A good interpretation of the theme, a fun clicker game, and interesting mechanics. Placing down buildings was satisfying, I like how they aligned to the planet circle. As others have said, it needs balance work and could use another mechanic in there.

I like the gloomy aspect of the game, the sense of impending doom with the music.

It does remind me of this game though :

But also, the clicker and idle aspect reminded me of this video

Good entry!

Oh, that blackthornprod game looks so juicy. I need more animations in my game! Thanks for the feedback.

Watching the video a bit more, looks like even the game idea is similar to mine! :)

Hey Elektito! This was a pretty interesting entry. I really liked the core concept. It's crazy how much just balancing some numbers can change a game completely. I think the game starts off pretty strong. And then you hit this super grindy mid to end game. At any rate, I destroyed the planet lol. Winni- wait a second. :P

Fluffland: Dawn of the Bunnies

Thanks for playing D4ys, and for the feedback. I realized too late into development that balancing this game would be very very hard, especially in the short time that I had, so in the end I settled for it being just "winnable"! :)

I love how atmospheric and chill this game is. As previous commenters said there's a tiny bump where you start waiting for a few upgrades but I play quite a few Idle games and said bump isn't too uncommong to be honest. An idea would be to add another mechanic that keeps the user occupied in those moments. There's a few incremental games out there that are open-source maybe look at these for some inspiration for working out your formulas and whatnot, one very involved one that's one of my favourites would be https://github.com/pmotschmann/Evolve

Yeah, I'd be sure to take a look at that. Thanks.

I found myself getting board of the gameplay very quickly.

Lots of clicking and waiting and clicking without much strategy.

Just wait until I can afford something place it and click upgrade 5 times. click through all the buildings clicking upgrade, then place another building and repeat.

The graphics are nice though.

I guess even for an idle game, it's a bit dull. Thanks for playing.

Blender Lets Play!Submitted3 years ago

Not bad for a jam though. And its a hard problem! I would totally struggle to make that style of game interesting. Even professorially build games in that genera can get dull.

I wonder what makes the really good ones fun.

elektitoDeveloper3 years ago (1 edit)

That's a good question, and I don't know. There's this idle breakout game for example that I enjoy every once in a while. Not in long bursts though, but it's fun watching numbers go crazy high and high. There used to be a time that I was into Adventure Capitalist too. All get boring after a while though, but I don't mind playing a bit here and there. Still, not sure what makes an idle game be above just an accelerating counter.

reflection of our reality, I like the minimalist design, the sfx, simply everything. Good Work!

it's funny that it is submitted "43 seconds before the deadline" XD

Great job done. Like die Music it greats a awesome atmosphere. Also the Design/UI is nice minemalistic and intuitive.

Really fun game and sadly, it is realistic. The music fit in well and the controls were very intuitive.

Thanks for giving this a try. I do hope that we don't get to the end-game in real life.

Not a bad clicker game! I feel like there are a lot of icons and numbers and systems that I wasn't sure how they all interacted, but keeping everything as maxed as possible seems to work pretty well.

Thanks for the feedback. I know the game could use a better help system, but sadly I run out of time for that. I've added some explanation to the itch page, but I know that's not a replacement for actual in-game help.
