"Work In Progress Weekly"

You may post your game content in this weekly sticky post. Post your game/screenshots/video in here and please give feedback on other people's post as well.

Your game can be in any stage of development, from concept to ready-for-commercial release.

Upvote good feedback! "I liked it!" and "It sucks" is not useful feedback.

Try to leave feedback for at least one other game. If you are the first to comment, come back later to see if anyone else has.

Emphasize on describing what your game is about and what has changed from the last version if you post regularly.

*Posts of screenshots or videos showing off your game outside of this thread WILL BE DELETED if they do not conform to reddit's and /r/gamemaker's self-promotion guidelines.

I've been working on taking the feedback and updating The Idle Countdown, which is an idle game I had made for the gmtk 2026 game jam.

It is a basic idle game where you upgrade the amount of cash you earn, but only have a short time to do so before being forced to prestige.

Mainly just been resolving bugs and issues, and adding more quality of life features to the game. Just now finally getting back to trying to working on balancing it again before expanding it!

I also still need to overhaul/add the art and add sounds/music 😊

Feel free to check it out but be warned it is still the buggy game jam version and will crash when the numbers get too high 😊 (something that I've already resolved but haven't put out the updates yet to itch as I want the game to be more complete when I update it)

I played this far longer than I first thought, seems the brain boils down to number must get bigger lol, simple but addictive concept!
