It’s fun and well made. But I know I have to press portrait to make money, but it took too long. I think I need some explanation for the game!

Fun idle game but the balance seems a bit off. We stay way too long on the helicopter :3

Also, it would have been great to have music/SFX (maybe team up with a person to do this next time ♥)

More visual feedbacks on the constructions and when it's ready to click again could be great too :)

I would suggest to make the AP necessary to attack a country dependent on the size of the country instead of just scaling the AP cost with every country attacked, it would allow for players to invade some countries in the early phase of the game but also leave a challenge for the late game. And also mayby make it so you can attack only the countries you border with, it would make choosing the starting nation actually meaningful. Anyways, I'm not a fan of clicker games but yours actually managed to get me hooked for a while, I hope you will find my feedback usefull. Good job!

Wow i made someone who dont like Clicker/Idle game to enjoy this game! you made me so happy ^_^

Awesome feedback! and i agree with everything you said, will do for sure in future updates for the full release!
The original idea of the countries was to be able to attack only the ones you share borders with and you fight you AP with theirs, meaning you can always attack but you will have less chances in wining and invading if you AP is less than their AP, also the countries AP will progress (just like they are real players) and there progress is depending on their size.
but as you know all these complexity was little bit hard to achieve for the game jam but hopefully it will see the light in the full release.

Insane Army Power in Less than 24hr of the launch!


Less than 24hours of the release, a player reached an insane Army Power (1,608,257,528,038,760,000) breaking all leaderboard readability lol! 

Not sure who did cause the leaderboard sign in is anonymous due to the limited time i got in developing the game but would love if he/she could contact me to ask about his/her experience and if unlocked all countries!

Welcome General Idler!

Start with picking your country and then build your army based on your long knowledge & history in military  to control the whole world!

---------------

This is an Idle Game to build & scale your army to control all countries one by one, this game was developed by Me (Danar) within 96 hours of the GMTK24 Game Jam, I used some assets from:

- POLYGON - Military Pack (by Synty Store) - 2D Flat World Map (by DFY Studio on Unity Assets Store)

---------------

I always loved Idle game , and thought this jam will be a good start to learn the logic and mathematical balance, saying that your feedback is very important to me to improve the game and while you at it, check if the GMTK24 voting still open! Please rate the game here.

Thanks in advance ^_^ Looking forward to read your feedbacks and see you in the full release.
