Your goal is to protect the Earth from harmful pollutants produced from factories. Click on factories to get rid of them. The more factories you have on Earth the quicker the ozone layer will deteriorate, so clear factories as fast as you can to delay the inevitable and save the planet while you still can!

Controls:
Left click: destroy factories,
Escape or P: pause

All art, code, music, and sound effects where made by me during the Jam period. The art was made in Adobe Illustrator, music and sfx where done in Ableton live (Which crashed and lost me 3 hours of progress right before submission - fun!), and code was done in Unity and Vscode.

unfortunately the custom cursor is not working in the webGL build.

Tools: Unity

This was pretty fun, nice take on a reaction style game.

Great music, very ominous!

Neat entry. Loved creepy music. This game would probably be great for training mouse accuracy :p

Fun little game. This is the kind of game that my friends and I would get competitive over and play for an entire night taking turns to see who can get the highest score. I got 111.

Nice little game! I love quick clickers so this was quite fun

How did you get 111!? My best was 56 and it was so hard!

Nice clicker game. Some early indication system would let it feel less random. For instance indicating in which region the factor 2 steps ahead might shop up at or something like that.

It's a nice, easy to pick up, replayable game. You did a great job making all the art and other assets yourself.

Good use of the theme! Good job keeping it simple. I would have liked to see a few more mechanics, and the ramp from "too easy" to "holy crap!" was very sudden.

Hey, nice idea! My game is kinda like this too!

Simple and nice! I like it. The music sounds super good and fits the game very well. It is fun to see so many games with similar idea behind it, but with completely different execution :) My best score is 45. Good job!

I appreciate the audio settings, but when I restarted after losing, the audio levels reset back to their defaults.

The difficulty level does ramp up pretty quickly once you get to a score of about 20.

Might also be nice to have some sort of delay after losing before the menu appears. Since I'm clicking a lot I accidently clicked on restart before I was able to see my score.

It was a fun concept, nice job!
