Pretty satisfying little clicker. A thought I had was that it'd be cool if there was some bigger screen effect for when you're in the red/green etc. great work :D

@quixatocs thank you for your feedback!

Might just be my set up but I couldn't get the space ship to move. Neither arrows or A/D did anything. Clicking worked but couldn't move. Nice little idea though.

This was pretty dope! I like that you don't punish the player too much for staying in the energy beams and instead reward surfing the green areas. The sound effects are simple, but they work. The overall presentation is very nice, the art style is coherent, great entry. One of my favorites so far :D

The art is pretty cool ! But the game is just a clicker, nothing more ... the number was continuing to increase even if I stay in the energy burst. So that is too bad. Otherwise, thath is a great experience.

Keep coding :)

@l14-game-studio if you don't mind me asking: what browser did you use? I might be able to fix this problem.

@syrapt0r thank you for the kind words! :smile:

@Mathiouza There is a tradeoff between clicking and surfing green zones. Good movement is awarded with higher score. You can play it as just a clicker but you probably won't receive highest possible score (unless you are really good at clicking and have some luck with energy bursts :smiley: ). Either way, thanks for the feedback!

Very cool gameplay. Does it have an end? If it did, I didn't get to it. Nice game nonetheless!

blight-radiance 2018-04-24 06:34

@SuperTibbles The game does have an end. It is possible to finish the game in about a minute if you click fast enough :)

i beat it its a quiet boring game because there's no incentive to keep clicking and rips out the essentials of clicker games upgrades and such it went up at random times it seemed until a min into gameplay it was you in the ray hell it took me 3 mins to realize i could move. Did Not add much tho the experience was bland with pretty colors

Looks awesome! Anyway the fact that you cant die kind of looses the purpose of a challenge or to continue after a while. Nice combination!

@boblova, @MacDoom Thanks for the feedback! I do agree with all of the criticism. There is much to be desired in terms of gameplay. Will try to provide better gameplay in future entries :)

I am now addicted to clickin' stars and surfin' bursts! This game is super simple, but excellent in its simplicity! I really like how the background starts to warp as the gravitational pull of the star intensifies. I found myself clicking like crazy until my screen was almost completely green or white. I don't really have much constructive criticism. I think adding some music would have helped with the overall feel of the game, but that's a pretty minor gripe. Seriously - great job on this.

@ropedog Thank you!

First clicker that I've seen. Works really well with the avoider gameplay, but I'm not sure that there's a reason to stop clicking. I'm also not sure if there's a secret health bar or what because I was getting hit a lot but never lost, and then the game just ended at some point at 54000 points.

blight-radiance 2018-04-29 10:49

@foolmoron The only reason to stop clicking is to position yourself better in green zones. There is no hidden health bar, but there is a score multiplier. The higher the multiplier is, the bigger text size for the score.

The surfing in the green area was cool, a high-risk / high reward sort of mechanic. I don't know why, but I just lost at some point?

blight-radiance 2018-04-30 20:24

@vfqd There is no way to lose. You reached the end of the game)

I think its more fun if there is a music background on it. But for overall its fun! Good Job!!
