Really fun! I finally built my unstoppable horde! Really simple but great!

Was a fun little game, but as others pointed out it was a bit unclear that the food was your money. Otherwise, it was nice seeing my spixals survive once I got the bigger ones :D

Submitted

Interesting game concept, I wasn't sure how to get the controls to work right away

Developer

yeah, it pretty much just plays itself and you just buy upgrades

Submitted

This was super nice. Was a bit unclear what the different rates did, but otherwise it was very pleasant. Well done!

Developer

thanks

Submitted

Quite and original idea and well excuted. The upgrades could be a bit stronger though and there could be a bit more of them. The progression is very slow right now.

Developer

thanks. I did have a few other upgrades in mind but didn't have time to put them in the game. and there is a button panel towards the bottom to change the speed of the game.

Good job on finishing the jam,the idle experience is quite good and you feel invincible once you got the big spixal ! For early game it could help a bit if the spixal had a bigger acquisition range as i didn't get my food because it couldn't find it !

Developer(+1)

glad you liked it, I'll keep that in mind for my next game (or if I ever decide to take this one further)

The game was a pleasing experience. I think it would benefit from having a description to clarify everything, though most of the stuff was straightforward.

Developer

thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I would have gave a better description if I had more time.

Submitted

It's like you're feeding microbes and watch them grow :) took me some time to understand, that the food represents my money. But it's actually pretty enjoyable!

Developer

yes, I can see how that could be confusing, I had intended to give more instructions with a "how to play" page, but I ran out of time. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
