Fun idle game, the satellite buff hit me with quite the dopamine, ah ah!

the game feels really great, I love the art style, but it took me a while to figure out how to unlock the new currency… it would be nice to have worker purchases in a separate tab

tweekus 2026-04-20 08:14

That style is awesome, I like it

I was waiting for this!! I saw your post and loved the art already. It is a very nice game! Could go well with some USSR themed music :)

Definitely one of my favourite entries. You absolutely nailed down the concept you were going for, it felt complete and polished with great art and sound design.

You should be proud of this. Brilliant job!

allexeee 2026-04-20 16:59

Good game! Good job!

Hello from XK discord!

Excellent visual style. I especially liked how the page design on itch complements the game itself!

paracorn 2026-04-20 17:37

Thank you so much, guys, I really appreciate it!

Pretty cool! Feels like a nice classic incremental game! Everything you need is there - start by manually getting resources, quickly figure out how to get some passive income and level up everything. And then additional resources start showing up. Nice! I really liked the way satellites were implemented - instead of just giving you a flat bonus, they sped up your income considerably for a while. That felt more satisfying. Also a nice idea was having job licenses being something working for all jobs and having separate cost in each resource! And pretty damn good work on the visual side as well, and while it is just a tiny thing, I really enjoyed the sight of all the workers running around at the base of my radio tower.

I’m really grateful to you that these details made such an impression. It means a lot to me!

This one's a lot of fun, like cookie clicker but BETTER!!!

Fun little clicker game. I think the 4 color layout of everything makes it a very aesthetically pleasing design. I also really liked the lil guys wandering around and the way getting the sputnik thingies made the sound go nuts. I think my only complaint would be that it was a little unclear where I should be pressing for manual clicking. The first hut you get seems to be the only one to click on to gain more, but if that isn't the case then there isn't enough feedback elsewhere to know.

paracorn 2026-04-20 23:59

Thank you. I'll try to fix this by changing the cursor's appearance when manual mode is allowed.

Cookie Clicker, but you're a signal tower :D. If there were just a little more variety in the upgrades and a few more activities, this would be a great game. The visuals are really stylish—I liked them.

toshiy 2026-04-21 04:21

I love this visual!

roboolet 2026-04-21 05:04

Aesthetically pleasing and somehow manages to innovate in the incremental game genre which i thought was impossible. It's really interesting how this is basically many small clicker games in one game. Also thank you so much for just letting me hold down my mouse :pray:

drainkid 2026-04-21 06:11

Fun short clicker with great visuals, nice job :)

nidoprince 2026-04-21 08:48

Really nice aesthetic. Nice to have a clicker game you can actually finish in not too long. Loved the scale of the people getting smaller as the tower got bigger.

ionax 2026-04-21 12:52

I like how it is possible to play on my phone. Great Entry!

stisdan 2026-04-21 13:19

This is a super stylish incremental game with a killer aesthetic and satisfying sound design especially when the satellite buffs kick in for that dopamine rush and i loved watching the little workers run around as the tower scaled up

crowelian 2026-04-21 18:09

I really enjoyed my time with this! It’s always impressive to see what can be achieved in such a short time!

The art is unbelievably beautiful. Every asset feels intentional, and the color palette/style are perfect.

hdvr02 2026-04-21 22:08

A very satisfying clicker with a clean and appealing visual style!

Cool idle/clicker game, don't know what it is about pixel people running around but i always love to see that :D

Gameplay was smooth, color theme and sprites where amazing, felt really good - would've liked a sound for the upgrade button, and the ability to play the game as a true idle game and not just win at some point, maybe with a "end the war now" button to choose ^^

But really great work!

shakirovich 2026-04-22 04:18

​Very satisfying idle game, art is very nice. Id like to have some secondary events happening, like someone attacking the tower etc.

evgenii-petrov 2026-04-22 13:29

Nice compact clicker, with clear progression and very satisfying temporary buff thing =)

lemonchicken47 2026-04-22 14:23

Really like the vibe, could be nice to have some secondary mechanics to play with

custodi 2026-04-22 19:30

Nice visual work with 3 colors, but at lategame it becomes too boring to farm only contracts for workers.

reed-molbak 2026-04-23 00:48

Nice art style! I agree w/ some of the above comments that it could have used a little more to do (which is always a weird balance with idle games, different people like different amounts I suppose). It doesn't help that itch doesn't like running games in the background if you open a different tab :sweat_smile:

roroto-sic 2026-04-24 08:15

Very good clicker ! awesome mood created by visual and audio !

termegus 2026-04-24 09:09

Cool game, reminded me a lot of Tower Wizard, especially the progression, the only thing I didn't like was audio, a little too harsh on the ears.

ottobroccoli 2026-04-24 15:07

A solid incremental game that follows the genre’s core principles. Great work!

tapot 2026-04-25 14:13

cool beeep beeep beeep beeeep!

wdebowicz 2026-04-26 20:47

Cool iterative game, I really like the cold war mood and tiny art elements like running people.

garyglhf 2026-04-28 10:01

Здорово, очень красиво. Механика простая и понятная.

pavel-goncharov 2026-04-29 02:43

I like the overall scope you achieved for a game jam. Everything looks polished, and the progression feels good. One thing that started to annoy me very quickly, though, was the beeping sounds. You may want to put more thought into the sound effects and music for the full release.

Overall, it’s a great jam game, and in my opinion, it has potential for a full Steam release if you can add more content, for example enough for 2–3 hours of gameplay.

cataclysmicknight 2026-04-30 16:34

I got 10:03, and I'm super happy with that :D I'm a huge idle game fan, although I'll admit that despite the outline around the tower, I thought I had to click on the tiny little black dots flying by, and none of em ever counted 😅 But after a moment, this was super solid! The ending especially got me 😮

zirrrus 2026-05-01 10:37

Really solid game with just the right scope for a jam, well done!
