It's fun and quite addictive too! And the 3D models and environments are well made too. ^_^
Great game. I can't stop playing it. At first I feel a bit boring but now I can't stop. I wonder if that's how Santa really work. Poor elf
Nice work! There's some social message in there somewhere about automation devaluing the workers, lol. The simple visual style of the level looks great, although the detailed elf models look a bit out-of-place. The Yogs references were subtle but fun, and the music was good too. It would be nice if there was some kind of ending, but overall I really enjoyed this! :-)
Yeah I agree that some sort of ending would have been nice, I sadly just did not have the time. Haha yes those elves definitely don't belong, it's just the only half decent rigged model I could find.
It's been a long time I haven't played a clicker... and I think I played one of the best so far!
Visual
Visually, it's really wonderful. I liked exploring the map (hi little grass cube), and all assets go well together!
Audio
The BGM is good, the SFX too, but when you have all the factories unlocked with all the elves, it makes a bit too much noise imo.
Tutorials
Not the perfect tutorials, but they are here and short, and that's a pretty good point!
Gameplay
Fun
Talking about fun, I really loved playing that game, I had lots of fun waking up elves (that's stupid but I love that) and destroying my left mouse click.
Bugs
When you look upwards, you can see the inside of your head.
If you walk behind the portal, there is a little snow flying in the sky, idk if that's intended.
Theme
Definitely in the theme, with gameplay and "story".
Wow thank you so much! This is some super awesome feedback and definitely very helpful. "mindlessly improve everything then afk" Thank you for noticing that, that was exactly my train of thought as well! Though it is not actually your own head you are seeing but your hat. :p Thanks for playing my game! <3<3
Holy exponential growth, Batman!
Making a clicker game 3D does indeed make it more interesting for someone who doesn't normally like that genre. Nice progression in the game. Is there an ending? I unlocked and upgraded everything a few times, wasn't sure how long it keeps going. Also the powerups don't feel super useful, but I like the idea :)
Thanks :) No there is not really an ending, you're basically done when you've unlocked everything.
I normally don't like clicker games, but making it 3D and letting you walk around in singleplayer made it a lot more interesting, nice design choice! Like the hidden Lewis pictures. It was fun to slap the elves back into work by upgrading them!
Thought this would be an interesting few minutes. It's been twenty. Give it a go!!
One of the games that I played more than 20 minutes. I feel like I can play it even more if it had more stuff. Thank you for making me feel like Jeff Bezos for a couple of minutes. 5 stars from me!
I really liked this, could see my self playing this for way too long lol. Very satisfying hiring all the workers, and hearing them hammer away. Very well made and fun take on a clicker game, good job!
This was a fun take on clickers! I thought the second Stargate was supposed to be at the south pole though!
My only real feedback is please make sure to always include an option to invert the mouse Y axis. Otherwise it's very disorienting for those of us whose brains work that way!
Thank you, that is a good idea, I will definitely keep that in mind for my next game. I also have forgotten about a sensitivity slider, lol.
This could honestly be a fun tycoon game if you decided to develop this further, it played well and held my attention. Nice art as well and good to see Bee Lewis in the wild
It's a nice little clicker 3D game. Quite enjoyable.
Im a sucker for a good tycoon game. Well done!
Good evening,
First of all I have to say that I didn't download the game. So I don't know what exactly is different to the web version. I think that we can agree that the focus was more on the art than the gameplay which was rather limited. I myself am a gameplay oriented person and therefore have less to say to the graphical side of things but I still have to say that I did like it. Especially the bottles next to the factory (but please don't read anything into that).
Good morning. :p I'll be honest and say that I am also actually more of a gameplay and a mechanics person myself. But I wanted to try some art stuffs, and I am relatively happy with how it turned out.
I agree with one of the other comments on here, this is quite addictive (I have played longer than I would like to admit), and of course with all of these games there is some polish and things that could be done. The only real things I would bring up is I am not sure how this fits the theme of surprise, I might have missed something though (unless it was the like upgrade system when you got happiness).
I also agree with another comment on here that I would probably have used the portal for something else, it said something about exploring (unless it is the lack of sleep making me imagine things) but then it is just another toy maker.
all in all it is pretty damn good.
Oh really, I feel like it fits the theme quite well. But yeah I agree with you that the portal should have done something cool, some 'present dimension' would have been awesome, I sadly just did not have the time.
Things I liked:
Truth be told I played this for a lot longer than I would care to admit. There is a natural addictiveness in watching numbers rise that you capture quite well here. Between that and the act of repeatedly abusing lazy elves I got to say it was actually really engaging.
Things that could be better:
I got to say after you unlock everything, the overlapping sounds gets to be quite a lot, especially considering it seems like it doesn't really matter where in the map you are so you are just constantly hearing hammering of toys happening all the time. In addition, it felt like a big let down that when I saved up enough to unlock the portal and even upgraded it a few times that all it ended up being was an additional toy maker. I feel like an opportunity was lost their to have that be your end game.
You have made probably the most addicting game made in a game jam yet, definitely something to be happy about!
Thank you! :) Yeah I seem to have done something wrong with the audio, that is something that I definitely need to keep in mind next time, haha! Having the portal to do something else would have definitely been cool, I just did not have the time sadly.
best game 5/7
10/10 would play again,
Very nice to have some old man elf bois making presents to sacrifice to the portal God.
Thank you for playing my game! Please note that I strongly recommend you download the executable. Please tell me what you think; feedback is always greatly appreciated.
