Save the CORE by JKGames
Your team found a new powersource, that can change the world. But it´s extremely unstable, so you have to test it, and that´s what you will do. But be carrefull, in the instructions they left to you, they said that you should never use it´s max power, so...
DON`T DO IT!
Controls:
You can controll almost everything with your mouse. So the exceptions are:
ESCAPE: Quit the game
D: Debug menu...

I´ll let this coment here, i tried making a web version, but it just didn´t opened, and i can´t find a way to fix it. Sorry for uploading only a downloadable file. i´m using godot and it looks like it´s not an uncommon problem, If someone knows a way to fix this, please tell me, i would be gratefull. Thanks for reading!

Nice game man, an interesting twist on the "idle game" genre.

Great idea for the theme! at first i thought it is too easy but then it got quite engaging. I liked the music, it fits very well. Nice entry

A good implementation of the concept! Graphics and music were very well done, and I appreciated the fact that if you are attentive/effective enough you can unlock a secret debug menu :D Simple but very well crafted!

Nice game! I really liked the audio and visuals -- they really presented the game and made me interested in it. Especially considering a lot of people put them off, I think you did a great job adding in animations, music, and sound effects. In terms of gameplay, I was a little confused with my goal. I started accumulating the energy and bought some upgrades, but the ??? upgrade didn't unlock even after around 10 purchases of everything. I suspect you didn't get around to it, which is what happens in game jams. Great job overall, you got a lot done for such a short period of time!

Great graphics and fine idle mechanic. But I would like more items in a shop.

An interesting game, like a spinoff of the clicker game genre. personally not too big a fan, but i can appreciate the thought behind the game.

I like the hood up / hood down approach to the clicker/idleness but I would have liked more distractions as I was waiting for my options to open in general. I got to the debug menu but It gets very pricey at that point in terms of power. I see that max power option down there. Just how much power do they need?

@xcvzxc thanks, while doing the game, i was afraid the progression was too slow, so thanks for the comment! And thanks for the feedback in the music, i spent some time trying to make it fit the game style, i´m really glad you liked it!

@randomerz thank you for the feedback! Doing the art and songs was the most fun part in the game, even tough it was quite hard(i redrew the art 3 times if i´m remembering correctly), and i really put alot of effort in the songs, so i´m really, really glad you liked it! and about the "???" upgrade, i made it, it is possible to unlock it, you need to get to a certain amount of energy to unlock it(not the total energy you ever got, the actual energy that you use) then it shows what it is!

@artonix Thanks! And yeah, i also thought there were few upgrades, but i still wasn't confident with the engine, and i was afraid that some last minute mistake would show up and i wouldn´t be able to post, but who knows, when i improve the game later on, I can put some more upgrades!

@naymsayk thanks! I hope i didn´t lost a joke in the last part and ruinned it now, but, if you pass the mouse in the upgrades of the debug menu, you can see the prices of them.
