I love this game! It's so much fun and enjoyable. I spent a long time experimenting just to beat it!
Wah that's awesome! What strategies did you think worked best? :O
I liked concept and gameplay ! Tower defence and autoclicker genres together seems really fun !
Happy you liked it! ^_^ Thanks for playing
I almost wish there wasn't autoclick in the name because I was about to miss out on this game (not the biggest fan of autoclickers). Cool idea of mixing both auto clickers and a tower defense - feels like it's a tower defense ++. Good job!
Haha, whew, glad the thumbnail still got you somehow!! XD
We weren't sure about the title tbh but when I got the idea for the logo with the A that's a cursor we kinda just went for it!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed :)
This is fun! Always think tower defense is a stale genre, and it's always a blast when people try to do it with a different light. Combining auto auto-clicker with a tower defense is certainly a nice idea, and I can see how that may evolve. Nice work on that! The graphics are super nice. Very cute cats too. The gameplay is satisfying and quite balanced, though after getting the hang of the game and how the upgrade works, it becomes much easier than I should be. Also, what on earth even is fortday XD that's hilarious. I like this game a lot.
For some criticism, I'd say being able to put only a few cats (towers) on the board really undermines the free-building tower defence game's potential a lot. It's that type of game where you build a long labyrinth that forces enemies to go through, and I really miss that fun. I would think there is a missed opportunity of placing the upgrades directly on the board. Also, a few more cats would be nice too, mining cats, clicking cats etc you get the idea. Other than that, the game was pretty polished, and I don't think there is much to criticise. Well done!
Thanks for playing!! ^_^
Yeah if you're familiar with the genre, you'd probably wanna switch to Hard pretty early on I guess ^_^" I might add a way to detect if the player is beating the game too easily and offer them to up the difficulty at the end of levels.
You can increase the amount of cats you can place with the bottom-most upgrade but I guess overall it's quite limited yeah.
What do you mean by placing upgrades directly on the board? By the way, were you aware you can upgrade the cats you place by left clicking on them? Once they reach lvl 10 they can upgrade into one of two types with left or right click. (Archer -> Mage OR Crossbow). When I update the game though I'll add probably a third base type, but the idea is really that they branch off as you upgrade them.
Thanks again for playing and taking the time to leave detailed feedback ^_^
By placing on the board, I mean having the upgrades for cursor, miner, dice etc. as buildings of some sort, so you don't need to have a sidebar on the right. I don't know. It feels like if you are going for a monitor as the design the sidebar seems a bit out of place. And you already have different icons on screen anyway, so I feel like they can be combined together? Just random thoughts :)
And I am not aware that you can upgrade the archer to a mage cat or a crossbow cat. It already sounds cute without even seeing them. For my playthrough, I mainly focus on economy and quantity. By making the path as bad as possible for the enemies, I don't think I need to upgrade any cats to level 10. It's a shame I don't get the chance to see cute mage cat :)
Ohh I see, so they could be one extra thing used to block enemy paths. Interesting!
Hmm maybe 10 is a bit too high? I feel like most people didn't see them haha. I'll have to think about all this after the jam ^_^
This is really fun, and well made. This is quite polished and I can't think of any feedbacks for improvement. Will love to have an infinity mode.
Overall, great job!!! This is really fun.
Yeah an endless mode has been mentionned a few times! I might add it sometime after the jam ^_^ stay tuned ~ <3
Thanks for playing, really happy you liked it ^_^
Really cool game! I love clicker games and tower defense so this was a great combo in my opinion. The upgrades felt nice and it was fun to place my cat towers down to defend the computer. The try hard mode is no joke, I couldn't beat the first level lol. Great work!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it ^_^
Yeah Tryhard is pretty brutal :'(
Fun game and interesting idea, well done!
Thank you!! :)
Very fun game, I will never update my computer again!
The true danger is plugging it to the Internet!! (Thanks for playing ^_^ <3)
Quickly engaged with the gameplay. Very fun to play !
Glad you liked it! <3 Thanks for playing ^_^
Very fun game! The different difficulties were fun to play with! I am convinced Try Hard level 3 is impossible, but I think there was an opportunity for me to play better. I beat the game on normal difficulty, and wanted to see the difference of difficulty, and there definitely was one lol. Very solid overall, intuitive controls/mechanics, clean and consistent art style, and great gameplay loop.
Glad you had fun! ^_^
Yeah Tryhard is always on the very limit of being possible haha. You beat level 1 and 2 on Tryhard!??
Thanks for playing ^_^ it makes me very happy to see people enjoying it <3
I loved it! The visuals were super great, and everything was really pleasing too!
I love when idle games allow you to hold the click. The combination with the tower defense genre worked really well too, with an incredible pacing and gameplay. The story was funny too.
All in all, an addictive experience. I beat the game on Normal mode, and tried out TryHard mode but was defeated instantly. I had a lot of fun, thank you!
Yay!! ^_^ Glad you liked it!
Yeah Tryhard might be a tad overtuned .. I'm not sure, I guess the point is that it's barely possible haha.
Thanks so much for playing <3 :)
Love the aesthetics of this game! The black and white 1bit style is peak and a great stylistic choice to match the narrative. Gameplay felt clean enjoying too. Smart choice to also go for levels instead of just an endless "clicker" mode. It felt more engaging switching to different layouts.
Will say, I'm not sure if it was a "bug" or not, but I noticed that some of the enemies could turn invisible and would reappear. Not sure if that was intentional, if so, maybe some particles might be nice to differentiate between killing an enemy versus them turning invisible. Led me to some confusion but it wasn't enough to impact my experience.
Great stuff!

Yay I'm quite happy you liked it! :)
Yeah some people didn't really like restarting over too much and asked for an endless mode, but I think it's nice. I don't know, I might offer two different modes eventually, and maybe add something you can keep between levels? Not sure. I personally like the feeling of starting over and thinking "I'll optimize it a bit better this time" lol
Ah that's good feedback! Yeah the invisible monsters are 100% on purpose but I didn't think about the fact that they don't have a death animation so it's unclear when they die. Thanks!
Thanks for playing ^_^ cheers
Very cute game. Was lots of fun!
Glad you liked it! <3 Thanks for playing ^_^
A really nice clicker game - fun take on a classic genre. The visuals are awesome. Very polished :)
I'm glad you thought so! <3 Thanks for playing ^_^
Fun game, unfortunately tryhard is a bit too hard for me haha
Yeah Tryhard is pretty crazy haha XD I thought I'd make a ridiculous difficulty in case people really wanna min-max hard
Thanks for playing! :)
Loved the art style and the gameplay, simple but efficient and as other said, being able to hold and click was way better haha
Yeah my hands would have died if I had to spam click everytime I tested my game hahahaha
Really glad you liked it, thanks for playing ^_^
I love the sprites so much! The classic Mac OS Look, the cats, the portraits - this is such a great art style! And the fact that you don't have to click like crazy and can just hold your mouse - this is such a huge step forward compared to other clicker games I've tried (though I didn't play much of them, so I don't actually know how novel of a concept this is).
Really really glad you liked it ^_^ Thanks for playing!
Yeah the hold click is definitely something I personally wanted while testing haha, it would've gotten sooo exhausting otherwise XD
Wow this game is insanely addictive. The 1 bit graphics and design are so cleanly and masterfully done and I've been playing it longer than any other game in this jam while just laying in bed. Truly one of the best games that I have come across during this jam. Great job guys
Aw that means so much to us! Really really glad you liked it <3
It will likely get updates now and then after the jam ^_^ stay tuned!
Clicker game + Tower Defense is genius idea! Great job!
very very fun
