Funny take on the count down theme. The game looks great! I really like the fighter's animations and the juice feels good.

I LOVE THIS GAME. I hope you decide to add more upgrades after the jam because it is better then cookie clicker. One thing though is the chrono whistle is a bit annoying I dont really understand the benefit because it nulls the effects of the previous upgrades (excluding the more money one) but really fun none the less

Was really fun, I enjoyed the game feel of when he counted up very satisfying! My biggest payout was 5.29 billion and I retired in the 5th round!

I must have been counting with my toes there at the end. I didn't understand why the chrono upgrade was useful but it seemed to make the numbers bigger

In the end I had to hang up the bowtie, but legend has it I once counted to seventeen. 

Fun twist on clickers. I will say I was confused about how once upgrade slowed the count but once quickened the time between counts, I was confused why I would want both of these. The audio was also a bit crunchy.

Nice jammin

unexpected mechanic twist, pleasant implementation. The only thing — because the counters slow down with upgrades, it feels somehow unexpected and rather disappointing. Usually you want them to speed up and, through that, give more currency
