Lovely little game with a lovely little guy :)

so cute! the bear is adorable as well as the browser love the look of the game and the music the amount of captchas is a bit annoying sut i guess that makes the game more interesting since that's quite an obstacle you've got to overcome good job! ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

supremely satisfying. Loved loved loved this one!! I'm handing out all my gifts from the special delivery.

limabean0421 2023-05-04 02:14

Cute but reminds me of the captcha rage, so cute tho!

This is so so cute. I have a soft spot for games that take place on a computer within the computer, and this one delivered. Very fun take on a clicker game, especially that the captchas slowed down the clicks and you had to pay to deal with them.

Such a unique and cute idea, love the vibe and the direction you went with this. I could not figure out what one of the captch words was, which might be user error, but was kind of annoying.

Love the little bear model. Not a big fan of idle clickers in general but I think all the spam-my not a robot stuff was a fun twist. Good job!

neobit 2023-05-04 02:19

This game is so cute and addictive! Highly recommended for those how loves to solve captchas.

Damn, what a funny and creative project. I really liked the mood and humor of the game. The progression gives pretty much the experience of windows 98 full of virus, garbage popups and etc lol. I would LOVE if the image captcha around the internet adopt this kinda of humor. Very nicely done!! 10/10 [imagem_2023-05-03_231904377.png](///raw/200/a5/z/5b31c.png)

He really is a special guy. You weren't kidding about it taking a while to load which is odd since its just a simple clicker game. The filling out of captchas was a nice twist on an existing genre and I enjoyed collecting all of the cursor icons. Once I could disregard the captchas it turned into a normal clicker game and I wouldv'e liked to see you do a bit more with this style of game. I did like the art but unless I missed something there was no audio which was unfortunate. The game was cute, nice work!

For a clicker game that was actually really enjoyable! I absolutely loved the graphics and the models for it and it was actually super enjoyable! I also really liked the mice that would appear on the bottom of the screen with the image search upgrade! Good job all in all!

OMFG THAT ENDING SCREEN DAJKDASDJASK ;w;w this game is AMAZING i LOVE the web aesthetic, the cute characters, the music, the challenges and words on the captchas, this game is full of personality and charisma. Also, I'm a sucker for idle games so this was like made for me.

khaotom 2023-05-04 02:30

Excellent clicker! The theme is really fun.

cheesecube 2023-05-04 02:34

Fun if you like cookie clicker, loaded fast for me, very polished for a gamejam

lara-menendez 2023-05-04 02:55

I'm super in love with this game!!! Immaculate vibes, I adore the whole concept, I'm a sucker for web-inspired games and I would love to see an extended release with unlimited gameplay!! I would play it a ton. Everything is so cuuuuute, love the blend between 3d and 2d. Amazing job :3 !!!

abipup 2023-05-04 02:56

This game is so cute!!! i love the graphics and the silly guy there ^_^! i luv seeing 3d models mixed with 2d this turned out so good u guys nailed it :hearts:

gmstochetto 2023-05-04 06:24

I found the art adorable, I liked the use of captchas, as the game becomes something more than just clicking. I also really enjoyed the computer interface and would love to see more things added (although I know 72 hours is not a lot of time xD). I also appreciated that it's not an endless clicker game with exaggerated values. Overall, I found it to be a solid game that delivers a good experience.

2023-05-04 06:58

Super cute art, excellent UX/UI design, and I am so addicted to it and trying to get the best score. Bravo!

littleblackdog 2023-05-04 07:04

I love this game, lol! I thought the idea is so fun, the vibe is perfect, and I love the gameplay. Clickers are so fun! Well done, this was really enjoyable <3

amango 2023-05-04 23:13

genuine question where can i buy the lil guy irl

(super fun submission, nailed down the vibes with this cute idle clicker. who knew captchas could be so fun :) )

meepy 2023-05-05 08:11

thank you everyone for playing, and for all the kind words!!! (;3;)/

@luriq that's exactly the vibe, thanks for noticing! definitely was inspired from past experiences downloading sketchy illegitimate programs online as a kid, e.g. trying to get a free copy of photoshop or a chatbot that supposedly would do your homework. fortunately there are no viruses here, but i still think all the desktop clutter and popups are rather nostalgic haha

@ruddgasm the secret is... we couldn't figure out how to import 3d models for the animations in time, so we just had to import every frame (out of hundreds, each rendered at exorbitantly high resolution) manually as sprites. that final delivery scene takes 10 minutes to build each time... :'3 alas, we ran out of time and couldn't fit in more of the features that we had planned. hoping to work on it more post-jam. thanks for the thoughtful comments! wish you could've got to hear the music too!

@amango visit buy-a-guy.com today and get your guy, dare you try?

also im glad to hear that our game was actually kinda fun for people who don't usually enjoy the clicker genre. w00t!

aurel300 2023-05-05 21:43

Fun game, glad it wasn't too long (clickers get old). I found it funny that the only thing not automated was the "I'm not a robot" checkbox itself. Chill music, cool graphics. Could have used more variety towards the end! I was going to ask why it took so long to load and I just read your response… oof :D

laflaurine 2023-05-06 22:32

It is so funny to see a clicker in a jam! Reminds me of this kind of website : https://98.js.org/

The art is really amazing / funny, I really enjoyed playing it even tho clicker can sometimes be a bit harsh. Great job !!

yumykon 2023-05-07 02:47

I absolutely loved the aesthetics of this game - I'm a big fan of games that take place on desktops, and the art in this one is awesome! The gameplay is also really fun and kept me hooked until the end, thanks to my curiosity about the features that are unlocked by score at Grimm's Wares. And all the features are useful and cool! I had a lot of fun playing this game, and I especially loved the special delivery at the end - now I won't run out of teddy bears to hug! Congratulations on creating such a great game! \(^▽^)/

rayqdr 2023-05-09 00:52

As a big fan of clicker game, this one with Captcha are pretty original ! I enjoyed playing it even if sometime i got stuck (maybe i didn't know how to read ahah) but it was cool ! Keep going

nastasya 2023-05-09 07:58

I really love the game! Great graphics~ Such a cozy game

bqq 2023-05-10 23:05

Hah genius take on an auto*clicker*, of course the Captcha would come for you, and having the upgrades be shady exes to bypass them is just amazing :D Great aesthetics and sounds, the picture problems were funny as well, shame that they got automated away in the end. All in all very cohesive and fun experience!

alks 2023-05-10 23:52

Such a great idea! Love it! Has to be the funnies game I have played this jam! Of course the core experience of clicking games is the same but you have managed to add to it in such unique and interesting ways! Amazing work all of you!

dreamerflow 2023-05-11 00:33

Oh men, I almost give up, Im not a fan of the clicker games but this one is not bad, I test my writing skills and my patience lol but I make it to the end, nice graphics and idea, the spam get me crazy, cool job!

prismapunch 2023-05-12 21:36

very very funny iteration of a clicker game. love the funny spinning bear dog. overall visual design is perfect.

petronus 2023-05-14 18:51

When I first saw its a clicker game, I was not very into it, but then played and got addicted. Did not think a clicker can be that much short time fun. Really liked the improvements, new "tools" and getting the clicks faster and faster. The whole automatisation concept was great. Really enjoyed this title

picross 2023-05-17 03:52

This is so good. I love the Hypnospace Outlaw vibes. I love all the little references and details, like the infinite monkey theorem lol. Great design and overall fantastic work!
