That was a very satisfying clicker game! Played all the way to establishing the NWO :) Nice work on this entry

d-lord 2020-10-06 07:04

Really really nice game. Well done. :thumbsup:

xsoodx 2020-10-06 07:11

This is fun. Love seeing it rain money. Good stuff.

hadesfury 2020-10-06 07:15

I like clicker :D very well done :)

darkhex 2020-10-06 07:17

Ok, I don't know why but this really got me involved. Nice work, I reminded me of good old flash games.

mrwahloh 2020-10-06 07:36

Whoa, this is pretty cool and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I just had to keep playing for the NWO, nice end meme btw.

I'm a sucker for pixelart and it is really nice, thumbs up. In the beginning I needed a bit of time to figure out that I had to upgrade instead of clicking constantly. Also, the game would have benefitted a lot from implementing some sounds, something like the screams and ambient audio in Rollercoaster Tycoon. Simple idea but fun idea with a great execution, well done!

dxk2294 2020-10-06 09:27

Thanks for the feedback and kind words everyone!

@mrwahloh Totally agree with you on the sound effects - I was imagining RCT sounds the entire time we were developing this. :smile:

thundersalt 2020-10-07 04:00

This was extremely addictive, and the progression of getting more and more cash from the customers was really well balanced and fun to see as I expanded the coaster track, phenomenal work!!

stuckne1 2020-10-07 04:20

I just spent a lot of time playing this. Nice work!

gumemura 2020-10-07 04:29

Good work, congrats!

kevin-mooney 2020-10-07 04:29

i really enjoyed this - i played until the cost of double blue bills overflowed and cost negative millions. bought that a few times and won it all! really fun game. i liked the idea of making $$/second too

nikolaj 2020-10-07 04:34

hilarious

wolfier 2020-10-07 12:02

I can tell that the game wants to be an idle game and that isn't really my preferred genre of game so I'm not really qualified to comment on this game.

Its well implemented though, the art is quite nice and i agree with other commenters that it needs sound.

Great concept, I had a laugh at all the marketing and lab options. Some background music would be a nice addition but otherwise I have no complaints. I bet my skeletal customers have some complaints though :wink:

I keep saying this, i love games with upgrades for some reason. gj!

dharby 2020-10-08 04:21

Great take on the theme, and I love the art style. Good job!

frances 2020-10-08 04:41

This is a really nice idle clicker game! I didn't notice that I played through the whole thing, it was mesmerizing. I love how the money just falls from the people and the fact that there's a bank so they can get money mid-ride. I had a lot of fun, thank you!

patrickjr 2020-10-08 05:41

Honestly, this is in the like 5% of jam games I actually want to spend time on and play. Maybe it's just because it's an idle game and those tend to get addicting, but I think you really did well here. I especially love the idea of banks. Just a couple things that would make it better:

- Audio. This game needs a background music and some sound effects. - There's nothing interesting with the theme. I guess its because they lose money when they go through the loops? Because the ride goes in a loop? Regardless, it's a great game and theme is only one category. It doesn't really matter. - When I developed the track as far as I could there was no indicator it was the limit. It just wouldn't go farther when I held "a". - For larger numbers I would prefer if they were expressed with exponents (5 * 10^6 rather than 5,000,000). Also would prefer round numbers. If all the numbers are like 56,422,324 they are harder to compare.

Overall amazing game.

henrik-ganard 2020-10-08 05:46

I am a sucker for fun clicker-games and the graphical feedback on this one when the poor customers where loosing their cash hit home with me. I loved this game. Thanks for making it. looptheloop.PNG

gamefriend 2020-10-08 06:13

I LOVE clicker games and this was a really well made game for a game jam. I'm saddened that I couldn't extend my rollercoaster endlessly (the screen stopped at a certain point), but this was really well polished, IMO.

m0dsat 2020-10-08 07:36

Had a little hard time getting going, but once the money started rolling in, it became a clicker. Didn't pay much attention to my ride, as I focussed on removing the green buttons in the Research tabs. Great game!

gonzalol 2020-10-08 09:10

I enjoyed it a lot. It's fun to play and fit the theme.

dxk2294 2020-10-08 10:32

Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback, we really appreciate your kind words and time spent playing our game :smile:!

Based on your feedback, and for my own personal enjoyment, I've added some sound effects to the game. In the interest of transparency, and since I can't upload multiple versions of the WebGL player, I've added a very clear warning that you should not play with sound effects if you are judging for LD47.

roboshamit 2020-10-08 11:11

Really well polished. Liked your disclaimer about the audio at the beginning. Great one.

kirroyal 2020-10-08 11:19

Awesome! Just a great combination of the theme and a clicker game. Had fun and nothing to complain about ^^

mumaitron 2020-10-08 11:36

Setting banks on a roller coaster seems like a great idea to me. Jokes aside, great little incremental game, fun in its own way and satisfying. good job!

vivoubos 2020-10-08 11:43

Nice clicker game. It was fun to put bank on the ride xD

I just don't understand was train parking was made for.

Good job on this game, it's a nice entry!

peachtreeoath 2020-10-08 11:45

I love a good incremental that shakes up the traditional formula. It's a lot more rare than you would think!

You did an interesting gamble here regarding the upgrades. You don't actually get to touch your track much early on, and you're forced to look at the research more. At first I had a slight hint of annoyance because it felt like it was going to take forever before I could add a second loop.

However, this was actually pretty effective for me. The loops were a huge breadcrumb. I saw your gifs earlier and thought "I want that too". So it became a goal for myself and I was willing to trudge through it all to get there haha. Dunno if you intended that but it worked for me.

One thing that was unfortunate was that the research panel covered up the screen. The game is a real joy to watch, but I had to keep that open because upgrades come in fairly fast in the midgame.

I really liked what you did here, you got me playing for a while. I actually personally am interested in evolving the incremental genre as well so you get extra points from me :)

rolly 2020-10-08 11:47

It was a very funny game! Even with a simple game mechanic like this one, carrying it with a good sense of humour makes it great!

Regarding the audio : I disabled it for the first part of the game and re-enabled it for the second part, and may I say that it adds so much to the experience! So even if you think it's your weakest skill, you should definitely try to spend 2-3 hours during the jam to make it! The music not only serve the "Audio" category, but also "overall", "fun", "mood" and in this case "humour", it's totally worth the time spent!

Great entry!

danielcmcg 2020-10-08 12:07

Awesome game, I got really into it. There is a point where sooo much money starts coming in with no limit and it is really fun so you can explore all the updates!

los 2020-10-08 12:13

Screenshot from 2020-10-08 14-11-49.png

I love idle / clickers game. And this definitely fits the category :) Well done!

moski 2020-10-08 13:54

RIP productivity. But dang, wasn't it fun?

firefox_QGBAk1n5wR.png

Love me some incremental games and tycoon games. Checking this one out was a no brainer, and I'm genuinely impressed at the depth it got. The mechanics make sense and are straightforward (even if some stats like train parking were never relevant or comprehensible to me), and I like how it has some fun nods like the Bezos and Do no evil. Given the jam time, it was expected for it to not be properly balanced here and there, but otherwise, I'd say it's among the most fun thematic clickers I've played.

It's a very solid incremental game. You can bet I'm rating this one quite high. So far, my favorite from the jam. And good luck in reconstructing it! I would really like to see where this goes. 🐳

caeonosphere 2020-10-08 14:45

Excellent idle game! It really ups the ante to see all those bills fluttering down. Once I nut-chunked up my loops, there were no brakes on the money machine.

Thoughts: * I want a faster trains upgrade! * Holy cow, putting a bank in the middle of a roller coaster. Genius. * "Market how succulent the caviar is." This might be the first actually funny game I've played across my 6 Ludum Dares * I just love how (almost) every aspect of the roller coaster and associated scheme can be improved. The research system is excellently done. * Perfect length for rating an idle game.

Super well done all around!

mrmaico 2020-10-09 07:44

That was surprisingly addictive. Was definitely fun, taking all their money. Cool entry for sure!

scsc 2020-10-09 09:08

Really great and properly designed incremental game, you should probably really try to go into a mobile game market with this idea :) The ending was a bit too anti-climatic, and there are some issues with WebGL version being too large to fit in one screen (without full-screen option), which even makes itch.io block the Research button, making it misclick-prone. Other than that not seeing the cost of building or the camera hint, the effects of the buildings (and their ordering interaction) feel maybe too ambiguous, but the game is fast paced enough so that one reaches the New Roller-Coaster Order soon enough :)

dangerblack 2020-10-09 10:10

I literally loved this game! Thanks for making it!

I have no feedback for you! But maybe some better sprite can helps a bit with the game!

finn-tr 2020-10-09 16:22

Super fun and satisfying game! I had such a blast playing this! Great job!

morpheuszero 2020-10-09 17:20

This was so much fun! Thanks for sharing. So simple yet very addicting. Great job!

koemeterion 2020-10-10 10:49

Comments are the most valueable thing here, so sorry that its so short: Addictive!

crazybot 2020-10-11 07:29

Impressive what you managed to do in 3 days! I liked just about everything, the art, the gameplay, the upgrades

I just didn't really know what the DO NO EVIL or DO EVIL buttons changed apart from the amount of money you made

also some sound would of course have been nice (I rated LD version)

overall great game

arqcenick 2020-10-11 08:06

Very impressive amount of content for three days. The idle genre always have styles to explore and this I think is a successful exploration. A lot of tooltiping is needed to understand what each button does but other than it's a good game to pass time.

zebrainflames 2020-10-11 08:11

Not much to say, except this is great :)

A really nice effort overall, one of my favourites from this jam.

kuro 2020-10-11 08:49

Very enjoyable fun game. I've established the new world order lol.

One thing that could improve the experience is if you explained how much money does each part of ride liberate your guests of their money, and also some stat screen for us nerds, so we can optimize our rides for maximum output.

Very nice entry!

rangoiv 2020-10-11 23:49

Very fun and cool game! Except the winning screen looked a little wierd and like a last minute addition. Great game!

marcos-tulio-cavalcante 2020-10-11 23:53

Very good. I think the track could have more options, don't just get stuck with the real things on a rollercoaster, and you still need conditions to lose.

dedicave 2020-10-11 23:57

Very well done for a jam game! Very polished. It was super fun and addicting. It's a good clicker-game. At first it is a bit slow but when you start to automate everything you become the king of theft. Good job!

archimagus 2020-10-12 00:04

Ahh, good times. Fun game. Im winner. Pretty rough on 1 core of my CPU lol, all that cash pouring out. Still, was good.

jhax 2020-10-12 00:06

The brilliant graphics really sell this.

Really enjoyed some of the research options!

Always appreciate the use of standard form as well :smile:

ygrichman 2020-10-12 00:06

Really enjoyed that, ended up playing it for almost half an hour. Really well polished, only issue I had was the performance when reaching the endgame was struggling in WebGL (Not suprising).

somogy 2020-10-12 01:49

Really really nice game. Well done.

marc-antoine-girard 2020-10-12 04:35

Great idle game. Put that on a phone and you got yourself some retirement hahaha. But really I loved seeing all that money on screen. Having some screaming would really put a roller coaster vibe to it.

gurpegui 2020-10-12 11:02

Cool game! Easy to loose track of time playing it!

isha 2020-10-12 13:30

Excellent game, really great!

One minor thing is that the upgrade window blocked the main view. As you play most of the game from the upgrade window you miss the rollercoaster doing the sick loopdeloops.

Really fun though!

deathstorm 2020-10-13 07:42

I am not sure what the Evil/Not Evil Button does next to less money.

But the loop works really well and the game was a lot of Fun. Works smoothly. A lot to do. Huge Content. Great Animations.

I really liked the Game and liked especially that the Game is "Winnable".

Well Done Good Job

netmute 2020-10-14 15:36

Well, that took almost no time at all :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Screenshot 2020-10-14 at 17.34.22.png

I love a good clicker. And the visual presentation in this one was superb! :thumbsup:

peace-of-cake-games 2020-10-16 23:59

Well, at the time I'm typing this, I just hit 1.380E + 8. I've got the peanut butter, loops and banks everywhere, and just one ride gets me millions of dollars. And there are countless cars at the same time.

Well done! I've been going for 45+ minutes now, and I haven't stopped. That's saying something!

This is definitely worthy of a computer or mobile game! You'll need to add savegame support though.

peace-of-cake-games 2020-10-17 01:38

I beat it! (A while ago) Great job making this! I just couldn't abandon my rollercoaster scam, and I ended up stealing money and customizing my coaster for over an hour!

witekwitek 2020-10-17 05:36

Great game! I like the sounds and the graphics, fits well. I think the game was a little too long for a game jam game.

Overall, the end could be shorter

-WitekWitek

dreamarch 2020-10-17 05:42

What a quick and addicting game, I feel like it was a little long to get to the You're Winner screen than I would've liked but I wasn't exactly min/maxing stuff. I loved the humor and quick gameplay and think this is a perfect game for the Jam. It was also very nicely polished and well thought out, bravo man.

future-labs-unlimited 2020-10-17 10:46

Definitely the most addictive LD game I played so far! I love the rollercoaster banks. :D Personally I'd prefer the numbers to be shown without exponents (like they appear in the screenshots), as getting longer numbers feels more rewarding to me in games of this type. Or maybe make it an option. Anyway, I had lots of fun with this!

arbex 2020-10-17 11:06

Awesome game, but I really got confused with empty spaces at the sky or there is something that I missed.

blacklambert 2020-10-17 11:43

Wow, a polished idle game in only three days. Impressive! Loved the humor. Balancing is slightly off and the 7 looks like a 1. :D It also took me a while to understand the reason why I wasn't earning money was the "Do no evil" button. But none the less. Awesome entry!

rayriver 2020-10-17 15:23

Real fun game! Nice work!

kaafirookie 2020-10-17 17:21

Had lots of fun playing this! The mood, the game play and everything was well thought, I wish we could use the verticality too, and dockable window for research would be nice, so that it can be opened without blocking the view.

A well made and polished game and a solid entry! Congratulations and all the best!

wizard-sino 2020-10-17 19:27

that was beautiful...

snowinn 2020-10-18 00:47

This was really fun ! I liked the humor of gaining money from the money falling from customers pockets. Lots of gameplay available with numerous upgrades and different things to build. Nice job!

sharks 2020-10-18 13:01

Really well done and has some pretty in depth mechanics for a Ludum Dare game, definitely would play again and was quite fun and well balanced! I know some others have mentioned this but the cash falling from customers was really satisfying good job there! I loved the descriptions of some upgrades, quite witty! Keep working on this - it's a gem!

drjexter 2020-10-18 21:58

This one took me a second at first, I hadn't noticed the research button and was like, this is going to take FOREVER. Once I found it gameplay was fun and smooth. great game!

kaisenthegreatone 2020-10-19 09:31

Great game. Played it in my break from work and it was a nice one. Won in the end. The research button is a bit hard to find, but still a fun game :D well done :thumbsup:

ddrkirbyisq 2020-10-19 10:54

Yesssssss

mrchickenboy 2020-10-19 13:38

That was one of the best clickers I've played, though, you should add an instructions menu or somthing like that, so, good idea, and also, you don't have to but you can also make it easier to gain money at the start

ryan-paton 2020-10-21 23:46

My favorite part was all the little dollar bills floating down from the ride. It looks great!

ptsnoop 2020-10-24 08:15

At first I was worried about the lack of instructions when the game started up, but this game does a good enough job of presenting information throughout that it wasn't needed after all. Good game!

andreas-roschal 2020-10-24 10:55

Very nice clicker game and good use of the theme. The game progression is very well balanced (which can definitely be hard in this type of game) and once automation starts to speed up, it becomes really satisfying.

mackandrius 2020-10-24 15:48

Hah, definitely one of the most fun entries I've played here, I just wish it wouldn't have forced the game ending, so that I could have come back and played around a bit more! I had a laugh at the marketing options, great stuff, loved it!

joaog 2020-10-24 17:53

I love amusement park simulation games, especially roller coasters, but I never imagined them as a clicker and unexpectedly I had a lot of fun with this game, I spent a lot of time playing and I really loved it. Good graphics and great audio, the available updates are also impressive and creative. But the falling money bills were brilliant, gave personality and a unique edge to the game, I can't explain it but it's almost mesmerizing. Great job!

gelgavish 2020-10-24 20:10

Ok, this game is an excellent time burner, I just spent half an hour playing it without noticing, +1 for you. I really like the descriptions of the upgrades and the music was really good as well (yes, I know it was added later).

Amazing game and a really good job!

merkisoft 2020-10-24 21:11

i love it. i played it on my phone, enabled desktop view, works really well. if only camera control were touch capable i would give you max points straight! well done. please make a mobile version. :-)

schwede 2020-10-25 20:51

A very addictive game! I just could not stop until I completed the game. The desire for upgrades is just too overwhelming. You should be careful that people don’t get criminal because of this game. 🤑

moski 2020-10-27 01:18

I wanted to check the game again. Accidentally left it open in the background while I was doing tasks. Oh good.
