Hi everyone. My name is Tricky and I'm quite new to Unity and programming. I'm trying to learn as I go, and I decided to work on an idle game as my first hobby game.

It's still in very very bare bones early development build as I work on it during my free time after I come home from work, but I am super excited to see what I can do next!

There are currently 4 types of upgrades and 7 types of enemies to kill, as I said very basic start, but if you like this -- please keep an eye out as I'll be updating it constantly.

Thanks for playing!

I think the game has great artwork. Sirisouly one of the most visiually compelling games here.

I felt the game to be very one dimensional. I would appriciate some more work in the game in context of decision making and/or game mechanics.

Hi!

Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment! I totally agree, there's not much to do in the game yet, it is really bare bones of a prototype so far. I'll be adding more enemies, more upgrades and hopefully a prestige system soon. 

Again, thanks for playing! I'll keep working on it so check it out from time to time to see what's new! :)

The game is ok'ish. From the look & feel I can tell  the game resembles the classical dps(damage per second) clicker genre. But It feels bare-bones and unbalanced. Some suggestions:

Try making the reward for each take down a percentage of their life. That way the player can keep up with the increasing costs of the upgrades and the increase in life of the enemies.

Make the player able to revisit earlier levels (and add an advance on completion checkbox). That way you add a strategic choice: Do I go for the better rewards with active clicking, or do I stay on earlier levels to achieve the max rps (resource per second), using pasive dps?

Increase the amount of enemies on higher levels. A standard is to increase in 5 or 10 every 5 or 10 levels (usually sync to the bosses).

Add a time out to the boss. The classical is 30 seconds or 1 minute. The reason  behind them is to gatekeep progression. They are usually at the end of a level, not on a level of their own. From there, you can make the boss appear every time or just until defeated. As for reaching the timeout, you can send the player back to the beginning of the level, or force a soft reset (adding a level of prestige).

These are more or less what you will find on any similar game of the dps clicker genre. But remember it's your game. Have fun on your journey!

Hi there!

First of all, I am really thankful for playing the game and for this well written constructive criticism!

Currently the game is in really really early stage of development, as you can see, haha! I am learning how to program and this is my first project, still trying to figure out how to make things work, but it's fun!

I am going to add all the things you mentioned in near future, most importantly add a game save function, and offline progress too.

Once again, thanks for playing and leaving a comment! I appreciate it. :)
