@boumusic Itch link does not work

pataya 2019-10-07 23:48

Heya yeah sorry about that we're currently having troubles with custom shaders in WebGL build, going for a windows build asap

spider-the-second 2019-10-08 00:58

Not a bad clicker game, though the tooltips are a little hard to read on my browser, so it wasn't super clear what each thing did.

yokuday 2019-10-08 07:45

Its simple and addicting. Good job i enjoyed it

The game is easier to read (on WebGL) when it is made fullscreen. I enjoyed your take on the clicker genre, really liked the excitement and action as I furiously clicked to make my bank account grow. Really nice graphics and icons too. One bug worth looking at is that, at least in the WebGL build, the camera position starts moving toward the building the more you click on it. At this point, I can't see my crew members or the van. Attached a screenshot. Great game, lots of fun, would play more!

Not bad overall, an interesting take on incremental game genre. Very high level of polish. I just wish that you could upgrade the click income and text pop ups were on top of the cursor, because in webgl version it's pretty much unreadable. Cheers!

victor-reiner 2019-10-08 07:57

awesome! And additive

Went AFK on auto-heist after buying 9 of the most expensive crew members. Came back to having over a billion dollars. I liked the character animations! The mouse cursor seemed to be a bit imprecise. Overall, great job!

Good Job, its a really cool little game! I noticed a few bugs (WebGL version): - To click the "Auto - Heist" toggle you have to click further left (while in fullscreen). - When toggling the music button, the music does not resume instantly. - When the prices get big they have a 1.000E+08 format, and intersect each other. - At some point all of the robbers where finished with their heist, but the heist car is still standing around and a new heist can't be triggered. Regarding the big cursor bug: I did not see it as a bug, I think it's cute! heist.PNG

Thanks everyone for the detailed feedback, this is great! We'll try to patch some bugs and ui issues in the following days. :> @spider-the-second @tohubohu @yokuday @siarhei-pilat @victor-reiner @theomaniacal @jeremia

Cool little idle game. I like the innovation with the sequencing of characters, I'd like to see mechanics where they characters have bonus depending on their positions and their proximity to other types of characters. I almost got up to 20 aarons but when I tabbed out the auto heist stopped :( Overall very well polished, good job!

Enjoyable clicker with a neat theme. Loved the UI/Graphics, set it to auto and forgot about it came back to the numbers all overflowing.

Great job!

pestodesign 2019-10-08 20:18

Nice little idle game! I like the characters too. Is there any condition to win, or does it go endlessly?

pataya 2019-10-08 21:26

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The game is endless indeed, so you can let it run for days if you want!

gamesplusjames 2019-10-08 23:23

That was really cool! I liked the artstyle, and collecting felt really impactful and satisfying. Lots of fun with this one! Great work!

brokenmirrormedia 2019-10-09 05:45

A fun little game, the giant cursor was annoying but not gamebreaking. I really appreciated the polish that went into it, very satisfying money explosions and sound effects. Great work!

peachtreeoath 2019-10-09 06:59

I really love incremental games and play them pretty frequently. This was a great take on a higher quality art one and I think it has some unique things here w the presentation. In the genre, your core mechanic has to look and feel good since it's practically the only action you take in the game and you really nailed the effect. It was super satisfying to click, both graphically and audibly. I did bust out an autoclicker right off the bat though, and as others have pointed out, it grew the size of the bank to an extreme amount within a minute lol.

The upgrades themselves are very satisfying. In a lot of idle games they are strictly multipliers, or if you're lucky they might spawn a new building in the view. With yours I was eager to see what guy would pop out of the van. It's a small touch but there was a connection between what you upgraded and who's on your crew so that was very cool.

There is potential for further depth here like having different crewmembers do different things, or stronger at different missions and I'm sure you have a list of planned features. There is a niche for these types of games. Games such as https://store.steampowered.com/app/1056390/Ultra_Savage/ are idle games with a heavy coat of paint on top and I think you could qualify for that market.

Super nice clicker game, polished and with a nice difficulty curve ! Solid entry !

olga-shershneva 2019-10-09 15:09

Very cool, driving and polished game!

sometimesghost 2019-10-09 23:43

Cute little clicker game. The heist theme is fun, and I like the art style.

saucygames 2019-10-10 05:25

coooooool

navrcl 2019-10-10 07:37

A well made fun clicker game. Really nice graphics, animations and sfx. Great job!

pablotitan 2019-10-10 12:08

Really polished game, nice graphic style with well-designed UI (but if it would be a pro game, I would even polish it, add some kind of cutting when there is a lot of robbers), sounds are sometimes funny, but sometimes strange, loud :D A lot of good work here! ;)

nick-ui 2019-10-10 12:51

Neat graphics

tekses 2019-10-10 13:10

A fun take on a clicker game. I liked the graphics a lot and the basic premise too!

sopata 2019-10-10 15:07

Like the others said - very well polished game. I really like the cartoonish graphics and there is a lot of fun robbing the bank. The first several times I really laughed hard ^^ The only problem I have is that it does not fit the theme well enough. Awesome game though!

dmanzano101 2019-10-10 15:39

Great and polished jam entry. Fun clicker with nice graphics, also fits the theme. Only minor thing i would add is the ability to fire the low level thiefs in order to create the best possible crew. God job!

guilb 2019-10-10 18:44

Nice game, fun sounds and character names. Good Job

porocyonak 2019-10-11 08:09

damn this game is fun. love the sound design and graphics. great stuff

koukwst 2019-10-11 08:17

Best clicker game! Good job with the visual and the audio!

oneki 2019-10-11 09:09

Clickers are a bane of all existence. Presentation and "good-feel" of yours is too good.

dimesto52 2019-10-11 09:36

start of interesting clicker

thatmalzan 2019-10-11 09:50

I expected everyone to try an idle game this year and, for good reason, almost no one did. It's hard to surprise someone by giving them exactly what they expect and yet you pull it off perfectly. Solid execution, great feel.

emmyoop 2019-10-11 14:57

Fun! I think toning down the camera shake and money explosions as game gets going faster and getting more money might add to the game. When you get $1 million+ it starts to be a bit much.

deepnight 2019-10-11 16:00

Good job! The game is really fun and gets intense quite quickly :) However, it's a little bit far from the theme.

tofuman 2019-10-12 03:16

great clicking game. overall very simple but effective, one thing: once the liitle theives reach the right side of the screen the explosion is a bit too loud.

pranjalbisht 2019-10-12 14:22

Ah, whoever knew mindless clicking and robbing a bank could be so much fun! Really solid entry, I have it running on auto-heist in the background as I type this comment...

sol-roo 2019-10-12 20:28

incredibly polished and dynamic art style! the idle clicker also works perfectly with the theme, good work!

dans17 2019-10-13 17:54

I really like the graphics and UI! I know it's supposed to be just a clicker game, but I think it would be fun if there was more challenge and strategy involved, such as having cops attack your thieves and requiring the player make the best choices to keep their thieves alive.

pataya 2019-10-13 18:17

Thanks everyone for all the great feedbacks! @dans17 actually it's funny because we had a similar idea, involving a timer indicating 'cops incoming in X seconds', combined with a 'Retreat' button, forcing the player to have a more strategic approach. We couldn't implement it because of the limited time though, usual game jam stuff haha

fear-games 2019-10-13 23:50

well polished simple clicker game. great graphics and audio

hadesfury 2019-10-14 11:13

Great clicker .. the feedback is awesome (visual and audio).. Great entry

rebtf 2019-10-16 23:21

Incredibly juicy and clean but it felt undirected and mellowed out quickly.

I loved the text popping, the crunchy sound effects, the bouciness of the characters, great polish.

On the clicker side of things there was no depth. The numbers were too big to mean anything, there was no inderesting decisions, it just felt like a vessel for the juice.

johnnysix 2019-10-19 20:59

Nice! Loved the theme, this could be a very cool 'idle' mobile game if you expanded out the characters you can hire, cities to go, bank security/defences etc. Very cool.

ld45_db-048.jpg One thing on the money side, once you're above 10's of millions, the commas ( or ' depending on nationality ) to chunk up in bunches of three zeros would make numbers easier to read, or once past a million/billion , round up to the nearest million ?

I crashe the browswer after hitting 1b. :) lssssffenubb.png

xitaro 2019-10-22 23:00

liked that change to the clicker game, nice :)
