I love number goes up type of games! Drew me in and I got stuck playing for quite a while :)

@justuspan you just have to click in the window and it will finish loading.

I enjoyed the theming of the creatures, the music is nice for this kind of game. I wish there was a little box around the currently selected worker, so its easier to tell what "mouse mode" you are in.

Music and atmosphere is on point!

Nice job! I wish there was a mark made on the resources that were currently being worked, but otherwise a functional little game. I enjoyed the sprite work quite a bit!

Nice incremental game, love watching my slimes do all the work for me. I feel like it could be a little faster, gathering 1k resources takes quite a while, also maybe workers could seek out work for themselves? Ordering them to a patch feels a bit fiddly.

Clicker/idle games are fun to play for me. Enjoyed the idea of upgrading the portal.

Good game, but I think you could improve it by making the camera move with both the cursor and wasd. Also, when I click on the portal, the menu should not close if i can summon further minions or upgrade the portal.

Man, you can't do this to me, I have to work, have a family, have to sleep. This is my jam, one of my favourites so far. Wouln'd stop playing until my last second of life. Thank you

I liked it ! It's simple and efficient :) There's something mesmerizing to looking at your growing base with its tiny dots like ants ! congrats !

Oh no :) A game where numbers are going up, that's the ones I spend way to much time on... It's fun and fascinating to watch ! Cute slimes :) It would ne nice if we could drag the map with the mouse/cursor and if the demonic iron/pure essence was faster, I think it took me more time to upgrade the portal at this step than all the others combined. It would also be convenient if the slime selected the closest best resource where you click :)

Good gameplay, a bit slow to start but nice and relaxing.

Nice clicker / resource gathering game. Basic numbers go up but this worked quite nicely.

Little quality of life would have been indication what resources are being gathered or small line from slimes to resources they are working on.

It got little bit hectic after few upgrades :)

Very nice, I had to stop myself from playing because it is so addictive! Maybe I missed something, but it would be nice to see the characteristics of the different units before spawning them. Nice game nonetheless!

Could use some UI improvements. Like highlighting resources that already have a worker. Or showing which worker is selected. And so on. But other than that it's a solid resource gathering / worker manager game.

I did it, I maxed out the portal, plus summoned all demons and slimes! Now all that's left is to watch the riches roll in!

Incredibly fun game, it's so much fun to see the numbers go up higher and higher to incredible values, you really nailed that sense of progression that makes these games so enjoyable! Also the little slimes with their hard hats are cute, I liked their sprites a lot. The music and art really help set that darker atmosphere, I liked how it all came together. All around super fun game, great job!

The idea is simple, yet why can't I stop playing? I had to reach the final stretch and get everything until I felt I could give a review.

The worker slimes are cute. The fact you give information about every item in the game is a nice touch for usability; Frankly my only suggestion in that sense in this level would be that I would like something like middle mouse button press panning of the camera.

A strong entry, it is very effective, in theme, the sprites are cute, and the ways things start to move in more advanced stages are, on a lack of a better term, particle-system-level-of-pretty. That is a single word by the way!
