Surprisingly good balancing, I thought the bikes were useless for a while before they got insane with all the upgrades. If I had to suggest an improvement though, I think the upgrades menu should have a scroll bar - when I wasn't interested in upgrading the bikes, my upgrade menu was held hostage by bike upgrades. It was a minor issue though, good work!
Although it's fair standard stuff for an idle game the hook is still as addictive as ever so great work
At each LD I always have the idea to make an idle game, which could run in the background while people test other games. They could come back to it between 2 games and see the evolutions. So imagine my disappointment when I realized that your game was only running when the tab was active :( That, combined with the fact that the balancing is not up to scratch made me not go very far.
But congratulations anyway for producing something for this edition!
I like this a lot. The upgrades are especially creative and unique. And changing the art in the scene based on them is cool. Love the Gurren Lagann reference. Some sounds and animations would've helped the mood a lot but otherwise a really fun game. I really like these cookie clicker style, upgrade games.
I like how you continued the character saga from a previous game. Very clever idea. "Never skip leg day"!
Short but sweet idle game, I like how your empire slowly builds both on the table and in the background.
@olivier-millochau Oh no, the game should run when the tab is not active. Something must have gone wrong in our last build there! Thanks for letting me know, that will be fixed up in the future for sure!
While not the fan of the genre, there's a fine art to this game. Maybe, if some narrative events, that'd be much cooler, but thanks!
I spent quite a bit of time with this one. It was fun seeing all the background changes as I expanded my delivery empire. Also some great and funny upgrade names. Nice job with this game, I had a good time.
Yaaaay, I love idle games! I'm letting it run while I write this review. :) I like how the upgrades add little visual details like the flag on the bike. Otherwise many of the mechanics are pretty standard to other idle games, just with a bicycle delivery twist. It's very addictive and I'm excited to see what upgrades are next in my queue. Great work!
I'm a simple woman...I see idle game, I play it. This was pretty fun, simple and straightforward, the graphics were cute, and I love to see them numbers go up 😎
Big numbers getting bigger will probably always make my brain happy and this game certainly has that. I think the balance is surprisingly good for a jam game, it has this very good exponential growth curve where at the end you have more money than you can spend and the total playtime is still not unreasonable for a jam game. I really liked the visuals, especially how they change with the upgrades and the little letter explosions from the progress bars. :D My only gripe was that the text was a bit of a strain to read on some colours. Overall a great game! :D
