Clicker games might not be a perfect fit for a jam, but it's crazy addictive.
Really like this game's art style, it's really, really funny. Only thing I'd recommend is allowing the player to spend power to upgrade the wheel, and each item to have a couple tiers of upgrades.
Good job to all of you. The graphics and animation are lovely, and although I am a tad tired of clicker games, this one fits the theme and is quite original!
Im going to 100% your game. Watch live @ twitch.tv/yuukidemura

10/10 game
Kinda cute and fun art style. The idea for the theme is nice, and matches well with a 'clicker' game. Nice choice of music (it increases the game humor), tho, I'll avoid rating the audio cause I couldn't quite get the 'other' sounds.
Well, it was unexpected this kind of game. Nice job :3 (Just sad that you need to have the screen focused to count the auto-generate resources :< At least in the web version)
Finally an original clicker game ! Really funny and right on theme, I really enjoyed it. Now I have to let my mouse cool down...
I love the premise and the art is wonderful. I do feel like you need to tweek your numbers a bit though. I had to use an auto clicker to really get anywhere in the game.
Really fun visuals :) Maybe a bit slow for a clicker, but that's very subjective.
The numbers really need tweaking (unless there's something I missed), but overall a really good-looking and innovative clicker.
This game is so adorable, but I really wish that the hamsters would make a noise when clicked. Really funny as well
I really enjoyed the visuals! And the addictiveness of a clicker game ahhh.
Addictive but I don't want RSI :p nice art and anims, very cute.
I really like clicking games, I'm a bit addicted to them so I have it open in another window right now xD
I loved the art! It is really funny and beautiful, I missed a "squeak" or some sound when you click the hamsters but the music is nice and the sound effects are OK.
Nice job! I really enjoyed it
Awesome! Graphics are way too cute and funny :) Without spoiling, Franklin was the best! Maybe some little noises could be added like squeals. I really loved the game, it is addictive. A clicker game is probably not the best game for a computer but you should definitively make a mobile app, it will be the new game of the year if you add clickers and sounds on all the hamsters ;) Really funny and amazing graphics again :) And great final twist!
Really nice graphics, love the animations !
I finished it XD The graphics and sounds were nice but the gameplay needs to be balanced. Since the click gain gets too low compared to time gain, it becomes negligible after sometime and it become more tempting to let the game finish itself (I actually left the tab and went to do other things, while checking the progress every once in a while). Still it is really fun IMO.
A simple but efficient clicker ! The graphic style and the music are cool too, good job !
A very funny clicker ! I like the graphics; all the references are hilarious and the musics are awesome (specially the sanic one)
I liked the graphics and the music was neat. It's abit embarrasing but I did not get that I had to buy a wheel for like 5 min. Restarted the game three times before I got it. Maybe that could have been there at the start of the game?
Hahaha! Simply, but funny, very funny! INDEED!!! Those hamsters and their different costumes! I like it!
Nice clicker game with a fun flash art.
Cute graphics and I like the background music. But where am I "running out of power"? Is the hamster going to fall out of his wheel when exhausted?
Cute hamsters. I mostly let it run in the BG and was thankful clicking was only really needed in a few sections. Did get 6/6 achievements tho. Nice one.
A simple clicker with funny art, which drives me to continue clicking :D
For a clicker, this was great. The graphics and animations were so good that I left the game running while rating other games so that I could get to the next level without breaking my finger or mouse. Btw, poor Franklin!
Half-way through the game now, some things:
- The art and music were great! Though the music got repetitive pretty fast.
- Not bad for Humor-ness, there were times where I pushed air out of my nose in rapid succession. The whip and ugly sonic was unexpected. The scientist was adorable.
- After clicking on the engineer...a lot of times, it starts looking like ...pardon me, the male sexual organ. Not sure if you want that when people have to stare at it for a reaaaalllly long time. The head bobbing doesn't help in this case too.
- The left/right buttons should disappear or fade out more when you can't go anymore in that direction.
Half-way + 40 mins:
- This is taking some time, I really wished there was something more to do. Interactables or something. Like snuffing out and relighting the candlefire. Stopping the wind turbine blades. A ball to play with. Whatever. I just don't want to see head bobs anymore.
You did a great game congratulations.
Add some passive power gain and it'd make a great app game!
I've not seen another clicker type game so far this jam. I love the graphics, especially the way the engineer jolts awake when you poke it. The intro is, of course, perfect as well. Thunder storms - every gamer's worst nightmare ;) I don't think I have the stamina to get all the way to the end, as I have stiff hands, but this was a ton of fun. I'll be off buying a new mouse now.
