Axomorph Idle

Axomorph Idle! An idle game about transforming an axolotl cell into the ultimate biogentic axolotl form! In Axomorph Idle, you start off with a cell, using Axonomes through idling to upgrade the Axolotl cell into a limited form. Go through the stages of growth by body part, until you finally get a fully fledged adult Axolotl! Unlock upgrades for specific parts of the axolotl, different axolotl forms, and eventually different stages to fully develop your axolotl into the most powerful one in existence!

Major stages of the game

Parts

Parts is the entire base of the game, and where you will focus your efforts for the start of the game. There are 6 parts in the game: Body, Head, Gills, Tail, Fin, and Limbs. Each part helps you progress in the game, and will have it's own features of reset, upgrades, and more.

Growth

Growth is the first major stage of the game and where a lot of early upgrades are. Growth contains 8 tabs, 6 of them are tabs directly correlating to the 6 parts, and 2 are middle and end tab with special resets. Each Growth tab has it's own theme, and directly boosted by it's own part. Progression through Growth can be slow, but each one unlocks the next until you reach the next major tier: Mutation.

AI: 

No graphical assets or major content was AI generated. Was used to help me with database/shaders/animations, but otherwise used just for small bug fixes.

Inspiration: 

Revolution Idle was a game that inspired some of the decisions in this game, I played it a lot and decided I want to make an idle game based on my favorite animal: Axolotls.

Developer Notes:

Overall I really enjoyed making the game, and while it wasn't perfect, it was a great learning experience for me to learn video game development, and about technologies such as databases and signing I didn't know how to use before. Hope you enjoy playing the game.
