I played it longer than I thought I would. :smile: I usualy don't like clicker games, but the fast progress kept me playing the game. The only thing that was realy annoying was the sound effect of the gem, when you leveled up a lot it really hurt my ears.

A couple notes:

The sound effect gets annoying pretty fast. It's weirdly harsh on the ears when you really get going. Some better sound effect management would do good here.

The trading post basically makes every other upgrade, including the mega drill, obsolete. Due to exponential growth of gem collection, and linear growth of the upgrade cost.

The pacing between upgrades until the "endgame" with trading posts is nice though, striking a balance enough to keep me engaged to the end. That's probably the most important thing about autoclickers: constantly keeping your players wanting the next thing without them getting bored of having it too quickly or too slowly.

Core gameplay feels nice, but the whole thing could use a little polish. Nice work!

This game is crazy satisfying, gameplay wise. For what this entry is, I had a good time just relaxing in uh...capitalism... The fun part was definitely trying to go as fast as possible, and the automation upgrades make it especially fun. It's too bad the game only has one sound effect, but it is funny hearing it just devolve into a loud buzz by the time you're going at hyper speed. Maybe the deeper meaning is that the desire to acquire a large sum of non-existent wealth drives one to the point of insanity?

Overall, I found this game quite amusing and performance wise, it runs surprisingly well even though I'm currently racking up a mass amount of gems with tons of drills and trading posts.

(Also, I love that you can buy more than one capitalism. :money_mouth:)

Wow! That silence when you close the game xD This was way more fun than I expected, cause I'm not the biggest fan of clicker games. Creating buildings to improve your... escallation, well yeah it's all about escallation! Good job on that part :D

Also cute little mascot at the bottom :D

I really have fun to play this game! Cool atmosphere! Thank you) And so adorable graphic and sounds) Great job!

Un-challenging gameplay, but that goes with the genre I suppose. You could improve how the trading posts and additional drills appear, as at first I didn't notice that there was anything outside what I could see.

Not a bad clicker game, but the audio might need some, eh… tweaking. Nice game.

Yay a clicker :smiley:

It was quite hypnotizing to see the continuous flow of gems once capitalism bought ! I wish I could see how many gems was produced per second (or minut) during my progression ^^

Nice game, congratulations on your compo !

Nice game. But the audio gets annoying fast.

I won capitalism. That sound got obnoxious when it was being spammed :D

Actually quite satisfying to break when your income skyrockets due to a quite nice pace initially and very smooth controls for viewing all your stuff.

I do enjoy that you can just keep buying "win capitalism" even after you've completed everything, makes you feel like a real billionaire.

Well game :) I feel like the progression was too fast towards the end ;)

Neat little clicker game. I didn’t notice that I could scroll to other drills at first. Once I started loading up my big boy drills with bonuses, it became super satisfying to watch the big bucks roll in. I finally managed to win capitalism, which I always I one day would. Great Art. Game play is fluid and easy to get into. Really great submission. Thanks so much for bringing this by my stream. Here's a link to the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004703239?t=1h13m17s

Nice clicker game. I would have liked to have a description of the upgrades(maybe on mouse hover?) before I bought them. Also the sounds get quite annoying once you get going, maybe limit the number of sounds/change to a different sound when it's really fast. Enjoyed it.
