Thanks! I made it in plain Javascript with html elements, and gifs for graphics. It's a bit primitive, but's it's been the most fun game project I ever worked on :)
I've been thinking about doing this exact thing to brush up on javascript(new to the language but not programming)! Do you have any resources you recommend or that you used?
Actually javascript is the only language I've learned, and I learned it through Codecademy some years back. The good thing about working in javascript is that it is so widely used, that every question has been asked on the internet already.. I didn't use any resources really, just started putting some simple html and javascript together one night :) But I'd love to answer any questions you might have
Man, that's awesome! And yeah I guess anything you'd want to know is really just a search away.
I loved your dungeon system, it felt rewarding to go do something else and let materials accrue only to get to come back and get to pump Derek up each time. I'm eagerly awaiting the updates.
Yep. Also having the game save its state would be good. I accidentally reloaded the page and when I came back I had lost hours and hours of grinding so gave up :/
Great game! One issue I found: the coco the friends generate (like the Coco ghost) is lost if you upgrade the Swirly Straw. I was making 7/second; (1 from Juicosaurus, 3 from Coco ghost, 3 from straw). The straw upgrade said it would begin sucking 10/second, but after upgrading I'm only getting 10/second instead of the expected 14 with my friends.
I'm confused. The first thing I learn about my planet is that it has no life on it. The next thing I learn about it is that it's covered with beautiful lush forests. That sure sounds like life for me. Are these zombie trees I'm chopping down? :)
yeah it looks like it, cause i have meltyface but when I left and then came back it reset me so now i need to do the whole thing over again, which is fine i guess. not the big of a deal
I'm playing in the latest version of Firefox (63.0.3) and it failed to save for me. After leaving the page and coming back, I have to start from the beginning again.
Ah, sorry to hear that. I'm trying to free up some time to do fixes.. But until then, try playing it in chrome. Hopefully it will save your progress there
I am playing on sarfari and i cannot scrole down in the space shop and the only way to scrole down is to max everything out. Pls fix it so i can enjoy the heck out of it✌️
I'm sorry to hear that. I just played it on Safari myself, and the scrolling seemed fine there. Is it only in the shop or everywhere? Otherwise you can try to play it on google chrome :
I know the input could be a bit better. I might spend some time on getting it to work better some time soon.. I didn't experience that posting a comment deletes progress. What browser are you on?
Absolutely amazing! With just buttons, text and some animations a whole universe is created with characters, locations, stories. I hope to see more content!
Thanks! :D Do you mean a desktop application? You can already play it in the browser here.. Or on my website christianlaumark/planet. The game is just a html page with some Javascript :P
This is the best idle game I have ever played, it has lots of cute characters, it's funny, and the music is awesome. Out of curiosity, how did you store the amount of materials that you had in between sessions?
Thanks a bunch Riley! That really means a lot :) Actually that's the one part of the game that I didn't do myself. I had a colleague help me wrap the game for an iOS app, and he also helped me with the save state. From the looks of the code I'm pretty sure he used localStorage.
Thanks for playing. Glad you liked it :) 1. The dungeon never ends. It will just be too hard eventually.. If I get more time to develop the game, I want to add more choices to the dungeon system. But I think it works out as a tiny dungeon crawling feature.
2. For every jerk on the level it checks a random number between 0 and Dereks strength, against the number of jerks on that level. If that number is smaller than the amount of jerks, then Derek loses between 1 and 5 health.
Thanks :) I would love to see this become a fully fledged game with alot more encounters and possibly a rebirth system (So once you complete a planet you get to move on to another planet in space and depending on your actions on your previous planets depends on what happens on the new one, like if you decided idk that you would blow up another planet on your first play through then lets say randomly on a play through after that you might find the remains of the planet or something) anyway just keep doing what your doing because it's working :)
well. That was quite the enjoyable little experience! I loved the idle animations of the sprites, the pacing was well done, and the overall silliness really lended itself to a fun little game. well done! The only issue I ever really had is the buttons sometimes not responding very quickly. that's it though.

First off, Great game! Ive played it a ton, and i love the music and characters. The little gifs are so cute!
Second, oh my god i have no idea what the answer to the first question is i've already wasted so many resources on ghosts help
Really good tho
Haha thanks! I love your name :D
Alright, I'll give you a hint: Think of it as a dungeon door that's being knocked on
BTW these graphics are FANTASTIC
Thaanks! :D
Great game!!!!!
Thanks Daniel! :)
Um what did you make this in?
(engine / language)
Thanks!

Thanks for the inspiration honestly.
Thanks a bunch man :)
I'm really happy you liked the game. Get in touch with me anytime if you need help with ideas/art/code/anything!
This game is really cool THANKS
Being able to win healing potions or skill refreshes in the dungeon might make it a little more varied.
Great idea! Like finding doors that would give one of those things at random :)
Yep. Also having the game save its state would be good. I accidentally reloaded the page and when I came back I had lost hours and hours of grinding so gave up :/
Ah really? That's not good.. I'll have to look into that. It should save your state
Sweatson seems bugged as I am getting no gold from him but am from John.
I'll have a look at it Thanks for noticing :)
Awesome game, really cool! My suggestion: make the dungeon a little easier so you can reach lvl100 and put a nice surprise there!
Great to hear! Heheheehe, but the dungeon is going to be deeper than that man. Waaaay deeepr ;)
Finished it. It was really cool!
Hope more updates and content are added :)
Slowly making progress on the next chapter :)
Currently working on a deeper dungeon system. Hehe.. Not deeper as in more levels, but hopefully more fun!
Teaser.. There are going to be doors!
A brilliant Idea-o Great Work boyo!
Amazing game! Loved the graphics and overall concept. Hope you continue it!
This game reminds me why I love video games. Great/fun narrative and interesting charcters!

Love this game
Just finished, that was great! :)
Absolutely got addicted the minute I started playing! Thank you! I will be supporting as best as I can :)
i hope yall make brocolli world soon, cant wait to play that part, this game was pretty fun
unless there is and I just don't see it, would be nice if there was a save option. otherwise really love it
It should save automatically.. Do you lose your progress when you quit the game?
yeah it looks like it, cause i have meltyface but when I left and then came back it reset me so now i need to do the whole thing over again, which is fine i guess. not the big of a deal
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. What browser are you playing in?

I totally love this game! It's so much fun to Play!
Best game ever! Really well made. hope you make broccoli planet soon. What if Loch Juice is related to jucisaurus! just saying.
Yeh i finished ot yesterday and i really hope the planet is compleated soon
I am playing on sarfari and i cannot scrole down in the space shop and the only way to scrole down is to max everything out. Pls fix it so i can enjoy the heck out of it✌️
I'm sorry to hear that. I just played it on Safari myself, and the scrolling seemed fine there. Is it only in the shop or everywhere?
Otherwise you can try to play it on google chrome :
It works on google and when i buy stuff i dont need all the materials to buy it so i can spam buy it its fun but the bame gets compleated to quickly
There's a UI problem with the web version, it doesn't register button presses if the mouse isn't held completely still.
Also posting a comment deletes all progress.
Hey. Thanks for playing.
I know the input could be a bit better. I might spend some time on getting it to work better some time soon..
I didn't experience that posting a comment deletes progress. What browser are you on?
Ok actually the input thing was way easier to fix than I thought, so I got it working now :)
Cute game, loved the graphics and music. Your game caught on on Reddit btw! (link)
Thank you! And yeah it's crazy. I'm really happy to see that people are enjoying it :)
first stuck on "hello", now stuck on "continue".
options menu is accessible, but none of its buttons do anything.
Ah, that sucks. What browser are you using?
chrome, windows 10
(just tried it on my home-pc, firefox, win 7: works)
Ah, glad to hear it. Otherwise go to http://christianlaumark.dk/planet/ and see if it works for you there instead
"Say goodbye to Burger" :´|
planet- 11:42
i personally love games that take time to grind!Very entertaining! Loved the graphics and the simple interactions.
i haven't played too much of this game yet, but i love it. i'm kinda scared that it'll become "The Giving Tree" though.
This was just a bunch of buttons placed net to each other... but is was a great bunch of buttons next to each other... ver nice simplistic gameplay
Absolutely amazing! With just buttons, text and some animations a whole universe is created with characters, locations, stories. I hope to see more content!
This was AMAZING can you make a computer verison?
Thanks! :D
Do you mean a desktop application? You can already play it in the browser here.. Or on my website christianlaumark/planet. The game is just a html page with some Javascript :P
how do you actualy get stardust
The Slotmachine :) And fighting in the dungeon
This is amazing TUD! It was really fun seeing you play the game. Can't wait for part 2 :)
Here's part 2, it was a fun game to play and I loved the story.
This is the best idle game I have ever played, it has lots of cute characters, it's funny, and the music is awesome. Out of curiosity, how did you store the amount of materials that you had in between sessions?

cute little game!
Great Game! I just had 2 questions,
1. Does the dungeon eventually end or can you just go until you physically can't go any further (because of a lack of upgrades).
2. What formula do you use to work out how much health is lost when Derek goes into the dungeon? (example: Jerks*5-strength=lost health)
Hey Diggy!
Thanks for playing. Glad you liked it :)
1. The dungeon never ends. It will just be too hard eventually.. If I get more time to develop the game, I want to add more choices to the dungeon system. But I think it works out as a tiny dungeon crawling feature.
2. For every jerk on the level it checks a random number between 0 and Dereks strength, against the number of jerks on that level. If that number is smaller than the amount of jerks, then Derek loses between 1 and 5 health.
Hope that answers your questions :)

That's a cool idea. I really hope I get to work more on the game! If so I might consider a rebirth system. Thanks for the feedback :)
