I visited space! Rad!
Love it, keep it up!
I love incrementals but they rarely look this good. Hope you continue development after the jam, with enough content I’d love to waste a few weeks of my life playing this.
Glad you enjoyed it! I have some plans for a post-jam version, based on the feedback I've been getting and also some ideas I was not able to implement yet.
What a lovely little game. Loved the ASCII visuals and watching my researchers bumble around. Thanks!
An absolute gem. From the aesthetic to gameplay, all- just perfect. So fun and charming!! Thank you for creating this
Big number
Loved it :)
woah, this is really awesome!
havent played a clicker style game in a while but this was amazin
I'm a sucker for incremental games, and I absolutely love the aesthetic! The way the soundtrack is constructed from the different loops is really cool, great game!
really stasfying
Stayed for the polyrhythms, amazing visuals
scratches an itch i didnt know i had, great concept & perfectly executed.
Cute! Simple concept, but I like the ASCII aesthetic and I love the little music tracks that it generates from your trains passing the stations
What can I say... this is why incremental games do so well! I have to say that even though I usually do not like repetitive sounds, I actually found the audio here part of what makes the game so addicting.
Now this is what I call stonks! Extremely enjoyable game, very well executed concept and UI! Congratulations! 👏👏👏
very good.
Big number go bigger !
And very good artstyle :)
Really like the art style (crazy to think how this was implemented)! I also like seeing big number go up
A very satisfying incremental game, genuinely commercially viable.
The sound design becomes a bit oppressive until it hits a standard musical pattern then it becomes something to dance to! XD
LOVE the design, the text based representation of objects and concepts.
We left a rating! If you can do the same that would be neat!
Honestly the best cookie clicker type game i've played, the aesthetic of a text based game is awesome.
How did you do this in 4 days
So cool!
I love the aestethics! The SFX were also quite satisfying. Both at low speed when it felt like music and at high speed, emphasizing the feeling of progression. Congrats
Nothing beat a jet2holidays
Underrated comment
I like when my money goes like BRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The game volume on dangerously high levels!
Really loved the terminal based ui style. Also extremely addictive.
addictive, very good
This is awesome. Though short, felt better than some idle games I've played
I played this game for 15 minutes and was able to visit space! This is a very addictive game loop. And I really love the minimalistic art you've used.
Thank you for this piece of art and please continue the work on it! Would love to visit space again!
Really glad you enjoyed it!
Visuals were hard to read at first, but cool!
I played this way longer than I expected to. There was always something to push me to keep going, AND it had a satisfying ending. Love it!
Not a game. Tis an art piece! Wonderful
beautiful game feel like using linux wm
This has Universal Paperclips potential — seriously!
I feel like I could get lost in this for hours if you keep expanding the idea.
Also, I absolutely love the ASCII-style visuals — such a nostalgic and bold choice.
Played it with genuine enjoyment. Great work!
Love it! Had me hooked immediately! Also love the sound design, good job!
Thanks! Nice to hear!
One of the most unique looking games I've ever played! It's really fun endlessly clicking, buying trains, stations and stuff. Nice job!
A more juicy version of the paperclip genre. Loved the sights and sounds, plus the final card was awesome. This is the game I wish I'd made lol
i love this ascii art aesthetic
also all the sound effects playing at the same time when you have a lot of trains is very epic
Beautiful game!
