Miserable Game

Nice short game, delivers exactly what is promises. The spin you took on the theme was interesting, but it worked out in the end. I'm impressed you managed to make an idle game and still relate it back to the theme. By far my favourite feature in the game would be the ability to visibly see your money pile up, at first I thought it was just a particle effect but was pleasantly surprised to see that they were physics objects. Watching your money cut in half when you bought something was quite fun to watch, I think it was a very smart choice to make your money visible like that. The game does feel a bit empty though and you complete it very fast, only taking about 3 minutes to win. It would be nice to add just a few more things to buy such as maybe a money cloud that rained money every now or then or the ability to sacrifice your health for more money. This would compensate the exponential growth since your cash income doesn't scale exponentially while the prices do, leading to a block where there's no point in playing after a bit. Additionally, more explanation on how the gamble button really works would be appreciated. It is unclear that the cost is how much you are wagering. Adding a green/red number for money gained/lost above the button would make it much easier to understand. Also it would be nice to be able to select how much you want to wager instead of a random number. Final note on the gamble button was that I found that you needed at least $25 in order to gamble, which is not stated anywhere. Finally, The button to increase payment frequency stopped doing anything after a point but was still an option to buy causing wasted money. All in all it was a nice quick game to play. fast, to the point, and related to the theme, just a little too short for me. Nice game overall.

I love idle games. I like the physics you added to the money. Nice job.

I really liked that you integrated a physical element in an idle game, I wish that could have been explored more. Thanks for the game =)

@luther-1 Thank you so much for your extensive feedback! Unfotunly I ran out of time before i could add anymore interactions. You are completely correct about the gambeling.

I really wanted a kaching sound effect. I enjoyed the fact that love was an option. The money accumulating and shaking the whole screen also was nice. Overall, though, the game seemed to be missing some elements, either more things to buy, an end goal besides just quitting, sound effects etc. It is a good start.

Alright, this was surprisingly entertaining. I would've loved some sound effects and music to match the spectacle of the money and hearts flying around, but the meta-ness of the concept was great, reminded me of AVGM by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel. Good job!

this was entertaining, it kept me playing for a while ... simple, fun and a game that doesn't take itself too seriously, good entry!

Very nice, wish it had audio though

wtmk-bk 2019-05-02 02:54

@dk5000p @brinkhousegames @velvetlobster @hubol Thanks for playing <3 i appreciate the feedback!

dkp the kaching sound would have been so good!

What a weird and fun game, there's something that gives you satisfaction when you fill all the screen with money and I don't know why xp. Would be a lot better with some audio and better graphics.

I really liked that you made an idle game that didn't make it feel like I was _idle_ while playing it -- I was really pleasantly surprised to be able to see all that the game had to offer without feeling like I was waiting around!

Also, I really hope the name is a pun and this is really a _miser_-ly game.

dusho 2019-05-06 19:23

interesting.. but felt like something was missing.. love that you stick to 'mspaint' art and have it consistent

wtmk-bk 2019-05-08 19:25

Fun little game. I liked seeing all of those dollars bouncing around and knocking my guy out. The hearts were a nice touch. I like that you have to pay $64 to just quit the game. :D

philipprapp95 2019-05-09 13:16

Wow... Was really funny though i got epileptic! LOL. A funny idle game. Totally crap and awesome at the same time. Please continue

muchoswaffles 2019-05-10 00:12

Short yet fun game. I enjoyed it. I found it really funny that you have to pay to quit the game. Great job! :D
