Really well done!

- Art is a perfect example of "low-art but good looking" game. Everything fits together and sells the mood. Floating numbers and rolling score counter are also spot on.

- I liked the music with increasing intensity + SFX were very pleasant to my ear.

- Narrative elements hooked me in. I really wanted to learn about the system. Little text prompts were selling the vibe perfectly, especially that all menu's and even game description are kept within the lore. Awesome job. One thing I did lack was like an 'ending'. I finished a couple of soft-resets (got all upgrades until I had over 300 points to spend in shop and I didn't want to click 300x on the Trust upgrade lol). So I was waiting for the explanation of what this system really is and it never came. But that's also understandable in a limited time we're given during a game jam.

- Game was also really polished. Another example of 'less is more'. The graph was a cherry on top (although the signal graph was a bit buggy in my case - it was running crazy fast)

- As far as game design goes:

• Kudos for making the prestige system and both: active and passive play styles viable (and even encouraged)
• Popup descriptions were very handy. It was good idea to add them. That being said I still don't know what the 'signal' is for
• I think I had a bug where I had to hard reset the system during my first try, because clicks were not generating anything. I also had trouble finding the "click" button
• My biggest complain (that may come from a personal preference - I'm not a seasoned idle player) is lack of a sense of progression. Maybe that's the con of making a minimalistic game? In principle the only thing that changed during my playthrough was the number in the middle (and pace at which it was changing). Nothing else was added - no more options in the system to explore, no story progression... I get the idea behind 'numbers go up' but in idle games I'm familiar with it is usually coupled with other visual elements (new buildings appear, there are more characters on screen, some processes are automated and happen faster or whatever). I missed the 'reason' for making the number larger and larger.

ThrstyMnd, the initial reaction I had to this when opening the game up was BAM. I love how it instantly sucked me right into it's world and then never proceeded to let up. Vibes were big on this and I definitely appreciate that kind of thing.

I haven't played a lot of idle/clickers, none at all really before this jam, so I'm not very familiar with genre norms. That said, it took me a little bit to find the 'Click' button. It didnt stand out from the rest of the screen.  

The scoring system wasn't necessarily intuitive to me. I did see the two things I was to be balancing (sorry Im forgetting the names now out of the game), but the rate at which they moved seemed off to me in comparison to one another? I eventually pushed the click many times past being in the red and although it seemed like it should be bad, I was still making money. I wouldnt have minded the punishments being more negative I guess.

I absolutely loved the text corresponding to the different numbers. One of my favorite elements from any of the jam games I've played. Little stuff like that is super memorable to me and I think you nailed the direction you wanted to go with that. 

The first time I opened the settings menu, I really loved it. Again, I thought that was perfect. As someone who's just starting out with this stuff I have a hard time balancing "awesomeness/ux", ya know?  I loved the menu loading like that, and I would love designing something like that, but then having to wait that long each time you want to adjust the volume is a little clunky on the user end so it's a design decision.

Overall cool dark glitchy vibes and im down with it.
