Tell us about your game!
You start with a single map tile and have to generate income (spores) in order to advance. You need to collect enough income to spread your influence to new map tiles which brings you closer to collecting two key items and increase passive income. You may also use income to upgrade the captured tiles to increase your income generation. The game ends when you have captured the two key tiles found on the map.

You only need a mouse to play.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Interesting take on the clicker/incremental genre. I think the balancing is all right. For me the map was a bit hard to understand. Even if I got all the info I needed when I howered over stuff, and also lots of the explanations are very clear. I only realised at almost the end that the random numbers represent the degree of the given tile :D 
I think this game would benefit a lot from SFX and music, and also the kinda simple art that your capsule art has would be nice to see ingame too. With all that said, very good entry, it was enjoyable to play it through!

Thank you for playing and giving some feedback! We wanted to add some sfx and music, but left it out of the gamejam due to time constraints. As for the map, we want to make it so its a bit easier to understand the difference between the tile types and to provide the info you need. The numbers used right now are just a temporary tile ID.

Awesome idle game that doesn't need any additional fancy graphics because the systems laid out are well designed and fun to explore and work with. Awesome!

Fun game, Pretty addicting gameplay loop. Would like to see a bit more visual effects, but pretty fun

Thanks! Would love to have had more time to implement animations, visual effects, etc. to the user interface :D
