Donut Factory by TheNewPhoenix

[raw]
made by TheNewPhoenix for LD31 (JAM)
This is a game I and a friend tried to fit the theme. I wish I could have added more features. I am planning on adding a global market and more kinds of donuts/machines. I hope you like it. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Click on the box.

Good game. You should add some difficulty perhaps, as at the moment it is just a linear upgrade machine.
I would like a daily job where I get 25 cent for every click I do. :)

Thanks for your ideas. I will try to add them in the future.

Neat idea, could definitely use with some work on the layout, making certain parts of the game clearer to the player, like the "CLICK, CLICK, CLICK" box.
Also, for one of these kind of games, the audio is wayyyy to repetitive. These games are meant to get you hooked for hours, and with that music, its hard to stay. :)
But still great work, I muted the music and played for half an hour. Hahaha

I think with some tweaking it could turn into a decent little empire building game. I would work on adding some additional options for money making just add variety and allow you to do something while waiting on the machine. Great job!

Nice game!
I would argue, that you dont need to add any difficulty. Thats absolutely irrelevant in idle games. The idea is, that you click some stuff and let the game run in background, then come back get rewarded for clicking stuff; repeat. In my opinion your game does quite a good job at delivering this (emotional) reward.

A thing to criticise is the audio. While it sets a relaxed mood, its get a bit annoying because of the repetitiveness. While the OS settings do the job, a mute/volume adjust button/slider would be nice here.

I noticed a minor bug: you can buy the plain recipe multiple times, which can even get you in dept.
For an unknown reason I was unable to buy anything after some time on my first try. Maybe its related to the first bug.

The donuts look really delicious :) Nice graphics work there. Its quite satisfying to watch them roll out of the machine :D

All in all nice entry! Keep up the good work :)

Nice start! I felt that there was a bit too much time when I wasn't able to do anything other than watch donuts fall, but the game otherwise delivered.

Many donuts made.

(Note: there was a small bug: you can buy the plain recipe unlimited times and go into debt)

this was a somewhat fun game, it just seems incomplete. It's really long, and it doesn't seem to be much of a point to the game, and the music was really repetitive. This has the potential to be a really good game, it just seems unfinished

The art/animation donuts falling and conveyor belt velocity/accel feel great.

Maybe make some interesting/meaningful choices available? I guess right now it's just when to upgrade to the next level machines.

Love the consept, I can see myself sitting here making donuts for hours with a bit more tweeking of the mechanics. These games are just way to adictive

Good game Sound track was a bit too loud and it'd be nice if you could change the music or mute it because it gets annoying very fast across a very long game

For everyone that played/plays my game I just want you to know we spent the last five hours working on music and school kinda got in the way.

Decent concept. Donuts are always good. Wish the menus and text were more visible. Some of the options were covered by other buttons. The music is good.

Cute game! I like the different kinds of donuts and it's a very relaxing and simple game. Music did get a bit repetitive but it fit the factory-type setting nicely. Very cool!
