Well Gnome! by Delunado
The Well is deep. The Well holds hidden secrets.
Pick up the gnomes, one by one, and throw them in. Make them work.
Buy upgrades with the hard-earned money and DIG, DIG, DIG.
PD: The game can get wild. If Web performance is not good, please download the desktop version, will work better. It's worth! :)

I played to the point of the camera shake making me a little motion sick. Clearly gnomebody was meant to play this far.
(found the mighty sandwitch)
Had a lot of fun!

But anyways,
Things I'd do form that point:
* add more unlocks and expand the game to the whole gnoe world
* add more items (super-gem/ ultra-gnome)
* add power tools
Things I would fix/change:
* make it look less similar to a cheap-mobile game, Maybe add a second gameplay-mechanic, based on a somewhat more complex idea (maybe some math-formular on statistics to compute the income generated by all the gnome workers, or something fun)
This was more fun than most of those clicker games out there.
My trampoline didn't launch a single gnome into the well I don't think lol, and most of them got knocked out by the gems and coins flying out, I think if you resolved these issues, and made it easier to keep up with collecting the coins this game would be even better!
Very fun game, had difficulties with the controls, but that's intended, so it's OK!
Nice one!
