Great little mix of idle and tactical, really fun, just needs a bit of polish and then release for smartphone :)

Nice cookie-clicker like ;) the early game is pretty slow though, but the end game definitely is fun!

I really liked it. With the permanent upgrades at the end it does give me the itch to play more and keep increasing everything

I always like these kind of games! It gets addictive, and you need to keep playing (while I'm at work...). It took me a while to figure out that you can place the turrets at the location you want :)

The combination of idle and TD functions well. Also the game is well balanced and addictive. Graphics are minimalistic but fits game and narrative. All in all a solid project. Oh and Bonuspoints for the fact that it is an one-man-show.

I'm a big fan of clickers. This to me seems like a really fun spin on the genre. Great entry!

I liked the way you handled the turret placement. I would increase a little bit the difficulty though. I think I found a cheat also! If you switch the tab while playing and wait when you switch back to the tab of the game lots of diamonds are added into the balance. (I don't know if the enemies also are spawning). Overall, nice little entry!

Good progression, good graphics, nice mix of cookie clicker and tower defense

Great fun with good graphics

I went through it twice. Honestly wasn't expecting the new game+ feature. Excellent.

shimmen 2017-12-05 22:12

Surprisingly fun game! I mean, it's a clicker ... but it's good! :smile: The newgame+ is also a great addition since it changes a fail into new opportunities. Really makes a great difference for the longevity and fun of the game. More upgrades and stuff would be fun and sound of course. Also, maybe it's a bit too easy? Thanks!

The clicker aspect of the game was super interesting. I liked being able to place my own turret when purchasing. I thought the defense was pretty one-dimensional until the upgrade screen hit me like a truck after losing. Well done there, that's quite a good amount of replayability you have in this!

I really like the idea that you can save some diamonds for the next try. A possibility to improve health would be nice.

Great game! :D

Very fun. It's well balanced in such a way that you can only decrease the difficulty very temporarily, and I like that you can invest in the next round, very enticing! A bit quiet though.

Really addictive game! Gets quite laggy once there is around bazillion pirates and cannons. :D

Overall a very funny and addicitve game, it reminds me of cookie clicker, the difference here, is its an active cookie clicker :D An absoulutly enjoyable game, it got potential. Great game!

A very addictive game. Sat there and played for half and hour! It was not really obvious how Risk really affects the game, nor how you can affect it. It was fun non then less!

Interesting gameplay. One of my largest complaints would be the absurdly small angle of which the turrets can shoot at. This was especially annoying at the beginning, but I ended up getting over it.

Also, it felt like the progression in the game was more forced than anything. What I mean is that I felt like there wasn't a whole lot of skill besides spam a bunch of turrets everywhere when you can. This was evident near the end of the round. The game got to the point where enemies were being spawned in all directions of all kinds, and spamming turrets was the only thing you could do until their sheer numbers overwhelmed you.

All that being said, I still enjoyed myself, this being one of the best jam games I've played so far. The graphics were pretty good, and the idea of not just a clicker game where you only have to get as much money as possible, but you must also defend your piles of wealth with turrets was a very clever idea. I rated you high on your innovation category. Don't take any of the criticisms to heart; you really have made a nice game here, and you should definitely be proud of yourself. Good job!

I really enjoyed this game. Although it has a very clicker like gameplay, rather than tower defense, it had fast paced progress and it felt like I went from 0 income to 1 000 000 in a flash. I would, however, like to be able to upgrade the amount of diamonds I get per click (my DPC). 10/10 :thumbsup:

A jogabilidade funciona, os graficos são simples, mas não são feios e senti muita falta de musica e efeitos sonoros. No entanto é um bom jogo.

De inicio achei que era um "clicker" qualquer, mas depois que eu entendi a estrategia se tornou um jogo muito divertido.

O que mais eu gostei foi o jeito que usou o tema, não é só sair aumentando a produção pois se produzir muito o jogo fica dificil muito rapido.

Enfim, é um bom jogo, se colocar mais torretas e upgrades pode ficar melhora ainda. Parabéns!

Great game!

I play something like 20 times.

Nice work!!

Thanks everyone for all this great feedback ! I'm glad you all seems to like the game and I'll try to make a post-ld version based on your feedback when I got the time :)

Really good game. The mix between an idle game and a tower defense game. Perfect. One of my favorite !

Great game! Reached 25k points!

Great game! What I find very appealing is the exponential growth. Eventually it turns into a spamming the mouse button game. After four plays I got a score of 813,652,151. After that the game really slows down with so many bullets and ships.
