I like the way you expanded on typical idle mechanics, especially the part where you lead all your friends to build the world!

EXISTING WILL PREVAIL

Really fun Clicker Game. The "World" was a bit unintuitive for me at first, but once I understood it, it turned out to be a great addition and break from the typical Clicker/IDle convention!

There were at least 2 moments where I thought "oh I get it, I understand what this game was about" only to be proven wrong a few minutes later. Nicely done!

Longest i've played an LD game. Timing of each upgrade was actually pretty good. I found myself spam clicking to try to get the next upgrade, not noticing I've been doing that for for the past 10 minutes. Not terribly innovative but at least you followed the theme by incorporating it into a cookie clicker style game. Audio was nice as well. Well done!

The sound is good, the theme is there and a clicker it still works well but the buttons are too big... But overall it works well done

Oh man I did not expect nihilism! The agent behaviour is pretty neat! Amazing you got four phases in such a short amount of time. Great music too!

I liked this a lot, and even if you didn't compose some of the music, I like the use of dynamic stems.

also, by the end, I had 600+ friends per minute, and the game didn't slow down or anything, so that was cool.

It is a great game! I had a lot of fun playing it. I've managed to set all prices to 0, but it didn't really affect the game.(I don't know if that's a feature or a bug) Very good game anyway!

Really cool design, and one of the best clicker games I've played. Great work :)

interesting clicker.
good use of phases to mostly prevent the need to go backwords to do minor tasks..

Loved this game! Clicker games are one of my favorites but it's hard to find unique entries into the genre. This one definitely felt like something I hadn't seen before. Solid game, would have loved to have more, but I understand given there wasn't a whole lot of time. Great job!!!

Nicely done, I like the audio and the friend building phase. Good idle game.

Yaaay modern physics clicker! I could spend hours here just watching the world rebuild! Awesome work.

Amazing clicker game with cool graphics and sound effects. I only got stuck at the beginning for a while, as I didn't know that more options would unlock, the more things I got. But for the rest, I enjoyed this game

Amazing game ! You got so much done in such a short amount of time !
I liked the fact that there are so many different ways you can play, even at the first stage.

This is an amazing start to a incremental game. Would love to see you expand on the idea.

10/10 would play again. I would love to see this expanded into a post compo version! Truly a well done game!

I liked the style of the game, at first I did not understand the principle of the game.

Feels quite fresh for the idle format, and with a nice mood as well! The audio certainly is great, too!

Loved it! it's simple, yet it has depth, and a story! and the soundtrack was awesome, love the ending track, Great job, truly!

I saw just one small draw error on one of the letters, but sorry i cant remember which one i got lost in rebuilding the world haha

Good idle game with a story! I REALLY like the transition from void to body. I'm still playing!

That was certainly an interesting experience... Took me a while to figure out what was going on and what to do, but (un)luckily I found the doomsday clock early and started things off for the end game. It was kinda cool to build the whole 'world' up with my friends, too! I don't quite get what happened in the end since I apparently died; seems it's some struggle between a creator and destroyer? All in all, cool game, would sacrifice friends for more friends again!

The name and game were both cool, it's very hard to come up with a name in my opinion

This is just great! The best clicker in my life. It would be very interesting to see the continuation)

A bit abstract at first, but it pulled me in over time, and before I knew it 15 minutes had gone by. Well done. Great use of the theme.

This was an awesome game, I really enjoyed the storyline! It was easy to miss what was happening in the story by being in the wrong screen though, it would be nice if there was some kind of prompt to switch over.

DOOM IS NEAR

This is one of my new favorite clicker games. Each new stage was really surprising. Thanks for tuning it to be playable in just a few minutes!

What a phenomenal interpretation of the theme. I love clickers so I had a blast playing this. It felt like just the right length and had just the right amount of story, great work!

Meta to another level, this is a fantastic game and just continually exceeded my expectations. Would have liked a way to zoom in from "outside"...couldn't see the whole base

it was quite interesting then i got stuck on this part ... am i supposed to just wait?
either way i found the idea to be quite promissing


@velvetlobster yes, I have an issue with the prompts, maybe I'll do a quickfix version that makes the next menu appear at 100 things instead of at 150. (It lets you buy a friend at 1000 things)

This is really cool.

I particularly like the way the scale, complexity and depth advances as the game progresses, not just in terms of gameplay, but the visuals and music, too.

It's impressive how almost every facet of the game works in harmony to support the story the game is trying to tell.

There's not much to criticize here. If I were to make one complaint, it's that it wasn't clear how anti-things and anti-converters worked. But this minor issue didn't really impact my ability to enjoy the game.

Great job.

Loved it! And it even worked on my iPhone!

Top job. Well planned out and well executed.

Great job! I love the use of anti-things to prevent just spamming clicking (somewhat aha) - love it!

@cybikitty how far did you get? :)

Interesting game. The rules were a little bit confusing, I've played through the game and still didn't get how the things\anti-things mechanics work in The Void section. Also, the void section lacks the BGM, that the other ones have :slight_smile: But besides that, it was a fun experience - rebuilding your world from the scratch, "buying" new "friends" for things :smile:

@annie-owl thanks a lot for playing this on stream :)

You cannot trick me I know a Hideo Kojima game when I see one, Hello Kojima :)

[EDIT] Wonderful game, such a smart use of zoom, even though "the world" may have benefited from a slight zoom out up.
I loved it through and through, and spent hours (ok, maybe just the one) trying to break it.
10 000 friends might seem like lot, but it all makes sense once the sacrifice starts :smirk:

@andrea thanks a lot for playing my game :) yours was very enjoyable as well!

[edit] woops, doublepost

This was so much fun! The graphics are simple, yet consistent and good. The buildup over several stages feels amazing. To be able to ditch the void and solely focus on the world is great and the addition of something even greater is really cool. Cool to think Gamemaker could handel that many instances at once as well. Well done to you!

P.S. Great soundtrack! Actually left the browser window open for a bit to enjoy the epic ending music.

@hare-software thanks for playing :)
BTW if you liked the soundtrack, you can listen to more of my musical work here:

This game requires a lot of patience :) Not the biggest fan of idle game and I still don't understand how to turn anti-thing in things (is that random ?) which was kinda frustrating but I manage to finish the game. I liked the audio and I always like minimalist graphics (got a bug by switching to full screen, background became gray). I Also liked how friends were managed and how it give us the feeling of not being alone anymore.

hey @namnam thanks for playing :) about the anti-things, they disappear when you mouse-hover them, which means the things can escape the screen to stay permanent

Keeps getting better, bigger, faster, stronger, beyond anything I could have expected. This is a solid 10 and I won't say much else!

@adrien-dittrick haha ok this information would have made the game so much easier! (and more interesting)

It was really fun to play! the thing and anti-thing idea is really interesting, and it reminds me of some farming system in some game. Good work dude!

A very interesting take to an idle game. You made a lot of content and that is impressive. Some times it got unintuitive and a bit complicated but it was very solid especially for a compo entry. Good job

Affording friends takes a lot of work

@kuviman friends are expensive!

Solid entry! Like a lot of the other comments above, I was a little confused at first, but when I figured it out, I ended up sitting here way longer than I anticipated! Great job!

This game was thoroughly enjoyable, ended up spending a ton of time in the end :) Also enjoyed the black/white gfx (but I'm biased since my game is also retro) Awesome work!

It was an entry so entertaining it made me check out the prequel. I love how well these two work together.

The game's definite strong points are variety and uniqueness of gameplay mechanics and sense of progression. The void and body are kinda generic, but when we enter the world is when real fun begins, watching the world being rebuilt with armies of friends. There's some beautiful chaos to it, yet still there's some pretty simple logic to it. Entering the last phase, while it didn't really add much to the gameplay, felt epic with all these worlds around. The sense of progression is reinforced with progressively rich soundtrack, which makes advancement all the more satisfying.

There are some minor complaints, like the purchase buttons covering the gameplay area; I would rather have them separate instead, I guess. Also, it wasn't clear how anti-things work at first - I only figured it out long after purchasing some anti-thing converters, wondering what these do (though when you know how to use these, anti-things are super-profitable).

Despite being an incremental game, it doesn't take much time, which I appreciate from the perspective of the Jam reviewing. Also, repeatedly halving the prices down to 0, which would break an ordinary incremental game, works here because it happens at the endgame stage, anyway.

Great entry overall, my favourite thus far.

@alphish thanks a lot for your kind review, it means the world to me :)

ok iam speechless, this was an experience that i will never forget thanks for that^^

Wow, I thought I was unfinished whenever I hit a wall, but keep nooldling aroun! Amazing work tying it all together - was not excpecting the depth of gameplay for a compo game!

Congratulations and good luck. This was immense!

This was #75 of all the games I've been testing, and probably the longest I've played!


I rated for music as there was still most of all the music except the ending which nicely ties all the themes together..

It reminded me of this - where it breaks down to different styles / levels of instrumentation.. !

It's somehow fun, but I find it a little bit pointless... It's a metaphor for life, isn't it? ;)

Congrats on 3rd in Theme!

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream! I played it today in the last few hours of voting :)
