How does your game fit the theme?
In this game, one tick equals one day—you will watch every single day pass by with your own eyes. Once you grind your way to a monthly salary, a tick becomes a month; once you can afford time acceleration, a whole lifetime flashes by in just a few minutes. You have 82 years to get rich. The market shifts every three months, selling a house after holding it for three years saves you 25% in taxes, and the bank is always ready to lend you 36 months' worth of your salary.

Very nice life/finance simulator game. A little bit panic inducing irl lol. Very cool take on the theme!
I had trouble learning what this is for a bit, though I got a hang of it eventually. Might need a tutorial, or a learning curve.
On the other hand, I liked the idea that "life doesn't stop for anyone", and you learn in the time given to you :D
Concept is good, but I would have given some narrative or indications before the game started so that you understand how the game works, also btw you should fix the resolution. But other than that well done!
I think I spent way too much time on this. But it was a super enjoyable experiance. Loved it.
Very unique twist on an idle game and cool interpretation of the theme!
Nice economy system and management game, enjoyed it!
Thank you for your feedback :)
Awesome concept and a nice twist on idlers, I appreciate how you've made it similar to modern financial apps and gave it reasonable variances month on month. I think it would benefit from having a tutorial to explain the mechanisms and the goals (although I know you have an explanation on your game page), lil popup tooltips would be really beneficial in a technical/calculatey game such as this. Really good job developing this in just 4 days, well done!
Thanks! Confession time: I used RNG as a shortcut to avoid writing complex code, and the UI is basically unfinished. Glad you enjoyed it anyway :)
