Really enjoyed this one! Very creative and satisfying getting to put more factories down :-)

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it

I liked it. It would probably be better if the start is a bit faster with more things rapidly growing to give a better sense of speed, but maybe that's just me being bad at the game! Ahah

Developer

Yeah, I also think that the beginning is a bit slow. The problem is that if I sped things up, the game's scope would probably make the whole incremental progression last only a couple of minutes.

I think the real issue is that, during the first few minutes (halfway through the game), not much happens on screen, which makes the game feel slower. I ran out of time before I could figure out (and implement) a good solution for that, though.

That is some crazy concept.... This game can break charts with some finetuning and polish. Good Work!!!

Thanks, i know the game had more potential, I just spent way too much time working on the core gameplay, and before I knew it, I only had about half a day left to polish everything else. So i ended up running out of time... The usual game jam experience.
