Fun game. I've always enjoyed clicker games. My very first game I made was an incremental game, I really liked that you had unlockable upgrades that appeared after collecting 50 of a certain tool.


Great job and congrats of your submission!

A very adorable game! It just makes you joy!

just 2 small things: clicking  feels pointles way to fast and the art detail is irregular.

its still a fun lidle game wich made my day!

A fantastic idle game!

It has everything you'd ask for in such a game, a banger music (please release the soundtrack), balanced progression, lots of upgrades, and a nice relaxing story with it.

There were only 2 things that bugged me about it:

First: the lack of interaction, aside from the beginning, clicking is just not efficient, this could easily be fixed with an upgrade that boosts clicking power, it would spice up the gameplay and give me something to do while waiting for happiness to collect.

Second: I wished I could see the creatures I get on the screen, it's not the biggest thing in the world I know, and I understand that it would add a lot of work to it, it's something I really want to see considering how many of them I got ('o_o)

All in all, this is an excellent entry, and can easily turn into a mobile game, it's worth playing not just as a jam game, but as an actual fully fleshed out game. Dev team did great on this entry :D

Thanks for playing!

Both of the things you mention were things we wanted to do but didn't have time to add. Always the way with jam games, especially since the whole team lost 3 days to a power/internet outage in our city.

I have good news for you about the music! It's available on YouTube. A friend likes to make video game music in his spare time and comes up with some really good tunes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwiAJiKkDRyvkzpQ_ddEF4Q

Great job! Fun and relaxing idle game.

Nice and peaceful game. Wish there were some kind of animations and sfx to improve the game quality. As for the end game, it was getting harder to find the motivation to finish the game as it felt like I've seen everything (lack of rewards/something new to see) and the grinding got tougher.  But all in all, the game's great and well done!!

The game is nice and peaceful. The music sets the tone nicely. The art is amazing, I just wish you some animation to some of the art would be the way to take to the next level. It was calming. Great Game Jam entry.

Heck yeah, jams need more idles/incrementals. Well done.

Nice and simple. Thank you for keeping it pretty short because long jam games mean most folks won't finish them. The autoclicker is a great addition for jam games. And also thank you for starting with a puppy pile. Fun, wholesome, simple. Great jam entry. And I appreciate the source code!

Thanks for making this :)

Hey I know you! You did "Can Hippos Achieve Outer Space" during the Brackeys jam. :)

I got my wings! I got super addicted and needed to hit that 10B

Nice change of pace from action games. Very relaxing and sweat concept! Had fun!

Really liked the art. I don't usually play clicker games but I saw this through to the end. Puppy piles convinced me to stay.

Nice idle game, really captured the essence of the genre. Some of the numbers could do with some work, felt like skipping the bountiful feast and just saving up for the joyful noises was a much better investment.

Something to keep the earlier sections a bit more relevant as well would be nice - cookie clicker has the clicks give a % of earnings each click as an example, but given it was 10 days of development its very good.

Developer

Thanks for playing! We had to compress the numbers a couple times to try and hit our target of 10-15 mins playtime, it definitely resulted in a less linear progression. I would've loved to include more (different) types of upgrades for sure, just ran out of time and decided to polish what we had. :)

Very refreshing game, nice and easy, which feels great to relax. Well done !

Hi there! I like the style of the graphics, very cohesive and cute.

I think you could make it feel a bit more responsive if you add some sound effects when you click on a build option, and perhaps some kind of colored "aura" effect around the building when you buy an upgrade (the color depending on the level of the upgrade).

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I definitely agree. We had plans for more art changes as you bought upgrades or a certain number of each building but ran into time constraints. UI SFX would've been good to provide feedback as well.

Nice work guys!!! You had me at Puppy Piles! Made it through and earned my wings. The music was particularly atmospheric. Really well done. :-)

Very much pulled me in, great job with the music and sound!

I was not a "clicker" lover but it changed after I play this game! It is so relaxing and satisfying love it!

Yeah this isn't gonna be lingering in my browser for a few days. :P It's great, I have all the happiness and heavenly tales.

Edit: just got my wings after commenting. Thanks for not being a tab for a few days :P
