Too much clout.

Good twist at the theme! Didn't know what "Online Services" meant on my first run and quickly ran out of storage. If I could think of one critic is the game is a little bit slow paced, but overall I really enjoyed it.

It kept me playing for quite a long time till I forgot to play a game that already had bought ahahah

@cope Or never enough @gagouman Thanks for playing, really glad you liked it! If I go back and fix things up after the jam balance and pace will definitely get some attention. @chekaaa Thanks so much for playing, hope you liked it! :)

I like the idea and the visuals. Interesting take on the theme. I did find it to be too slow, as there were times when there was nothing to do but wait. Congrats on completing your game!

It's an addictive game and you need to play multiple time to get familiar with the game like you said in the tut. I know it's a compo entry but if there is some relax music there, the gameplay will definitely become more comfortable! (I don't know which word I should use😂)

I can't stop playing this game!

james-shipp 2018-08-14 15:10

@mantou @jharler Thanks guys! @goldranger I actually had a music friend make me a track, but I realized last minute it was against the rules since I didn't make it myself and took it out :/ if I ever make a post-jam update I'll definitely include that!

Small note, the game doesn't scale properly to a 1440x900 screen - some text and icons were outside the screen. Other than that, it's a pretty cool game!

A bit too much waiting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the game. I played it twice and finished with a "lot of clout" but the waiting was a bit much. My mouse batteries died in the middle of the game. I had enough time to leisurely get up from my chair, walk to the kitchen, get batteries, walk back, put them in the mouse, and my current "game project" still wasn't made. Otherwise, this was a good game.

Haha ! very nice ambiance, I really like the graphic style :)

james-shipp 2018-08-18 01:08

@akirassasin Thanks for telling me, I'll try to fix that!! @matt-tuttle Thanks for playing! If I had more time I was thinking I could add small mini games to do while 'playing a game' and things like that to make time passing seem less like work. Thanks for the feedback, very helpful :) @gaming-night Appreciate! Glad you enjoyed it

Interesting! The game definitely appears as a computer (and a little better than mine, haha). Some sound would make this game a lot better. Great entry :)

jimmyc 2018-08-18 03:22

The progress is a bit slow.It takes lot of time to wait for the game which makes me feel boring(I play it while watching youtube videos).But that better with upgrades later.

stefan-jovanovic 2018-08-18 14:59

The gameplay could be a bit faster, but I like the overall idea!

Keep up the good work!

dodoita 2018-08-18 18:20

The gameplay works well, it seems balanced, it just should be way faster imo because there's too much time where you don't know what to do and might get bored. I had quite fun though.

One important thing, I don't know if it's me but after I earned my first 20 clouts i couldn't play any more games. It would let me buy them but the play button would be grey and unclickable. This lasted in my second run too.

deaymon 2018-08-19 02:17

Interesting meta-game. The windows interface looked kinda neat! The gameplay is a bit too slow for my taste though.

smithy 2018-08-21 15:08

Really interesting take on the theme, really liked playing this game. Gameplay could be a bit faster and some soundeffects would be nice

wabble 2018-08-21 20:49

Awesome concept! loved the modifiers

julianmh 2018-08-21 21:02

Strangely absorbing game, in a cookie clicker sort of way. I like it. The beginning of the game should be a bit faster paced though.

I had some issues with clicks not registering correctly in overlapping windows.

james-shipp 2018-08-22 22:05

@jimmyc @stefan-jovanovic @dodoita @deaymon @smithy @wabble @julianmh Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

sprovgames 2018-08-24 17:34

Great game

harry-jacobs 2018-08-28 20:03

Started off a bit slow but got more enjoyable as it went on and became quite addictive. Some sound effects would have been nice but overall was pretty fun and unique. Great job!

james-shipp 2018-08-30 23:48

@sprovgames @harry-jacobs Thanks y'all!

grahhhhhhhhh 2018-09-02 17:45

Nice concept!
