First off, why are so many of these popping up on newgrounds?
Second thing is simple, it was great! I'd prefer a bigger screen and a lot more features but it kept my attention for the 20 odd some minutes it took to beat!
Reviews for "Cosmic Clicks"
DarkTimmy responds:
I dunno why there are a lot of clicker games. Kinda interesting since the whole cookie clicker and candy clicker things. Thanks for playing and there will be a sequel if people want. I enjoyed making this a lot and Steve and Max are always up for more adventures! best, -Tim
Brilliant! The wit! The sarcasm! The geeky references!
I have to tell you honestly, my good fellow: When I finished, I ~really~ feel like I accomplished something - like I could go out and conquer the world!
DarkTimmy responds:
HAHA! That is an awesome comment! Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun making the game and it was a blast to write the dialog for Steve and Max. I am happy the game is resonating with some people since it was a really fun game to make. I appreciate you taking a moment to write and REALLY thank you for the play! Best, -Tim
Now THIS is how you make a cookie clicker clone on Newgrounds! Back in my Planet Clicker review, we saw how NOT to do it. Fortunately, Cosmic Clicks delivers the goods. Why would anyone make a free game that rips off another free game? I say why the hell not! The gameplay is every bit as good as Cookie Clicker, and the characters and humor are fresh. I personally worked the tech tree from back to front and didn't particularly regret what that did to the story. X3
Everyone even remotely interested in game design should play Cookie Clicker, Planet Clicker, and Cosmic Clicks, in that order, for a textbook example of the DOs and DON'Ts of firing off a Me-Too entry into a popular new genre. New Theme = Good. New IP = good. Missing Features = Bad. Shit Programming = Very bad. Increased wait time in a game based on waiting = deal-breaker. Cosmic Clicks succeeded in every way that Planet Clicker failed.
Best of luck to DarqTimmy. Now I need to go check out Boss 101, see what these guys were up to back in the day...
DarkTimmy responds:
Thanks so much and really glad you like the game. I will be frank and say I didn't know how this would be received. I mean, I liked it and enjoyed making it. haha. It was very nice to see others enjoyed it too! I heard about some clicker games but in many ways I just made Cosmic Clicks and didn't check too hard on what else was out there. I do admit to loving the click games though!
Thanks again for the nice review and the comments, Really made my day to read it along with all the other nice reviews. More to come for sure so look for info on Boss 101 sequels as well as a possible Cosmic Clicks sequel!
Best, -Tim
I loved this game :)
The upgrades near the end seemed a bit too exponentially away from other upgrades, I was sucked in at first because the dialogue kept flowing, but then it slowed down and I watched tv while the game played itself....but that's not saying its a bad game. Not at all :) I kept playing, and enjoyed my time, you made a good game. I just felt the ending dragged on a bit longer than I wanted.
Thanks for the fun times :) I look forward to seeing what you have next!
DarkTimmy responds:
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really enjoy making games and one thing I look to do is entertain with my stories. I appreciate you taking a moment to play and write something down! Best, -Tim
Hi! I really enjoyed this game. The timed feature put a nice spin on the clicker concept, and the dialogue was fun. Thanks for a great game!
