The Little Guys

Normal Guy

He was told to click the button.

He has been clicking the button.

Nobody has told him why.

He's reliable, he's hardworking, and he's probably wondering when his shift ends.

Happy Guy

This is the best job he's ever had.

It's also his first job.

He loves clicking the button. He loves getting paid. He loves pretty much everything.

Nobody knows where all that happiness comes from.

Angry Guy

He has several complaints.

Nobody has listened to any of them.

So now he's taking his frustration out on the button.

He's angry, he's fast, and honestly, he's probably the hardest worker here.

Golden Guy

He knows he's the most important person in the room.

He has more money than you.

He's not subtle about it.

The Golden Guy is expensive, shiny, and extremely good at making money.

Random Events

Sometimes things happen.

Happy Moment

Everyone gets a little happier and starts making more money.

Nobody knows what happened.

Nobody is asking questions.

Just enjoy it.

Angry Rage

The Angry Guys have had enough.

They become even more productive for a short time.

The button is not going to survive this.

Keep an eye on the screen. You never know when the Little Guys are about to make you a lot richer.

Made for the Jam

Little Guys was made for The Little Guy Game Jam.

The game was built around the themes LITTLE GUY and EXPRESSION, with each Little Guy having their own visual identity, personality, and behavior.

Hi!! This a really cute game, very fun and I love the visual effects!

I think I found a bug tho, with a large amount of guys, it seems to have a memory leak. After I got a handful of golden guys, my whole PC froze, and when I checked the system monitor all of my RAM was in use. When I pause the game it gives up the RAM and then slowly takes it up again when unpaused. I was using the web build on Waterfox with Linux, if that helps.

Thanks! I’ll look into it! Thank you for trying out my game!

Its a fun idea, but like others said the shop doesn't work. I did find that if I manually clicked enough to buy something, went back to the main menu, then went back into the game I could buy the thing from the shop so maybe its just not updating the shop correctly. I like the idea!

With this workaround, I declare myself the first person to beat your game :)

Im so proud of you!

looks cool but cant test the game, shop buttons fail to function 

Hi there, im so sorry about that, a new hotfix is live and the bug should be resolved! Enjoy

the store is not working. I love your game.! please fix.

Hi Kronfeld! Im so sorry about that, and also thank you so much for even taking the time to try out my game, i patched an hotfix and the working version should be live!

(1 edit)

due to "little guys" and "upgrades" are unlimited, then 1 million is too little and also inevitable, If I have $+1000/sec just need 100 seconds.

Cant buy any of the little guys :(

Hi TrenchToast! Im really sorry about the bug and it should now be resolved in the latest patch. Thank you so much for doing the effort of trying out the game and especially for pointing me to this issue!

no problem :)
