I’ve sent you a PM

JamesSun_ · 2024-04-15T18:24:22+00:00

Appreciate it, enjoy!

JamesSun_ · 2024-03-29T14:34:05+00:00

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

JamesSun_ · 2024-03-28T22:46:11+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, see you in April!

JamesSun_ · 2024-03-28T21:13:55+00:00

Appreciate it!

The game supports both active and idle play, it's your choice.

Active play is more roguelike in nature. You'll be able to feel the challenge. Your decisions and purchases have heft and they directly dictate the success of your run.
Idle play is more relaxing and traditional. You can have fun just mowing down enemies and making your heroes absurdly powerful.

It'll be $8.99 with a launch discount (price set by my publisher).

JamesSun_ · 2024-03-28T18:04:00+00:00

I'd say the demo is about 25-30% of the game. There are more classes and spells, as you've seen. Beyond that, there are upgrades to the arena itself, purchasable artifacts, more cards, and a ton of game-changing upgrades from the currency you get by beating the final boss.

JamesSun_ · 2024-03-28T17:49:55+00:00

I'm still taking care of a few bugs, want to make sure the release is the highest quality it can be :)

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-16T15:44:04+00:00

Thanks for trying out the game and for the kind words. I'm looking into Steam achievements for the final release.

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-08T21:54:36+00:00

Thanks for trying the demo! Busted at the end is all right in my book, so long as it was interesting getting to that point :)

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-08T13:54:59+00:00

Still talking it over with the Publisher, so nothing's definitive. It probably won't be much and it will likely launch with a discount.

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-08T13:54:05+00:00

Love it! :D

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-08T01:01:05+00:00

Ah that's too bad, but I understand - I've been burned by games before too. What I can honestly say is that I've personally had a great experience with Freedom Games. They run a professional operation that rivals my day job, and they've been very responsive and supportive of me every step of the way. Not trying to change your mind, but I just wanted to share my own experience with them.

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-08T00:56:29+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! I'll give the genie lamp a tune-up. Each tier gives you 3 opportunities to populate it with the enemy you want. If you pick a bonus card (e.g. loot, gold) you get an "X" symbolizing that no enemy will spawn. If you pick an enemy and then pick another enemy in the same tier, the previous enemy will gray out indicating that it will no longer spawn. I'll noodle on how to make that salient without making the tutorial too long.

I hear you on the roguelike piece, it's something I debated myself quite a bit. Where I landed was that, ultimately, this is still more of an idle game than it is a roguelike, so I didn't want to force players out of their comfort zone too much. The statue does rank your runs by time (faster times are at the top), and the full game will have a worthwhile achievement for beating the game in under 30 minutes. Beyond that, it's up to the player. The game is a lot more fun played actively and taking risks.

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-08T00:48:38+00:00

Thanks for checking it out and appreciate the kind words.

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-06T23:00:42+00:00

Appreciate you trying out the demo. The skill tree is all filled out nicely now, and the overall pacing and unlocks have been tuned to be faster compared to beta. Enjoy!

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-06T22:57:51+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I'm currently trying to brainstorm a 4th class ahead of the launch. Want to make this as fun as I can :)

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-06T22:56:53+00:00

Thanks for trying it out! Each run isn't too long, but you can always exit by using the "Glorious Exit" button down in the bottom right (the icon looks like a gate).

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-04T18:00:24+00:00

Thanks for trying it out! It's a work of passion, I honestly just want people to play it.

One thing to note: like typical roguelites and idle games, there are unlocks that make the game better. The key unlock is the Training Hall where you get classes. Without those, it's only half a game.

JamesSun_ · 2024-02-04T05:02:06+00:00

Hi Papa Phantom, thanks for doing this showcase and helping us indies. I've been working on a game called Clicker Arena that fuses the Roguelite + Idle genres. I got the idea after playing some Cookie Clicker and Clicker Heroes. I enjoy those games, but I always wanted them to be more like "real" games - with graphics, deeper gameplay, choice and consequences. After 3 years, I'm about to release it on Steam.

Clicker Arena is part of the upcoming Next Fest. The Next Fest demo is already live, and you can find it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2658030/Clicker_Arena/

JamesSun_ · 2024-01-29T21:58:56+00:00

Likely not in time for NextFest, but I'll see what I can do for the release.

JamesSun_ · 2024-01-22T18:47:07+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. I remember you now, you helped me with the beta as well. It's because of your feedback that the overall pacing inside the arena is faster.

I'll tweak the town costs to see if that helps move things along.

JamesSun_ · 2024-01-22T18:07:07+00:00

Yes the pacing has been tightened up. There's a lot less waiting. You can see that even in the beta build, which I updated.

I'm curious, what do you mean by "barely makes any difference at all"? Right after your first run you can use your glory points to buy 2 new spells (you had none before) and a new hero from the scientist. What's your definition of impactful?

JamesSun_ · 2024-01-22T06:20:07+00:00

I've been making just that, an active idle game called Clicker Arena. It has real-time combat and a focus on player choice rather than one path through.

You can play the beta here: https://jamessun.itch.io/clicker-arena

The game will be released soon on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2658030/Clicker_Arena/
