrating to write all that bad engrish. :D
Great take on the theme, very funny! Art style and music really matches the hilarity of the premise, kudos!
Funny idea! I included it in part 28 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/UzsNzPlW29s
