Unusual game... Probably more Interactive Art than game... But I had a bit of fun with it and my "Time Player" in the itch.io app was longer than I thought it would be, so you've definately done something right :)

Very strange game, is the real point to share ressources equally? It seemed like the most efficient way to get to the end anyway.

The presentation and music were really nice :)

Thanks for your feedback!

Well, there isn't too much strategy behind it all. Distributing more points to the characters that come in later yields more, cause they have a higher base value. And the base value of all characters is raised by the highest animation level reached overall. That's pretty much all there is to it.

The real point though is just to watch the animations and the story unfold. And I agree, the game is a bit on the weird side :)

The graphics and audio/music are both really good. I only wonder, is there anything more to the gameplay? I understand the upgrades and that they reset when you click, but I stopped when nothing happened anymore once I unlocked the third character.

 If there's anything more to the game, please tell me, I'll play it again.

Thanks so much for your feedback!

There really isn't that much more to the gameplay (though there are five characters in total, but the mechanics are the same).

But there is a story behind it and more animations to see. The game ends when reaching animation 10 with any character, which doesn't take that long to reach (at some point you just might want to stop resetting). If you want to give it another shot that'd be awesome :)

Just got the ending, and this is some deep lore :). I'll make the rating a bit higher I think, for actually having an ending in your game.

By the way, I feel like you earn more money (or whatever it is) faster if you reset once they finish their second animation.
