All audio assets, player and enemy animations.

a very unusual and interesting idea!! in addition, I would like to mention a pleasant sound design. I've never seen a game in the corner before xD

Eh! I really enjoyed this and have been keeping it playing in the background as I play other jam games checking in every now and then is nice to see the progression while I wasn't paying attention.  Great entry.

The game looks good and I love the concept (It's literally the same that we made for the jam)! I think that it could improve the pace of the game if the player was moving faster or if there was less enemies to figth. Nice work!

Very neat idea. I didn't expect an idle game but it fits well. The game looks amazing! Good job:)

Quite simple but overall really good! Had a lot of fun :)

Simple but nice premise! I think the fact that if I step away from my computer for too long I might die carelessly adds a lot to the feeling of risk, which is a pretty clever play on the theme haha.

The only thing for me is that I think the music could've been set to loop as the abrupt end of it might be a bit odd for some players. I also think the equipment could be made cheaper since I think the initial price of the items seemed quite high at least for me, but it also might be because I need to spend more time letting the hero progress.

Overall, this was a fun game and a really nice twist on the idle-genre of games.

I've never heard of an idle game before tbh but it's a cool idea! The art in this game was a great choice well done! :)

great game, nice art and feels solid, wish there more mechanics of taking a risk

Submitted

Loved this little game so much. thank you for making it. I have a friend who loves idle games, definitely recommending it

Submitted

Great game overall! Loved the style it went for, and it's execution. Although I do wish there was a little bit more to the game that involved taking a risk for a reward like the theme suggests. But that aside it feels really nice to play and is very polished, great work!

A neat idle game, it'd be fun to just let it run in the corner. Although since it is supposed to be idle, I think adding a way for people to leave a world without having to manually leave it would be nice. Otherwise, cool game!

Submitted

I like idle games like this. A fleshed out idle game like this would definitly be a good game. Good job!

Submitted

Fun to watch and enjoyable to play.

fun little idle game

Such a fun concept of having a little adventurer in the corner as I do other stuff on my computer. I didn't realize that the guy automatically fights at first. I really enjoyed the game, and I'm excited to see what else you could do with this concept!

Submitted

very neat little idle/desktop game! love the visual it looks so cute!

Submitted

Great visuals and animations, and I like the idea of having it idle on the screen while you do other things. Unfortunately I didn't really understand the rewards system, I would send my guy out and he'd kill people but my money didn't seem to go up, so I never managed to upgrade anything. Did I misunderstand something?

When you get to the checkpoints, you must decide if you should leave or continue. The rewards increase as you get deeper into the run but die and you lose everything!!!

Oh, I see! I'll have to try it again
