VERY addicting!
One of the most polished games of this round, really well done! Wish I could have shown off the proper late game with nuclear power on stream, but still really enjoyed playing it nonetheless.
Incredible game! It is so well polished and pacing works superb. Well done creating this, it is super awesome!
Spark-E stole my wallet
This game is really fun! It has an addictive aspect where you want to keep going to see your island grow into a full on industry. The graphics look nice for what they are, and the polish really makes it feel quality. The audio was simple, but provided feedback for all of the actions. I really enjoyed the research tree, it made a great progression system that created satisfaction. I also enjoyed the little robot Spark-E and its upgrade path. It really adds another depth into it, putting in a reward for all the manual work, a crucial part of any clicker/tycoon game's progression.
There's some minor flaws though, most notably the lack of saving and the lack of a true purpose. I feel like your island having something to earn from the things you end up producing would add another aspect to the progression. Perhaps having your island compete with other industries and trying to earn enough to get the top spot.
Apart from those frankly small issues, this game truly has potential for being a pretty addictive simulation/tycoon game. I could totally see myself buying an expanded version of this on a retail platform, something very impressive for a jam game. All in all, you did a fantastic job utilizing the month!
thank you very much for this nice and in depth feedback! Im glad that you had fun playing it and I’m already working hard on improving it
I was playing and my wife walked in and was like, "oooooo, what's this?" It ticks all her boxes. Really well done. Really great game.
thank you very much!
I played for 4 hours straight and got every upgrade possible... I'd be surprised if this isn't in at least the top 3.
Thank you for the kind words!
It took a while to load on my Mac but when it did, what a game! Graphics were awesome, gameplay was amazing. This game had a lot of polish. The fun way the resources grouped together after breaking them apart. Rewarding the player by breaking things down using the Research XP. Really felt like a real game and not a game jam. Well done!!!
that’s very nice of you, thanks!
Damn, all I can say is WOW. This one should win this game jam, 100%. lol
thank you! I really appreciate the feedback
dont let me play
can you elaborate?
with?
like - can you explain what exactly you mean? :)
the version that is to play in the network dont work for me, its mantain in black screen.
thanks for letting me know! I’ll see if i can fix that or alternatively upload a downloadable version
oki, that is for me, im using a mac fully updated.
One of my favorite games from the jam I've played so far. I was really sucked into this one and wanted to do every possible thing on offer up until I realized that one of Spark-E's upgrades required 10 uranium (too rare). Still, I could easily see myself coming back to this one.
Great game! In all aspects. And the little robot helper - sooo cute and handsome! You can even put some depots together - and he is collecting and storing them. This is so nice!
The only request I have: a save option. I really would like to load my current state, as I am running out of time now, but would love to come back later.
Here is what I got - this was relaxing and fun to build!
thank you! Yes a save option is a great idea. It’s one of many things i couldnt find the time to implement
A fun game with cool graphics.☺
Game not loading
That's unfortunate :c can you tell me which browser you're using?
Firefox
This game was very addicting! The music was satisfying, the details in the tech tree were clear, and the guide made this easy to understand and fun to play.
Good game. I liked the simple pixel art style, it's charming. The mechanics are also well implemented. I wish there was a way to disconnect the machines from the generators though.
Also, I love how cute and derby Spark-E looks.
Very easy to understand but complex enough for you to always find something new to do. Excellent game!
Nice relaxing clicker game with a clean aesthetic. Was impressed by the amount of upgrades!
Fun resource gathering game. I was surprised with the amount of tech tree options! Spark-E is adorable.
Thank you!
Oops! Good job. I need to familiarize myself with the gameplay better.
