I got this game by accepting a Curator Connect offer at Achievements Events group and decided to write this review to help the game release trading cards in future since developer mentioned in an announcement where the game requires a large number of reviews (250-300) to add cards to the game.
New Year Clicker is a simple clicker game in the New Year's theme. Although in this game there is nothing revolutionary, it is able to entertain you for 10-30 minutes. The game requires clicking on the gingerbread man for which you will get gifts that you could spend for buying upgrades and gift boxes (altogether 5 each of them).
Of the features, I would like to note easy achievements, for which you must press all the keys on the keyboard namely every letter and number key and specialty keys as Alt, Shift and Tab (and combinations with them). The images of these achievements are also perfect for creating a profile design during the winter holidays.
Of the minuses, it should be noted the game has extremely slow scrolling of the menu, as well as the inability to save the progress of the game upon exiting the game.
Я получил эту игру, приняв одно из предложений Curator Connect в группе Achievements Events group и решил написать рецензию в надежде увидеть в будущем коллекционные карточки для этой игры, разработчик которой сообщил о необходимости довольно большого количества рецензий для выпуска коллекционных карточек.
New Year Clicker представляет собой довольно простой кликер в новогодней тематике. Хоть в этой игре и нет ничего революционного, но она способна занять на 10-30 минут. Игра предполагает нажатие мышкой на пряничного человечка, за что вы будете получать монеты (подарки), которые можно потратить на покупку улучшений и подарков (каждых по 5 штук).
Из особенностей хотелось бы отметить простые достижения, для получения которых необходимо нажать все клавиши на клавиатуре, включая клавиши с буквами цифрами и специальные (Alt, Shift, Esc), включая комбинации с ними. Изображения этих достижений отлично подойдут для оформления профиля в период зимних праздников.
Из минусов следует отметить крайне медленную прокрутку меню, а также невозможность сохранения прогресса игры после выхода из игры.

When you open this game, you'll be doomed.
Like when you pick up in those old RPGs the Cursed Mail or something like that, and it would stick on your character even if he dies and gets revived and so on, and you need some sort of priest in order to take the curse off.
Well, Unity engine, same as usual. A clicker game, the same achievement spam thing, you could expect.. but this is even worse.
My first laugh always comes when I run through the Unity menu of such games.. there are -six- graphics quality settings, from fastest to fantastic, and they're all the same. Really, the game's basically made up by three MS Paint backgrounds so.. how can you change quality?
But then.. you go into it. And you're presented with a gingerbread man. I think that's the English name. And an extremely loud instrumental version of "Jingle Bells" pops up.
You rush searching for buttons, before turning entirely off your PC's headphones or whatever (I play with a gaming laptop so well, it's just a button, but anyways). No.
You will listen to Jingle Bells or better, Jingle Bells' 20-seconds refrain, through all the game. You put it in tray but NO, it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ runs in tray too.
Then, you finally find that in the upper left corner there are two small intertwined candy canes, those sticks you know, those made of wood that your grandpa uses.. well, if you click on them, you'll have the chance to turn off music and effects. I still have to understand what a candy cane without any hint (a cog, some letters, a symbol, I don't know) is supposed to represent the settings category.
So, you're there: a gingerbread man which needs to be clicked on, a counter in the upper side of the screen and a box in the upper right one. Clicking on the box will make 1- the music turn EVEN LOUDER for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason and 2- appear a completely useless menu made up by gift boxes and gift upgrades.
Buying them with coins made by clicking in the main screen will on one side produce x gifts per second, on the other side make "sweet yellow gifts" more worthy and similar things.
Clicking on the man will get you to a maximum, and you'll have to click on "more gifts" in order to open another window that will for instance put you as 0/20 (0 clicks of course.. or gifts.. whatever), 0/160, 0/320.. you got it.
The counter actually does NOT specify that for example 600/640 means that you can spend 600$ in the upper right menu so that you have to figure everything out by yourself.
You'll eventually buy some upgrades and start getting dizzy, since the background is slowly rotating counterclockwise and even clockwise for some parts and here comes the other awesome thing, I mean, do you remember the Pokémon thing that made all the epylepsy attacks.. ok.. you'll start to vomit and feel nausea and such and I don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know why am I even spending here my night after fighting with my girlfriend who of course is the most beautiful girl on Earth but man why.
Let's get to the other awesome things this game has to offer us.
Achievements - it's not a real achievement spam game. There are like 80 achievements and they unlock randomly, I mean, some of them unlocked when I closed the game and the other ones unlock by clicking every single key on your keyboard, so you don't need basically to do anything in the game itself.. and you won't get 5000 achievements.
DLCs - yes, there is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 1€ DLC - no joke. Which will include:
"Cute creative Christmas and New Year pixel-arts to maintain a magical atmosphere on your computer!
Special pixel images are prepared by the author of the game especially for you.
The following works will be presented: Deer Affairs, Santa's Secret, a good bad evil child, how to get parents for the new year and much more."
I don't think I have to add something to the self-explanatory thing here above.. I mean, I'm already feeling dizzy, bad, I want to beat everyone up (edited, just joking don't report me).
Then again, you'll see that four months ago, in the end of 2017, the developers wrote that the trading cards will be added as soon as possible, when the game will have reviews, sales and such. Of course, you'll never see trading cards in this game, there are zero cards in the end of March, 2018 and there will be zero cards the next year.
So, in the end?
It's not even a clicker game. All the achievements are unlocked by pressing keyboard keys. And if you keep on clicking and exploring the game, you'll just be able to buy upgrades that will give you more useless points/gifts and nothing else. And you will get dizzy thanks to the rotating background (and the music).
I would love not to see these games (asset flips and so on) removed, since I put tons of hours of my time to write awesome reviews (not a great humorist here I know I know).. but seriously.
This is one of the worst games I ever saw in my entire life, considering its price, its purposes, how's realized, everything. There are shovelwares that are ten times better than this thing. Like the achievement spam games that grant you 5000 achievements upon idling for three hours. They're less annoying, better designed and funnier.
So if you happen to buy this game and you're from a country like the States or Asian countries or other nations in which I'd love to live (not joking at all), pull your rifle out and exterminate this thing from the planet by shooting at your PC with this game installed on.
It'd be awesome.
And you'll save your left index finger too. Not a bad deal.
Now run away!!!
