Fun incremental jam game, quite good! Finished it in 30m or so, filled out all the slots. Saw on your Twitter that you're working on a mobile version, good luck!
Heya, been playing your game for the past hour and a half and I think you could add some endless aspects into the game, like an upgrade for maybe 250 GB that means that every (X) amount of time the balls double in health, and maybe endless upgrades for the towers, that increase damage, range, area (for the buzzsaw and beam) atcksp etc, would add more content for the people who have beat the game.
Definitely great ideas! Since this was a gamejam game I do plan to keep this version as is. But I'm working on a full version of the game that will make sure there's a lot more content than what's currently here.
Heyaaa, eclipse trap back to check on this, even though there are no updates this game is still awesome, random question : howsit goin? more specifically how's your day been goin?
Thanks for checking in :) My day's going alright. Trying to be focused and work hard because there are a lot of great games coming out in soon (Zelda, Diablo, SF6) so I gotta make sure I have room in the schedule lol.
"I am currently working on a full version of this game that will be targeting mobile platforms." Uff, rather hoped it would become a proper game. But I guess mobile games are just more profitable.
That aside, has there been updates or such since the initial release?
Apologies for that but I do plan to focus my efforts just on the new version. The gamejam version is mostly to show off the concept rather than have any longterm play.
Dunno if Itch works the same way as YouTube does with its comments and the algorithm, but I figured I'd leave a comment here anyway.
Also "I am currently working on a full version of this game that will be targeting mobile platforms. The update will have dozens of new weapons, content, and a whole lot more than an hour of gameplay :)"? More like 17 minutes 49 seconds of gameplay :D
magic seems slow to me, and splitter is the only one that can take care of the third area (micrometer) quickly enough. Oddly, if you put splitter in second area (millimeter), it doesn't matter what you use for the first and third area.
It certainly has been a long time. For this jam/web version I won't be updating it, but I am working on a new version. Will it release soon, I'm honestly not sure, but I am definitely working on it. Thanks for the patience!
Yep! ( A tip for people starting here's a strategy that worked for me. Take 4 shrink lasers ( 2 in the top center and 2 at the bottom ) and get the upgrade 'double range' so that your able to get the orb's/balls that get stuck. That should prevent 'soft locks' (/ having to reset the run) )
Once you get the other areas, you only need two shrink "towers" in the first area, one on top and one not on top (I use one on top in the middle, one on bottom), and take the range and double targets upgrades.
early game, I only go one on top and one on bottom, take the range upgrade, save up for the double-target upgrade. Then it doesn't matter too much after that. Probably hit prestige asap to get the faster ball drop.
So I'm wondering not to be rude or anything but are you still planning to make a mobile version of this or have you set that aside to work on other games?

It is a pretty fun and addicting game. It just needs some touches, and it will become a great one.
Can I switch between weapons?
Not on the fly. You have to hit the prestige button which will reset your run, and then you can choose a different loadout.
Keep up the good work, when is the mobile version coming out, and is it going to be on apple?
can you upload a beta and update it overtime. (for mobile)
back here after 2 months and have to ask how the full version is goin
Still got my head down workin on it.
i think the cutter need to be nerfed, you just make too much money when you have it
It's definitely quite strong if you know where to use it. Will be revisiting that one.
cool! also good luck with upgrading the game!
Thanks so much :)
no problem! creators like you need suports, to continue making/working on games like this!
Shrink Balls. Grow Cash. done.
Great tagline
im obsessed with this game
haha, great to hear :)
It's been 3 years... still workin' on that full version?
No pressure though. I still have high hopes for it. Got any updates for the full version for everyone here?
I am actually and I appreciate the support. I've had to do a ton of changes over time but unfortunately don't have anything worth showing atm.
I love this game! Super excited about the future updates, best wishes!
Thanks a lot, I'm trying!
good work, this was fun :)
Thanks for playing!

Join dicord for suggest ideas

hows it coming?
A lot slower than I'd like, but it's still in the works.
This might be a short game, but MAN it's satisfying to watch when everything's upgraded! Excellent work!
Thanks a lot :)
Love your game.
i have probably come back to it atleast 10 times and beat it atleast 5
its amazing
cant wait for full version!
reason for not always beating is i had things i had to do like homework or stuf lol
Consider it a timed challenge!
any chance itll be updated soon?
Sorry bud, the updates have taken way longer than expected. It's def my highest priority though.
ok :D
as long as they are coming, i cant wait!
hi
good?
Same
falling balls
I'm glad you understand.
Heyaaa, eclipse trap back to check on this, even though there are no updates this game is still awesome,
random question : howsit goin? more specifically how's your day been goin?

How bout you?
I am personally feeling yes (yes=good) I'm planning on grinding some games aswell-
i am back hope you recognize me PeachTreeOath.still a great game to play,really excited for the full version.
Hah, welcome back! I appreciate it and I'm still working hard on that one.
"I am currently working on a full version of this game that will be targeting mobile platforms."
Uff, rather hoped it would become a proper game.
But I guess mobile games are just more profitable.
That aside, has there been updates or such since the initial release?
tbh, I'm still in the tinkering phase and seeing what direction to go with. So while there have been updates, it's nothing worth releasing rn.
I wish you could buy certain GB upgrades multiple times
I've been impressed with how much longer people want to play once the upgrades have all been bought - I probably should've put that in there.
yea, I'm sure there's a lot more in the downloaded version though, so more reason to download it
Short and sweet. I could see myself having a blast with a full version!
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I love it and cannot wait for the mobile version.
Thanks for playing :)
plz try and get a saving feature its kinda annoying spending a hour for all your pogress to just be gone
Apologies for that but I do plan to focus my efforts just on the new version. The gamejam version is mostly to show off the concept rather than have any longterm play.
ok and im srry if i sounded kinda toxic it was like 10 pm
Not a prob! I've had that happen in other games so I get it.
Dunno if Itch works the same way as YouTube does with its comments and the algorithm, but I figured I'd leave a comment here anyway.
Also "I am currently working on a full version of this game that will be targeting mobile platforms. The update will have dozens of new weapons, content, and a whole lot more than an hour of gameplay :)"? More like 17 minutes 49 seconds of gameplay :D
Gonna have some harder modes for players like you too!
Hey, just want to drop a comment on this to say that this is an insanely good game. I cant wait for the full version. Amazing job :D
Thanks a lot. I really want to do a good job on the next version so it's taking a bit, but comments like these motivate me to keep pushing :)
it wont load for me:(
I did notice a while ago that some Chrome extensions were causing it to load very slow for me. Disabling them or trying Firefox might help.
I dont have any chrome extentions so I'm not sure why it won't work:(
Is there a current issue joining the discord server?
Nevermind, I'm in now. Don't know what the issue was before.
Once I get all weapons and all stages I use splitter/shrinker/magic. What builds do yall like to use?
I do the reverse of that build myself.
magic seems slow to me, and splitter is the only one that can take care of the third area (micrometer) quickly enough. Oddly, if you put splitter in second area (millimeter), it doesn't matter what you use for the first and third area.
You gotta use the splitter at the third stage. Every tiny ball becomes $777 and you make billions.
OOOOOH should have worked that out lol
Hey peach I’ve known this game from 2020 and I haven’t seen any updates. Will it release soon or have you stopped developing it?
It certainly has been a long time. For this jam/web version I won't be updating it, but I am working on a new version. Will it release soon, I'm honestly not sure, but I am definitely working on it. Thanks for the patience!
woohoo, looking forward to the mobile version! :)
Popcorn, anyone?
They will revolt against you soon enough.
What? Why though?
Nothing, was just playing :) That does start to bog down the system though.
Amazing what buzzsaw does...
Wow, this game is great- I assumed the slicer would be terrible but it was OP.
Thanks for playing!
Yep! ( A tip for people starting here's a strategy that worked for me. Take 4 shrink lasers ( 2 in the top center and 2 at the bottom ) and get the upgrade 'double range' so that your able to get the orb's/balls that get stuck. That should prevent 'soft locks' (/ having to reset the run) )
Once you get the other areas, you only need two shrink "towers" in the first area, one on top and one not on top (I use one on top in the middle, one on bottom), and take the range and double targets upgrades.
Yea but that's mid/later in the game I was talkin' early game
early game, I only go one on top and one on bottom, take the range upgrade, save up for the double-target upgrade. Then it doesn't matter too much after that. Probably hit prestige asap to get the faster ball drop.
ok nvm the game is kinda short
is it worth it to prestige?the data doesnt save
yes. Once you get the hang of it, you only need to prestige 2 or 3 times to "beat" the game (get all upgrades)
how do i beat the game
There's no ending to it, but if you've bought every golden ball upgrade you can consider that beaten :)
So I'm wondering not to be rude or anything but are you still planning to make a mobile version of this or have you set that aside to work on other games?
NP, this game is still my main focus and I've been working on it. I do do some gamejams from time and time but that's the only other side stuff.
Thank you I appreciate you replying I hope you do well with this game and others.
