Welcome to Click Click Clutch! Our submission for Ludum Dare is a ~~low quality shitpost~~ racing game combined with an idle clicker. You * click on your vehicle to go faster *.

You can also buy upgrades, like a Turbo that simulates clicks on its own , so you dont have to click. You can also upgrade your motor to increase maximum speed and get new vehicles.

Other upgrades include a new gearbox to increase your speed gained per click and new tires that change how fast you lose your speed.

Additionally you can race bosses to advance through the ranks of the ~~Blacklist~~ Rankings.

Really nice idea for a game. ;)

I'm not quite sure if I could call this a combination of *incompatible* genres, it's most definitely not the first - or second - clicker/tapper racing game I've played at least.

It'd be nice to have more control over the racer part of it, maybe with turns on the track and actual controls for the vehicle apart from the accelerating through clicks.
A big fan of the challenge list, it's nice to be able to go for a 1:1 race whenever you want, even if it'd be helpful to list what kind of upgrades said challengers would have.

Interesting take; I found it very hard to get anywhere on my laptop without a real mouse, might be easier with an actual mouse. I very much recommend making a web version; you get it very easily with Unity(WebGL) and it is much easier to play then.

These two genres are definitely incompatible. My finger cramped up after the 3rd race. I think you nailed the theme though.

It might be a shitpost, but it still somehow reminds me of playing winter games, so I rate (unwarranted nostalgia)/10. :smile:

Nice game, the idea fits very well with the theme. Ant also I think tha you should recive a litle more money per race.

Really good idea for the theme, I agree with the comment about my finger cramping up, I think the upgrades are too expensive for how much money, so the game is paced slowly and people may lose interest, still though good job actually coming up with an idea for this atrocious theme!

Idles are one of my favorite genres!! The progression is kinda slow, but awesome game! Great work!

Played for a bit. The amount of earnings for winning a game is very little. I had to play 6 times a race (an easy one) to buy one upgrade, and not the one that makes my vehicle get a higher high speed (for that I need to play 20 races!). So I was unable to see the rest of content of your game, which I guess it's pretty much the same with other vehicles or backgrounds. There is no real stratedgy for the player as there is on idle clicker game. Keep working!

The game is OK and fits the theme nicely. But progress is REALLY slow, after first upgrade I quit playing, because it looks like it will take a lot of time to complete even first challenge.

I loved the idea, the theme, and the countdown mechanic kept me playing more than I should have. Great execution. I would have kept clicking on this for a while if I wasn't on a timeline. HTML version + leaderboards would = me playing forever.

Sadly, very slow progression... Didn't feel like playing longer and finish with a sore hand.
This mechanic was very standard with old arcade racing game and mashing buttons (olympics games).

It seemed like the clicking speed was capped. So clicking faster only makes you go faster up to a point. I think that you should have received more money per race but made your opponents much faster. Right now they are easy to beat even without the upgrades, and if they were faster than you to start out you would get a good feeling of steadily improving until you could win.
