Version 0.4.0 has a black hole

Googol Idle Game
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello to all who are still counting or are about to count to infinity.

As I already said, this was starting as a very small prototype. Just to learn how to use LÖVE2D as a game engine for game jams.

But I had a lot of feedback and also a good amount of people who bought the game, even if it is free to download. This was such a great feeling and that was the reason i put more energy to this tiny project :)

With 0.4.0 I added a lot more quality of life but also new gameplay elements. Let me show you:

Features:

  • A game timer that counts the time you played the game
  • Added a lot more number units to present all kinds of numbers till a Googol
  • You can now upgrade the buy buttons to increase the updates value of them
  • counter control - you can only buy new counters when the last loops at least one time
  • New mouse cursor for extra fun - took me a long time
  • Particle FX for the updated counters, intensity increases each level
  • Added 5 more background images
  • Added 4 more chilling music tracks

Bugfixes

  • New balancing of costs for upgrades, but still space for improvements I think
  • Zooming, Panning and resetting
    • zoom has now much more levels so you can overview all 100 counters if you could reach that amount
    • panning is now mich smoother and jittering at higher amounts of counters are fixed
  • Tooltips now showing up even on disabled buttons
    • Tooltips also have now the correct z-index :)

Planed Features

  • achievements
    • save game versioning (compatibility for save games)
  • counter buffs
  • random events
