Two issues I couldn't figure out:

• The game freezes for a few seconds when first going ingame from the main menu
• The audio sounds really crunchy and awful for the first few seconds after first starting the game (anywhere from 10-30 seconds)

No, I don't, to be honest.

I really like how it turned out, but this game was designed entirely for this jam in terms of theme and scope.

If you're interested in a larger game with a (loosely) similar concept, you can try Idle Loops, which is the game that I was playing when the theme of the jam was announced.

Thanks for playing!

That's not quite how it works. When you attack something you get hit simultaneously, but the shield skill can proc and completely prevent taking damage.

Pretty fun. I gave up after about 10 minutes because I had started getting exhausted from the clicking.

Audio on the web version tends to stutter when the frame rate drops. In my experience, the executable version doesn't do that (and performs better in general) so give that a try if the audio bothers you.

I left in a little debug feature: press backslash to see some invisible entities and a representation of what's going on with pathfinding

Thank you for playing!

I've added a night counter to the end screen.

The xp bug was a bit more subtle than that. I was already cleaning up the xp on state transitions, so restarting always removed all existing orbs. However, if you killed some things and died in the same frame, the event telling it to spawn a batch of orbs stuck around until the next time you're in the game. To fix this, I added a 2 second "death sequence" after dying which should make this bug much harder to run into.

To mitigate the big guys getting stuck, I've made it so the small guys can walk through the big guys. This way, when they get stuck, they can act like walls blocking off parts of the map while still letting the small guys in.

I didn't make the music, I found some public domain music with the right vibe:

• Alpha Hydrae - La Pêche
• Alpha Hydrae - To be like a chased rabbit
• Monplaisir - This is not a joke
• Zoliborz - To Balagopalan Ganapathy
• Cathedral Of Chemical Equilibrium - One

You can hold down the left mouse button to fire as often as you can.

Yes, I spent the last few hours before submitting trying to fix a bunch of issues with the wasm build, and I ended up having to disable bloom and the background shader because webgl is so limited. All the effects are intact in the downloadable version. 

Thanks for playing!

If you enjoyed the game, please try the downloadable version (windows only for now).

Unfortunately bevy in the browser uses webgl for the time being, which is very limited and in particular makes some of the graphical techniques I used impossible. The downloadable version has all these effects intact, and (in my opinion) looks far better.

Thank you for trying my game!

Some numbers in costs aren't displayed in scientific notation correctly.

See:
The mantissa (the part before the 'e') has to be greater than or equal to 1 and strictly less than 10.
