LudumCoin by Alexey Akulovich

[raw]
made by Alexey Akulovich for LD 43 (COMPO)

This game is about Ludum-coin mining: you can build your mining farm.

This is a short clicker game with the needs to sell already buying chips.

Buy new chips, sell less effective ones, stay within limits, reach new teraflops! But competitors do not sleep and the exchange rate is reduced all the time.

P.S. Chips can be overclocked, but they often break when overheated.

P.P.S. Power supply is limited by your current chip epoch. Reach new epochs and get new power limits.

Well done! It is superinteresting how you managed a clicker game to get this aggressive gamefeel. Also, bulkbuying breaks the powersupply limit. When do you get a powersupply better than 50MW/h?

The game is pretty good as a clicker, but I think there should be increasing prices dor different things:)

This game is short and unbalanced on ASIC+ levels, sorry. I did not have enough time for this.

But I hope I was able to show my idea :)

@erendelous Yes, the game isn't balanced very well currently.

Your idea is really cool! not related to the theme, but is that really important? but seriously, the game has really good graphics and the idea of limiting your resources is also really cool... adds a bit of strategy for the game XD

@gamers-blood-entertainment It is not obvious, but you need to sacrifice chips for more profit :)

Is this the end? I do not get more coins.

I like clickers and love IT/tech themed games, I had much fun.

I like this: very innovative take on the theme, and very nice sprites for the chips.

@exewin Yes, it is. You cannot get new chip due to power supply limitation. Consider it as Easter eggs :)
Thank you for playing!

That was quite a fun game, and the graphics are just awesome!
It can be so frustrating though, I feel like maybe this is a take on how ridiculous the digital currency world has become :p
What becomes of the discarded chips anyway? Landfill? Ozone layer?
Let's just not think about it xD

I love the concept! I saw a game like this in Ludum Dare 42. Gameplay was pretty fun and kept me entertained. The only two things I would consider adding are an instructions page and some sound effects (though that may be annoying if you added too many). Awesome game!
