Desktop Jar

Well ive had to change my rating serval times to make sure i get as many keys as possible. Plus i really need to make this review extra long, so i can get as many keys as possible, maybe i just need to keep talking about random stuff to fill this jar up even more? It seems to be working pretty well.

Overall a really fun idea, its great seeing the mix of 2d and 3d elements working together to create a pretty entertaining passive game.
The theme maybe feels like it could be stronger, but overall really innovative.

I love the detailed keycaps.

Класс, где- же оно раньше-то было) Инновация и фан точно ваши)

Cool, where was it before)

Loved this idea for a jam game! Pretty clever realisation

This game make my work more fun today

The concept of having a game that naturally fits into background or work time is really smart. It's surprisingly engaging, especially seeing how the simple act of generating and then selling the buttons creates a neat loop.

Very cool idea, the fact that you dont need to interact with it directly and its just works from all your input is genius

This is such a fun idea to have running in the background. Really satisfying upgrade loop too and I loved the graphical style too. Great job!

Nice background game. Hope you add girl or something to put in jar later

Didn't get it before reading the comments, but having an idler that responds to player activity when in the background is genius! Well done!

@kerioth it is already added! Check the upgrades tab

cute to have on your second monitor C:

Nice game.

Idle clicker game with good graphics and upgrades? Sure. I found myself several times sitting there generating keycaps by clicking the mouse, while saying "I need to stop now ... oh I can afford another upgrade! Just a few more clicks." Being able to hear the keycaps hitting the jar would likely make the game even more enticing to mess with.

I think I'll also use this occasion to type a very long comment in order to fill up my bottle. I just have no idea what to say except that it's such a good idea omg I may keep using it even outside of the jam cause it's really funny. Okay I'm two thirds of the way to fill up the bottle, just a little more, come on, lorem ipsum, sample text, idk something haha wow owo hehehehehehehehehehehehehe okay I think it's filled up now, good. Wait, omg, there's upgrades and even a cute girl in the jar at the end?? That's peak

Everything worked well.
I like your interpretation of the theme. :)
It is cool, that also mouse clicks get recognised.

The UI is very clear. A little thing that I missed in the upgrade section: It would be nice, if you could tell what an upgrade changes BEFORE I buy it. Do I get 1 or 5% more durability? You could show that while hovering above the upgrade button.

I also like the statistic screen, where things are unlocked till you get the first keycap of its kind. Really enjoyed this one...I mean it is still going on in the background. ;)

Really cool! Feels well polished and I love that you collect actaual keycaps while typing ^^

Thank you for submitting this to the stream today. I'm not really a gambling person or get addicted to games, with one exception being Idle/Incremental games. So I am making the conscious desicion to not play this game anymore for fear of falling prey to it :(

I do quite enjoyed playing around with this and I think this is a fabulous little companion desktop toy. It a cute way to keep motivation while typing away. Maybe I dont really wanna finish my current task, but hunting the next keycap type could just be motivation enough. All to say, great in its simplicity and I enjoyed playing around with it.

What kind of sorcery is this? I didn't know unity could do that :D I can play other games now while this jar is working on the second monitor. Very cute!

This is a really fun concept to have it just always going in the background and then kind of tick over to make your sale. The upgrades felt fun and were pretty easy to unlock to a point where it felt satisfying. Really nice work. Congrats!

The game isn’t actually about signals at all—it’s kind of weird and a bit janky—but I got hooked, and I think that’s the main indicator of its quality.

@vnuk-kenobi pressing a key on your keyboard sends a signal to your motherboard. Everything is a signal in computers

Wow a keylogger ... yeah, its not going to be running while I do my work or insert my passwords :D

@petr-vejchoda if I wanted to make a keylogger I would make a furry nsfw horror instead, but then again they say to hide a tree in the forest so you might be right

@ranejeb exactly

@ranejeb there is a memory leak. I started a keylogger and let it run for some time and the game gobbled 2,2 gigs of RAM and crashed.

I like the idea, I was curious of girl in the bottle. Well ...

@petr-vejchoda please download latest version, there is a devlog on the page talking about this memory leak...

Здорово, и прикольно, рука повеселила конечно.

I didn't fully understand the way the keys collected, so the first time I played, it felt like a painfully slow clicker game. Realizing that you could use any button, and it worked even without focus, then I went back, played a bit more, and safjhedsfjfjsksdfhsdjkfhdsjkfhdsjkfhdsjkhfdjksdfhsjkfhksjhfdjskhfdsjkfhsdjkfshdfjkdshkjsdhfdjksfsdhohhh okay this is pretty goosjkdfhsjkdfhdjskhfjdkshfjsdhfjksdhfjkdshjkds
