The text typing effect for the story is not skippable which is fine but it types slower than I read. All of that is fine the first time. However, not automatically skipping or having the option on the replay turned me off on taking a second stab at it. I will probably play it later as it was enjoyable.
The music was solid but also a bit repetitive. It did do well to add tension and a sense of urgency. Kudos.
I did spend the first minute trying to understand the gameplay loop clicking on everything until I found the blue button which was the last thing I clicked on. While I don't think a tutorial is required or recommended, I would suggest an arrow? or a small glow to signal "start here".
I would have also loved to have an onscreen counter for where I was at for energy addition. Am I adding 1000/s? 2000/s? In the end, the power curve seems to be out of reach. I don't know that the large amount of upgrades and energy is attainable but then again I did lose a minute or so at the start. I also have wrist issues so after a few minutes, I let the passive energy be the only source.
Rough estimate from memory, but for the available upgrades at 55 upgrades, you'd have 2860 / s. At that rate you'd have to generate energy for 122 seconds or 2 minutes to reach the 350,000 required for the escape pods.
if you don't have 55 upgrades at 12 minutes left and change you can't get the escape pod. Is that realistic without killing my wrist?
TLDR: While there are some quality of life things I would have liked, overall this is an excellent game and one I enjoy seeing in the genre. I do enjoy clicker games. Fantastic job for a 3 person team. I will likely play it in the future.
Thank you a lot for your feedback I think it is some of the nicest constructive feedback! I will talk with my team because if we can I would love to bring updates like these post jam just to make it be a little more polished. Because we did cut some planned stuff that were QOL items and more helpful to the player.
Thank you for enjoying our game! Also as a tip if it helps your wrist any you can press space bar, it will press down what ever was the last button you clicked.

Really well done.
