Start with a Click by Maksim Chugunov
Introduction
This is a minimalistic clicker game. I wanted to make it very intuitive, so there is not much of a tutorial, I hope you can figure everything out by yourself.
Only one thing is not obvious and is not explained properly:
you can drag and drop squares from bottom block
There is an end to the game, it takes about 10-15 min and requires some thinking :)
Do not read further if you'd like to figure everything yourself!

How the game works and what you can do:
(spoilers, read only if you've played and didn't figure everything out yourself) * You have 4 blocks, each is clickable * You can create dots by clicking on right block * You can collect any dots flying on middle block by clicking the block (only 5 at a time will be collected) * Collected dots accumulate in the bottom block and group by 4, creating a bigger dots * Dots from bottom block can be dragged to any other block * If a dot is put into right block, it will click it automatically, bigger dot results in more frequent clicks * If a dot is put into middle block, it creates a circle, any flying dot that comes in contact with it will be collected. Circle needs a time to recharge after dot hit * If a dot is put into left block, it will be destroyed and bar inside the block will fill * Any dot that has flied through middle block and wasn't collected will also fill the left block bar * Bar on the left block fills and decays quickly

However, the minimalistic style works great for me and the sound effects are at their right place too :)
Good job !
I m not done playing, i wanna see what happens when the left bar is filled
Well done!
Nice style. It`s like a factory-develop game in a minimalistic way.
I think if the cursor changes when on the Dots, it will help me understand that the dot is clickable/dragable (or is it difficult to make that on HTML5? sry I don`t know a lot about HTML5 platform)
Not sure if it can be done on webgl, but if not, a hint on a cursor would do the job I think
