How does your game fit the theme?
You create startups and sell them, thus you "just get started" with each business.

I was initially put off by the visuals, but I very quickly became hooked by the gameplay here. The exploration of trying to figure out what aspects to invest in for each type of business seemed very engaging. However, the fact that the business creation menu doesn't pause the income, in combination with just how quickly a run can just end with a few missed notifications or a few quick mistakes, really dissuaded experimentation. Since there's no real benefit to diversifying your businesses, it quickly became apparent that it was much easier and safer to just keep making the same type of business over and over until you win, even after unlocking the larger sized businesses. That said, there are the bones of an addictive and strategic tycoon game here. Keep up the good work!
