Machine Mind concept art - winter biome

Another addition from the latest playtest is the winter biome! It's filled to the brim with snow, unique structures, snow, even more dangerous inhabitants, and snow!

Environment effects in Kickback Clicker

During the process of clearing, different effects may appear and change the gameplay a bit. In example, your sight may malfunction and point at random places, or a convenient meteor shower may help you purge some creatures.

Fuel — new resource that needs to be used wisely

In the full version of Kickback Clicker, each shot or ability will consume fuel. If you spend all fuel, the mission will end prematurely, so you'll have to start over!

Machine Mind concept art - start of the game

Some sketches of a place we all already familiar with: pick up the mind module, craft a weapon, and embark on a search for a trouble...

Machine Mind concept art - biome of factories

More dangerous enemies, thick dirty air constantly damaging your vehicle, unfriendly look of the environment — the essence of Factories, new biome which was added in one of the recent playtests.

As you clear planets in Kickback Clicker, you'll encounter a variety of local life forms under your scope!

Each planet has its own set of unique creatures, along with some particularly notable species that can be found on all the worlds.

While Kickback Clicker is still under development, we'd like to share some progress, like a completely new upgrade menu!

It will feature a tree-like system which you can easily navigate between missions without any rush.

Machine Mind concept art - abandoned vehicles

They can be found scattered around the map, but their only use is getting some scrap metal

Does this one really need food?

Shirime sometimes visits the restaurant in The Way of the Tray. He's a good guy, but without a face, which doesn't stop him from eating well. Satisfying this perfectionist is not an easy task.

He takes of his children

Tsuchigumo is one of the restaurant guests in The Way of the Tray. An earth spider that lived long enough to become a yokai. He likes meat dishes with a large portion of soot. Try not to crush his kids, Susugumo, when working with his order!

A sumo master — well, an aspiring one…

Kappa is a frequent guest of the restaurant in The Way of the Tray. A kind of merman. It isn't difficult to satisfy him, but if you still fail to, you'll definitely miss some fish dishes on the tray.
