Nice game with simple and clear controls
Great game! Feels like a groundwork for a niche between idle and arcade games.
Voted! Good job =)
love it. played through to the end. DAMN YOU STEVE!
"You realize you should have gotten paid in advance"
This is a great entry, one of the best so far. I absolutely loved the art and gameplay, It was pretty much balanced, and overall very solid game.
As you can see, I played till the end, and I have only one thing to point out as critique. I think there is no need for fuel mechanic, since it does not really affect gameplay even in the very beginning.
Cheers!
Try loading the game again and run out of fuel. There is another funny dialog hidden behind losing.
Wow! Excellent clicker game! Well balanced upgrade system. Constantly engaging. I played it all the way to the end.
Thanks!
Nice game, I love the colour palette and instant reward system - very gratifying!! Props to your team for making everything yourselves too, that takes effort!!!
A very nice game, everything in this game is just good
such clever ways to upgrade! this game was so fun and addicting i couldn't stop playing, until 90m $ popped up from somewhere and i bought my retirement plan
kinda expected it to go for longer but it makes sense that it was everything considering there was only a week to make the game :)
edit: i love the sunset background!
Oy! I ended up getting my retirement plan (lucky me!) and I will say this was some great design. An endgame condition for the game is smart as I was just reaching the point where I was kitted out with everything. Great fun with simple but engaging gameplay with enough shop choices to keep you switching things up. I did feel the fishing rods was too strong as a source of free constant income in the early game. I just put all my money to it and it funds itself so fast it just spirals out of control a bit. Other than that maybe just a little more variation in sound effects would have been (though the ones there were, were good!) and good chill music.
whoa I had a lo of fun playing this! nice progression,I love this genre. It took me a while to realize i could look down. felt like I unlocked entirely new game :D
simple chill game with nice art and music. Would love to see this being made on to a mobile game, it is prime material for "take phone out and play for a couple minutes". Good job
Wonderful game, so simple yet so effective. Well done! Got addicted and couldn't stop playing until I secured Steve's retirement. The music and art style fit together perfectly! My only suggestion is to make the shop UI a little more stylized by putting some icons rather than just text. Great job!
This game is addicting and so fun! I played all the way through, earning every upgrade and each one really added something to the gameplay. I enjoyed the pixel art and the music which completed the whole vibe.
Really one of the best. Congratulations. Remember add an option to return to menu and save progress. Good job!
This is really fun game, I enjoy it until finish, it didn't felt that it was too long. The stuff that could be improve is UI, there're too much UI that's text, overwhelming the player. But the overall game is really well-made for game jam. I wish to see the more polished version after jam!
sorry dave :( i shouldn't have sent you to the sharks for my greed. Jokes aside it was fun I really loved it. I think there's not much to feedback, just creating economy is taking a bit long time.
Can you try and rate my game ?
nice game :D.
Simple but addictive!
I want the game to be longer tbh. And also some changes for future, I think this game is a little bit easy to win! The upgrade system also seems to unbalance, like the speed(idk why it has 20 lv), the auto money(it really carries people hard at the early game lmao). Some balance and this game will be really great!!!!
I actually played it for a bit longer than I intended because I got addicted to the grind! Could be a solid mobile game
all my homies love scuba steve. great game nice art and cool gameloop really kept me intrigued and playing
