Hey everyone! ๐
I'm super excited to announce that Project Pumping! is officially live on itch.io!
๐Play it here
This is my first devlog, and honestly, this moment feels kinda surreal. Project Pumping started as a small idea: what if I could turn real-world protests into a clicker game? It quickly grew into something much more personal — a tribute to the spirit of students and everyday people fighting for a better future in Serbia.
You start with a lone protester. Tap to generate "pumps" — the energy of the people! Use those to rally supporters, from fingers and raised hands to workers and students with banners. The more supporters you gather, the more pumps you generate automatically. It's simple, but there's heart behind every click.
Inspired by games like Cookie Clicker and Overcooked, this game mixes idle mechanics with a bold political edge. And yes — it's playable on both PC and mobile!
Project Pumping is built using Preact, HTML/CSS, and some good old determination. I wanted it to be super lightweight and run right in the browser, so anyone can jump in and play without downloads.
This is just the beginning! Iโve got plans for:
New supporter types ๐
Upgradable protest gear (megaphones, banners, coffee, trucks.. etc)
Environmental and management modes ๐ณ
Sound & music updates ๐ง
And maybe even mini-events inspired by real news stories…
If you've taken the time to click, play, or even just read this, thank you. It means the world. โค๏ธ
I'd love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or wild ideas — drop a comment or message me!
Letโs keep pumping. PUMPAAAJ!
