Cool game. I wish I could hold down though

anguss 2020-10-05 22:03

A really unique and interesting take on the theme, very enjoyable to play :smile:

Very nice little clicker game, I like the take on the stuck in a loop topic. Personally not a big fan of clickers, so seeing that you kept me busy with this one is a compliment on it's own :) Good game!

Just like in real life. Love the game, lowkey addicted to the clicking

Nice job! I cool twist on the clicker game. Game felt pretty polished but maybe the UI and the Background needs some work. It was good enough to distract me during spanish class it was fun to play.

I am in love with clicker games!!

mnursey 2020-10-05 22:27

Cool clicker game, nice art, very meta. Awesome work :)

Nice clicker. For a Game Designer Game there are no Game Designers though :cries Designer tears:

melhem-fares 2020-10-06 19:42

@ryuk47 It is you. You are the game designer. The workers you hire help build the game, but you design the ideas.

melhem-fares 2020-10-06 19:42

@ryuk47 It is you. You are the game designer. The workers you hire help build the game, but you design the ideas. (At least that's what I tried to do)

ryuk47 2020-10-06 20:25

@melhem-fares explanation accepted ^^

I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection

doc-moustache 2020-10-07 15:18

It was a pretty nice clicker haha. Liked it!

carraka 2020-10-07 15:22

Why won't this artist work faster? I KNOW. I'LL JUST DO THE ART MAHSELF. click-click-click-click-click WHAT MY GAME DID POORLY???

Anyway, this is a great game for your first jam! I only wish there were a way to customize the screen size, as it took me a long time to realize I could scroll down and see that my money total was going up. It would also be nice to have some sort of end goal, rather than being ... ahem, stuck in a loop. D:

Nice entry ! Fun clicker game, always addictive enough to give it an other click ! I really like the simple UI interface, and deconstruction of a game maker job!

Pleasant experience overall !!

pulni 2020-10-07 15:25

An idle/clicker game?! Why did I not make this?!?!?! :O

Nice! Good job with your first jam submission! :)

Random thought/idea: how about making the 3 tasks handled in different ways? Code - you press random keys fast instead of clicking; sprites - you draw with the mouse (just drag the mouse around to make random shapes in random colors); tracks - uh... use mic to make noises? :D I' not sure about that last one, but you get the idea.

melhem-fares 2020-10-07 15:56

@etrealjunior Thank you! I'll play your game after I'm done my homework.

@doc-moustache Thank you!

@carraka Yea that's a 1/10 chance lol. Also thanks for the suggestion. I was planning to add achievements/milestones later on so at least there's goals to strive for.

@donamougou Many thanks! I really like to keep things simple.

@pulni Thanks for the idea. I was thinking of what you said, but I didn't know how to do it unfortunately. I'm still kind of a beginner. I would love to learn more so I can implement that in the future.

nardandas 2020-10-07 16:30

I got to 20 games created! Didn't wanna destroy my hands clicking. Fun little clicker, but I also wanted to have more goals.

blue-pin-studio 2020-10-11 01:21

Loved your game. Unfortunately theres not much to it. I submitted i think around 12 games and stopped playing. Would be nice if there was some kind of progression or story :) Great work tho

melhem-fares 2020-10-11 17:40

@blue-pin-studio I agree. There's nothing to work for. I was planning to add some achievements or story in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

misterm 2020-10-11 21:50

Nice click game, I am not really fun of the genre, but the idea is good.

melhem-fares 2020-10-11 22:14

@misterm Thank you! I understand the preference, we all have our types. I'm not really a fan of puzzle games myself.

jih7 2020-10-14 18:41

This is a fun little idle clicker game. You made game development work really well as a metaphor for the genre, and the keyboard typing sounds when you click the icons are great.

guimoliveira 2020-10-19 23:22

Nice game! Good job. :)

itsdanidre 2020-10-24 18:09

Despite being really simple, the art was really likeable and the music wasn't at all annoying (you could hear the Bosca Ceoil in it; if that's what you used :sweat_smile:)

I've always struggled with making idle clickers, so nice game!

melhem-fares 2020-10-27 16:26

@itsdanidre Funny you say that because I originally used Bosca Ceoil to make the track but then remixed it in LMMS. I guess that's where it gets its Bosca Ceoil vibe.
