this game made me LAUGH, it's so fun! and very clever.  as always, your games have the cutest characters (and somehow their dialogue is also very charming). and the whole monitor shaking thing at the end had me in pieces. what a great concept.

Submitted

Second-order dopamine manipulation. Hilarious and super relevant concept. I got hooked, and then accidentally clicked back in the middle of a playthrough. I instantly went into dopamine withdrawal. Awesome submission - congrats!

Submitted

Really addictive game and super polished overall. Loved it :)

Submitted

The only thing that would have made this better is (letting me purchase) dark mode.

Submitted

Such a great job with concept and execution. It was really fun adding on all the little upgrades, and I loved the shift in music and visuals when you were close to finishing the level.

Submitted

A fun take on the theme! To me, endlessly scrolling through the feed is probably the opposite of dopamine but I get what you were doing here, it makes a lot of sense! great job!

Submitted

Great take on the theme. Very well done. 

Submitted

Extremely well executed

Developer

Thanks a bunch!!

Submitted

this game was so much fun, ironically enough earning large amount of dopamine at once was very dopamine inducing itself

Developer(+1)

Ha! That is ironic. But in a good way!

Submitted

This was genuinely so much fun to play, it really gave me a dopamine rush (maybe I should go outside now?). The message it had at the end really was great and the actual gameplay itself was a lot of fun. Easily one of the best hidden gems this gem, you deserve a lot more love for this! This was so well executed and felt great :) amazing job

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! Yours is one of my favorites too.

Submitted

You're welcome and thank you so much :)

Submitted

People would pay for a extended version!

Developer

Now that’s high praise, thank you!

Submitted

Really really fun game; with such a good message, amazing job congrats :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! Your game is awesome too.

Submitted

Such a wonderful subversion of an incremental game. It ends very abruptly, and as painful as that was from a player's perspective, narratively it was perfect. Yet another ace_of_4s banger

Developer

Thanks so much! Same back to you!

Submitted

Great concept with a greater deliveery. Hit me hard when the screen start shaking and the music went wild. What the player needs to do scales very well by adding all that stuff and raising the dopamine bar. Well done!

Developer

Really appreciate you trying it out! 

Submitted

Loved it , Loved how the chaos was increasing and all subjects aborded

Developer

Thanks for giving it a play!

Submitted

Oh this is excellent. The way it gets crazier and crazier until you have zoomer brain is great. Wish the stock market was this easy irl.

Developer

Me too! Thanks for enjoying!

Submitted

This is very clever and fun, good job on the theme. I bit easy perhaps, but it is accurate haha

Developer

Thanks! Maybe you're just that good.

Damn, too real :D The stacking of all the little dopamine tasks was very satisfying. I must admit I was a bit sad that it ended so soon :D

I like all-you-can-click games. My mouse has hyper-fast scrolling  for the mouse wheel and I made good use of it on NokNok :D
I give it one spin and it scrolls longer than a fidget spinner. 

Very cool surprise in my opinion. My favourite game in the jam so far.

You made a really cool game :D

Developer

Thanks for playing! I gotta get myself a mouse like that.

Oh good I loved it. I played it to till the end. It was so addictive, whhhy did it have to stop??

Developer

I appreciate it! I really wanted to add an "endless mode" but there just wasn't time!

Submitted

I enjoyed this very much. It's nice that we had the same consuming theme in mind (i took a more unhinged approach). The UI and the graphics are clean, the sound effects and the flashy buttons and everything gives you that dopamine effect. 

Developer

Really glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
