Fun clicker! I think my fridge got too moldy and webGL noped out lol

Well done!!

enjoyed this one. The mould spreading was oddly satisfying to watch and the upgrades kept things moving nicely. Overall it was a fun and unique take on the theme. Nice work

Now, this is an interesting take on the theme. Such a relaxing and cozy game. Nicely done!

Developer

A relaxing game, despite the subject matter :)

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This is such a unique game idea! Its really fun and well done, the only complaint I would have is that the microbes are pretty hard to hit at times.

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! :) Hopefully we get to making it better!

Great job with your game. I am a sucker for a good clicker game. Your game is fun to play and has a unique setting. I liked watching the numbers go up and the mold spread. I think I got to the end since it didn't seem to spread any further. I would've liked to have seen a message or something if that was the case. Overall, great job. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thanks for playing. Glad to hear you liked it! :) Indeed we need to add a "well done!" screen!

Great concept and environment!  IMHO I think the clicking mechanic should be a lot easier to do.  Usually in these types of games, the only hard aspects are figuring out what do next, plan for, and learning the UI.  Getting the player to precisely click on a very small/tiny circle may be too much.  You could expand the clickable area and hide it with some extra particle effects/texturing.  I would say maybe grant an ability to hold down the mouse to sweep over areas.  Just some food for thought.  GJ!

Edit:  Just realized I was using the high speed settings on my mouse so maybe that also factored into how hard it was.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Yeah - I have a very slow mouse usually, so definitely didn't consider the other extremes experience :).

It's simple and fun, the art is great, I simply love it.

the only  thing I would say is a tutorial would be great as it took me time to figure out what to do.

Great job you guys!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Simple fun - would love to see u guys make more things rot away in this fashion - I would be there to play it !

Developer

Thanks for playing! We might take this a bit further when the jam ends!

This game almost needed a trigger warning with all that mold haha, gotta say it was quite nasty. I like the incremental feel though and being able to upgrade the speed and size. The game ended by crashing for me, I dont know if you have implemented an end state or that is how it ends? Nevertheless, I think it's quite a novel idea, so kudos for that!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback! We need to reproduce and fix that crash then! At the moment there is no end, other than the fridge being mostly covered with mold to the point it stops growing!

Reminds me of catastrophic scenes of my hot sauce fridge going moldy! xD haha - I enjoyed watching the mold slowly grow, nice job! Im not sure if the game has an end or not. My game crashed when I bought a bunch of area extension with an out of bounds acception (I believe it was). Congrats on making your game though :D 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the comment! There is no official end at the moment, the mold should just grow until it covers most of the fridge. Will have to check that crash out though! Thanks for reporting!

Submitted

I sure had a full moldy fridge so I consider that succesful woo! If it helps tack the crash - I had about 70 yellow and spammeed buying area really quick (out of muscle memory for similar games). :)
