Cute little game! I included it in my Wowie Jam 2.0 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Developer

Thanks, thats nice

Submitted

Very fun little game. Got too easy but not big problem. Also nice graphics and nice sound. Great game overall

Developer

Thx for the feedback :D

Submitted

I loved it. My only problem was not having a button to buy bugs in bulk. other than that little tidbit, really great game.

Submitted

This game makes me feel rich.

Submitted

Great game, but I think you should ad buttons if I want to buy like 1000 bugs at once so I don't have to click that much, here's my result: 

Developer

Thanks for playing. I'll try to add more bugs

Submitted

Neat little game, I had fun with an auto-clicker after I played it for a bit :D


Definitely needs some balancing, I got to a point where I was earning gold faster than my auto-clicker could spend it, so increasing the cost of pickaxes and swords would probably help with that.  

Developer

Yea, ill add some 100x buttons and stuff. Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

Really fun idle game! Eventually around round 10+ I got money faster than I could spend it! I just spammed the workers and defenders but I just couldn't run out of money. So yeah, fun but probably needs some balancing.

Developer

Ill try to work on balance, thanks.

Submitted

Someone will have to take care of those poor and (not so) innocent bugs!! Cool game!!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

really fun and addictive... my finger is tired but you made a great job there sir...

If you have any time rate my game as well...

Developer

Thanks sir, I will rate your game as well. Dont worry :D

Submitted

Interesting concept,well done :)

Developer

Thx, thx.

Submitted

I don't really enjoy clicker game tho, so I use my autoclicker sorry :)

Nice job btw. I agree with RetroBarbare and Harfsen, turning this game into a strategy game is a good idea.

Developer

Thx, im thinking about deleting the defenders part and making it a tower defense

Submitted

It has great potential to be updated into a real strategy game. For now it is just a bit too simple but i liked it. I think reflects the theme of the jam really well

Developer

We tried :D I will try to continue on this project. Thanks for the feedback.

Developer

Thanks everybody for suggestions

Submitted

I know it is a game jam game and we all had a limited amount of time but adding more bugs when you upgrade would have been a little but impactful addition. That aside it is fun for what it is. :D

Developer

Yea, ill try to do that. Thanks.

Submitted

A very nice game , it's pretty simple , but i think i you would reduce the clicker aspect and add more gestion to the game this could be a very nice game , maybe with some new units great potential for a strategy game

Developer

Ok, we thought about making the defenders part into a tower defense. Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

Nice simple game.

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

It's not ma type ofgame,but it's still pretty nice

Developer

Thanks, im glad i didnt make the art myself, ot would be catastrophic.
