Publicover & Co., Winter 2020–present
The result of one of the Publicover & Co. app jams, this is a JavaScript incremental browser game that helps smokers focus on not smoking. It simulates the first 72 hours of tobacco cessation. It works like any other incremental game, except there is a time limit per click. This is represented by a constantly refreshing progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Users must click once per second to gain 1 willpower, the main resource. If the button is not clicked, the user will lose 1 willpower. If the balance goes negative, the game still continues but users must now click twice per second. Users can spend willpower on upgrades that do things such as increase the time interval to earn willpower, earning multiple willpowers per click and clicking multipliers.
The end game. I have several iterations of how this system works with large numbers, but I need to introduce more mechanics after certain thresholds (much like Universal Paperclips, one of the originals of the genre) if the game is going to have any staying power past tobacco cessation.
