Jezerůvky - Idle Lake Campsite Game
Jezerůvky is a relaxing idle clicker game I developed that puts players in charge of managing a picturesque lakeside campsite. The game features a seasonal progression system where players navigate through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, each with its unique challenges and opportunities.
Game Features
Seasonal Gameplay
The game cycles through four distinct seasons, each affecting visitor rates and income:
- Spring: +20% income boost as visitors begin to arrive
- Summer: Peak season with maximum visitor potential
- Autumn: Beautiful scenery but fewer visitors
- Winter: The challenging off-season requiring strategic planning
Core Mechanics
- Visitor Management: Attract campers to your site and keep them happy
- Resource Collection: Gather coins from visitors to invest in improvements
- Upgrades System: Enhance your campsite with various facilities and attractions
- Idle Progression: The game continues to generate income even when you're not actively playing
Visual Design
The game features a clean, minimalist interface with a soothing blue color palette that evokes the tranquility of a lakeside setting. The UI is intuitive and user-friendly, making it accessible to players of all ages.
Development Process
Developing Jezerůvky was an exercise in balancing game mechanics to create an experience that's both engaging and relaxing. I wanted to create an idle game that didn't pressure players but still provided a sense of progression and achievement.
Key development challenges included:
- Creating a balanced economy that scales well throughout the game
- Implementing the seasonal system with appropriate difficulty curves
- Designing an interface that communicates all necessary information without overwhelming the player
Technical Implementation
The game is built using vanilla JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, with a focus on performance optimization to ensure smooth gameplay even on lower-end devices. The game state is saved locally, allowing players to return to their campsite exactly as they left it.
