Storm Grill

Purple droplets (previously red) are dangerous - they deal significant damage based on your max HP when you click to destroy them. They're meant to be avoided, not destroyed. In Storm Grill, there's an upgrade path that reduces their spawn chance, and at maximum level, they won't appear at all.

Storm Grill has limited mobile browser support. The upgrade purchase interface doesn't work properly on Android browsers. The game is primarily designed for desktop platforms. For the best experience, play on a PC or laptop.

The purple droplet reduction upgrade has a significant effect difference between level 8 and level 9. At level 9, purple droplets are completely eliminated. Lower levels reduce spawn rate, but many players report that levels 1-8 don't show a noticeable difference, with only level 9 providing the full benefit.

To beat Storm Grill, you need to survive until the storm passes. Focus on upgrading your skills strategically - many players recommend maxing out regeneration and money-per-damage stats. The purple droplet reduction upgrade at max level is crucial. Even with all upgrades maxed, you may still need to actively play and avoid purple droplets, especially near the end.

Early game: actively click droplets to earn coins. Late game: some players find that with certain upgrades, you can earn more coins by just taking damage passively than by actively playing. However, actively playing is still important for avoiding purple droplets and managing the storm intensity in Storm Grill. Focus on upgrades that increase coins per damage taken and regeneration.

Storm Grill is not optimized for mobile devices. While it may run in mobile browsers, you won't be able to purchase upgrades, and the controls are designed for mouse input. The game works best on desktop platforms (Windows, Linux) or in desktop browsers.

Left Click: Interact with GUI and destroy droplets. Right Click: Refund purchased upgrades. Escape or P: Pause the game. Additional controls unlock through skill upgrades. Storm Grill also supports difficulty settings, bloom effects, and volume controls in the options menu.

No, Storm Grill has a definitive ending. Once you survive the entire storm, the game ends. Many players have requested an endless mode, but it's not currently available. The game was created for a game jam, so it has a clear beginning and end.

This is a game mechanic that some players find frustrating for coin farming. Big droplets take up more space and reduce the total droplet count, which can make it harder to earn coins. This is an intentional design choice in Storm Grill to balance the game's difficulty.

Difficulty settings affect the game's challenge level. Some players use a strategy of buying upgrades on easy mode, then switching to hard mode to sell them back, and repeating. However, many players feel the difficulty setting feels like a gimmick and doesn't significantly change the core experience.

Storm Grill received a color blindness patch (v0.8.4r) to help colorblind players distinguish purple droplets. However, some colorblind players still report difficulty seeing purple droplets. The game developers are aware of this issue and continue to work on accessibility improvements for Storm Grill.

There's a rare bug where the gold ring can move very slowly or stop moving entirely. This is a known issue. If you encounter this, try refreshing the game or restarting your run.

Storm Grill was created by SametHope (developer) and Fatih Anıl Yıldırım (audio artist) for the Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2. The game was inspired by Nodebuster, another incremental game you might enjoy if you like Storm Grill.
