I like how the time restriction makes you make fast decisions. The amount of options is mindblowing, but you have no time to use them all.

So the gameplay is just a simulation of life - you have to fulfill as many plans as you can within the limited timeframe before you die. But I wanted to create a large farm with automatic milkers and stuff... Sorry, no. It's the end.

Great job! It's amazing how such a minimalistic game can convey emotions.

Nice little cookie clicker type game, would be cool to see some artwork to represent your actions

Sometimes I am not allowed to buy upgrades (button does not show up or has no pricetag and is not clickable). Also you can technically cheat the game by buying the research to spawn factories, without having nearly enough money for them.

Apart from the issues a very frantic and absorbing clicker game :)

There's always something that goes wrong, I'll see to those bugs @kruemelkeksfan!

Nice Clicker/Farm management game. Looks a little like an old Windows application, adding in some images or graphics would have been nice but overall the game was fun.

I liked the game & the concept but you could've made the UI more interesting by adding some icons or images.

I didn't understand this at all

the game reminded me of adventure capitalists but wayyy more economical and quick thinking, i liked it a lot

This is a wonderful concept and the time limit really changes how it would otherwise be played, very creative :)

This looks like an incremental game, which I'm a huge fan of - but I'm not sure that the executable uploaded on itchio is working? All of the buttons just say "MILK COW" and don't do anything - then the game ends pretty quickly and the "once more into the breach" button doesn't seem to work.

EDIT: Okay v1.2 was broken, but 1.0 seems to work :smile:

Nice lil clicker there !

Really nice clicker game i must admit. My only complains are that : 1 . The graphics are really kinda bad. If you did manage to get some free assets or pixel draw some cows or something like that i would be sure the game would have been a lot more pleasant. 2 . I know this is just a bug and that is no way your fault, it s mostly the time in which you are forced to complete the game but i got a weird bug in the latest version i found on itch.io that would made the upgrades not work properly. I couldn t bring thru the portal any cows, any farmers anything. And my timer would almost everytime dissapear when it went below 1 minute.

But in rest, the game is really great and enjoyable. I found it very funny and you got the theme really on point. Good job man for this. You can just make some assets and publish it on Android store and i am pretty sure you can get a lot of people to play it. Nothing more to add only that you did a superb job gameplay wise. Really nice, you deserve a pat on your back. Cheers and hope to see a version for mobile sometimes in the future.

@zepimppotatoe Thanks for the kind words. Honestly I didn't have the time for graphics but if I work on this after the game jam I'll definitely invest time into the visuals. In the meantime I did patch out those bugs you experienced!

Ahh... I love me my clickers.. Need more graphics though You can make this really addictive with some more work.

Nice solid clicker game! I think the curve of things to buy needs to be tweaked a bit, but that's really it!

guimoliveira 2020-10-14 19:09

Nice game! I think you could add some icons and images. :thinking:

Had a lot of fun playing this game - the concept is great! Would love to see this in a full game, with the graphics improved and all that! Overall a pretty fun game.
