(Idle?) Monster by KayZ

[raw]
made by KayZ for LD33 (COMPO)
It's the advent of incremental, idle and clicker games. The player clicks a few times, buys some upgrades and the game just progresses over time, even while he is offline.

=========
UNTIL NOW
=========

You are the monster in an idle game and you get the chance to fight back!

Evade his clicks, infect his auto clicker scripts, steal his gold and destroy his progress!

Raise his frustration until he doesn't want to play anymore and gives up!

I love clicker games. Playing one from the 'other side' is such a cleaver idea, I love it!

This is great! You and I thought of the same idea, but I really love how you implemented it.

Very nice Game! Great concept and well implemented. Especially with the fact that you don't use any graphics at all.

Cool twist. I feel like just another fake cursor over the "player" buttons would do a lot to make it more immediately obvious which side you don't control.

Very fun game, if one enjoys clicker-style games. I like the thought of being on the other side of one, neat idea.

I really dislike this type of game normally, but I enjoyed this one. Nice work!

Very good idea ! The interface could be better (it's too basic).

A scathing critique of clicking games... that is played by clicking! The strategies required to complete the game are deeper than I'd imagined going in: beating the clickers takes some planning and careful management of resources and time. My only real criticism is the lack of graphics (I'd love to be able to see the frustrated and raging faces of the players, for example) and the fact that the pop-up powerup doesn't seem to do anything (although I may be wrong and just didn't notice it: again, some graphics showing the "enemy's" screen and their cursor position could be useful).

This was fantastic. I'm glad I played this game to completion. Now it's time to do something important. Like go to the gym.

Interesting game, if not ironic that the monster turns into a clicker too.

Good take on the theme. A little bit of graphics would definitely make it more exciting, but as a parody of idle games it makes sense to have no graphics.

Why even participate in graphics?

Really interesting to play the other side of the game. I like how you sort of need to rely on your enemy to get you upgrades.

Dang it, you tricked me into playing an idle game.. but hey, at least I'm not the monster... a lot of depth, nice entry

Hilarious :-p

Obviously, not any more gameplay than the genre it's parodying, but, very funny. Played it all the way through.

Pretty amusing take on the theme although I find it ironic that you're playing an idle clicker game where you're trying to defeat an idle clicker.

An addicting clicker game. Nice take on the theme. Good work!
