Gramlins

More caffeine!!

A simple clicker where you have to take care of tiny addicted-to-caffeine creatures that reproduce like amoebas when happy but kill you if you deprive them of caffeine for too long.

Mini lore (story)

You crashed on a mysterious planet. It's so dark, you didn't see it until it was too late! There are tiny creatures that look hungry, and only your coffee machine has survived. They seem to love it! Oh wait, they're addicted now! Well, at least they work while they're happy. You might be able to get them to repair your ship so you can go back home.

📜How to play

Main objective: escape the mysterious dark planet you crashed on. 

• Coffee machine:
  • Can be upgraded: the jar will hold more cups of coffee.
  • Fill the jar by clicking on it or the machine when empty.
  • Grab a coffee the same way. Then just click on a gramlin to use it.

• Gramlins:
  • Have 4 levels of happiness: 4 (round eyes) is happy, and it goes down to 1. After that (0), they will kill you.
  • When they complete one happy round, they grow. When they grow enough, they divide, like amoebas! You can play with that to survive longer.
  • If the gramlin is already happy when you give it a coffee, it will grow.

• Gramlin activities: The bottom bars tell you how many happy gramlins you need to do these, and which happiness level they will have after finishing.
  • Coffee machine upgrades: direct,no time for now.
  • "Any work": 
    • Expeditions: these get you 1 resource every time, but sent gramlins will disappear for 10 seconds.
    • Repairs: you will need gramlins plus resources. No time for now.

• Rocket: it needs 4 repairs to fully condition it to go back home. The last would be fueling it (lights turn on) but it isn't distinguished yet.
