Seems fun for an idle lover! Although couldn't really relate to the theme of the jam, but the game is fun :)
Really cool game idea! Would love to see a full version
Really cool game idea and execution! Would love to see a full version
It was simple but dude those guys need to chill, if they dont have their servers they get mad so fast..
Quite annoying to have to drag and drop the server to the rack 4 times in a row each time I think I'd prefer to have a system similar to the one when you purchase a square of space. Fortunately there is a "feature" that sometmes make a server sprite stuck between two tiles so it's easier to drag and drop it from there to adjacent tiles. I think I went tryhard mode a bit too much at some point there were no client anymore because the previous one were all happy (but it didn't last long). I still think I beat the game because there was no other square to buy and an no upgrades left
I didn’t have time to add a victory condition, so buying everything is basically a win. And yeah, a lot about the server racks definitely needs some work! Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
Made it to Level 50, simple but fun game, great job!
I would consider adding an indicator to the racks that shows how many servers are currently filled, as when you have lots, it may not be obvious which ones you filled and which are empty, even moreso when you upgrade them to higher capacity and already had previous ones.
Also, the option to sell servers which havent reached their lifespan to upgrade them to better one could also be nice.
Overall, it's a really cool concept, I like idle games, and there aren't many of them focused around networking/infrastructure, with a bit more polish it could turn into a really nice idle game. Great job!
It's satisfying to watch the numbers go up, I just think the benefit from having more of goal or use for the money. The style is cute though!
very fun and cute game
Number go up. Who doesn't enjoy that! Very chill. Could really benefit from the addition of a 'ka-ching!' sfx whenever you earn money or upgrade to get that Pavlovian response going.
Very satisfying number-go-up type game. Great response to the theme. I had a great time. Nice work!
fun and relaxing game
fun yet simple take on the clicker/tycoon gerne
Relaxing game. Scaling the server infrastructure. At one point there were a lot of customers and I didn't look at it. Maybe something like contracts and server stability, or outages are fun things to add.
Thanks for the feedback! I did have the thought to add some of those features if I had more time. It definitely gets way too easy after a little while.
very chill and relaxing, specially after playing so many jam games this was a nice change of pace /ᐠ - ˕ -マ
Cool game. I feal like server racks could have some visual cue for how many and maybe what kind of servers are in it it would also be cool if there would be a interactive tutorial of what you have to do or even have a single server placed so the player knows what they have to do. A icon above server for when and how many people they are processing which could help with seeing how much your servers are struggling.
this was really fun, an addictive loop to make money faster than i could spend it!
One thing that would be nice is a visual cue telling you how full the server racks are
Super cool little game, feels like vampire survivors but for a.. tech strategist??
Enjoyed a lot, I feel like the difficulty could scale a bit harder, after a while I just had 8 server racks with the best pcs in, I think I could have left my pc for hours and not failed.
Really loved the idea! Quite a catchy game)
"Built to scale" from an IT admin perspective! I love it! I think this was a great basic almost idle-clicker style game! I loved seeing the customers reactions as they waited longer in the top. I do wish there was some visuals for the servers as they crunch numbers, but was still a well thought out game. Nice job!
