Click-o-Calypse
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
IMPORTANT - Please ensure you have downloaded the zip suffixed 'hotfix'. This update fixed a critical bug that prevented the game from being completable
You find yourself in a hostile but beautiful world full of robots that mean to mangle you. All you have is yourself and a helpful, friendly voice in your head. And while you're happy to click away and turn metal into scrap; something about the world doesn't seem quite right.
You are yourself responsible for awarding suitable amount of XP to yourself as you play.
All music, voice recordings and poetry was done during the jam, we only did use one or two SFX from other sources.
The vast majority of the visuals/graphics was done during the jam too, some were modifications of prior assets, but I don't even want to think about how much original stuff was made during the jam.

Tips and Tricks
You don't have to read this section if you want to go in fresh and discover stuff for yourself!
You can walk about while fighting and it is an auto-battler so you can focus on gaining experience and buying new abilities as soon as they get unlocked. A full XP-bar doesn't make anyone happy!
The combat system is quite involved, and it seems like the estimated DPS calculations when looting may be a bit off, so here's a general guide:
Materials: Cardboard < Plastic < Brass < Aluminum < Titanium
Bases: Plasma Baton < Plasma Sword < Laser Gun < Plasma Uzi < Laser Rifle < Rail Gun
Quality: Poor < Ordinary < Fancy. Chaotic pushes results from the middle towards both ends.
However as you can level up your skills unevenly you might do more damage with a cardboard plasma baton than a plastic laser gun if you've spent your xp that way.
The Gear:
Quality: Soiled < Basic < Fancy < Royal < Impossible
Material: Cardboard < Plastic < Brass < Aluminum < Obsidian
The enemy encounter markers have different sizes and color indicating how dangerous in general they are.
To succeed you need to make sure to gain XP and place some on the aggression and appearance trees and not only focus on what makes you generate more XP faster.
Accessibility:
- If your wrist hurt easily from clicking, then as long as you never click the XP button yourself the game will give you auto-clickers. You still have to manually click to unlock abilities though.
Known bugs:
- There's an entity, and we really really tried, but in sometimes it may disregard the grid and even walls before coming back on track
