I need 3 more mouse to play this game )
Great clicker, I thought you'd messed up early on leaving too little room so that the numbers had to go to exponents (more digits = more satisfying), but it turned out to be completely necessary for the late game pay off. The numbers really do go up!
this is no doubt a very very well designed game :v although it has a little to do with the theme
This has been one of my favorite submissions so far! I have always been addicted to these kind of games of progressively getting more and more multipliers and getting absurd numbers! This was really well done, so thank you for the experience. The art looks good, the music sounds good too, and the descriptions were really fun. The idea of naming the currency "curiosity", given the theme, honestly just made me laugh. It's so great, I love it!
One of the best parts is that you managed to create from this style of games something really interactive. A lot of time these incremenetal games get to a point in which you don't have to do anything, just watch and wait. This is fine obviously, but I appreciate the switch in gameplay. Having to control multiple minigames at the same time was simply genius man! congrats! It gets a little crazy controlling everything, and then I tried to do combos with the difficulty setting and the radioactive thingy which resets all minigames. Simply awesome. It was a really good experience. The ideas that you had were fun, smart and enjoyable.
My only note is that numbers get too high too quickly. They always do in these games, but here already at the fourth door you can see it costs 3.000e4. So you're already leaning to scientific notation! It feels like you don't have enough time to savor those early stages in which you earn almost nothing, and as you slowly build up, but only after a while, numbers start getting absurd. Kind of like in cookie clicker but in a much shorter time frame. I probably would slow the progress down, make the first doors give less curiosity, and let it build up. And also, I would only lean to scientific notation after the billions. Most people can easily recognize up to the millions and tenths of millions, so the build up looks so much better. Only then you go to that famous e.
Amazing game!
Thanks a lot for the detailed review! I truly appreciate the feedback.
Been some time i got that worn out! Nice job!
My hand hurts ! Seriously, the game was really cool. I don't have time to finish it but it was really fun (especially for a idle door game).
Интересный Игра! Мне понравилась!
Cool game, i used to love this type of game play when i had more time, so re try it was really cool :)
The music is quite calm which is nice! Didn't suspect an idle / interactive game!
Tho having like 0.000 is quite weird to see most people do just 1 or 3 and not like 1.000 also for 1000 would do 1K cause 1e4 is kinda too much chemistry for me haha.
Other than that the mechanics are cool, but maybe too much!
Genuinely delightful, kept me curious alright. A very well balanced incremental game and kept throwing new mechanics at me. Awesome job!
My pointer finger definitely just got a workout. Very interactive, almost reminded me of those fidget cubes. Great work!
Very very funny ! Way funnier than a normal clicker !
This is the first time I've ever seen a clicker game like this and it was very cool! Great job with this.
I can't manage this many things at the same time...
Cool concept though!
Why don't more clicker games like this exist? This was amazing! I love the micro-management.
I had never played a clicker type game with such a varied range of clicking mechanics!! Usually it's only clicking and getting upgrades that do more clicking lol. Was hooked on it lol
