LoopingAges - LD47 by MorpheusZero
Looping Ages is an idle/incremental clicker game built in the web that follows the path of a time traveler that is stuck traveling through various ages of history searching for Paradox Tokens that will help them fix The Time Continuum and get out of this loop!
This is my first ever game I've ever made. I'm fond of clicker type games and since I have no experience yet with actual game engines, I opted for building something simple in the web using technologies that I am familiar with. I hope you enjoy!!

- had a functional story
One note is that in your CSS code you should put in user-select:none; on anything that you plan on having the user click on so that it doesn't keep trying to select other portions of the page.
As a fan of clicker games I thought it was interesting that your two resources purchased each other. That part actually really fits the theme of being in a loop.
@phlip45 Thanks for checking it out and the CSS tips :)
I've played just about every idle game out there myself, so I already had an autoclicker on hand to play through your game which helped a ton. It's a great start and I thought the theme fit very well.
If you did have more time, where would you take this? There's always so many routes a clicker can go, whether it's more resources, or more upgrades, or a new mode altogether.

I feel like there's a bit too much clicking, it'd be worth toning down the need for it faster. I also think some age-specific resources/upgrades would have been really interesting, the lonely thoughts are nice but don't meaningfully contribute to the gameplay. Nice job!
