This is great! Very thematically relevant haha. It was challenging, but fun once you get the hang of it! Nice Work!
thank youuu!
Man, I play games to get away from this shit... Oh wait, the AAA industry. Never mind.
They might let you get away from this shit. I won't.
Flawless game. No notes. Amazing job.
Tried to min-max to get my rent as high as possible. Was able to get it to $101.
Would be interesting to see a highscore of total coins remaining at the end. Maybe couched as "your kids inherited x."
First of all... WOW! I don't think i ever saw that number on rent while playtesting... amazing hahaa. As for the stats, during the gamejam my brother was helping me with playtesting, and he kept telling me that i should add a few stats in the end "During your life you earned x degrees, You made x money, You payed rent x times", but i wasn't able to pull it off... I might add it post jam.
Man does this game hit close to home. This is a goddamn masterpiece. I can't say i enjoyed playing in the traditional sense of the word, but I'm so glad I did. Art!
Thanks bro i appreciate it fr!
Really cool game, I enjoyed it and like how you connected it to the theme
i'm glad you like itt
My life fr, except the baby, felt pressured the entire time bruh, very good and creative execution on the topic. Good job!!
thank youuu!
yeah i think i agree... maybe... idk... we'll see. Thank you either way!
Yeah… Great art and sound design and super “fun” to control but man.. it really do be like that uh
Thanks a lot! ....and, well, it does, doesn't it?
thank you amahmeha
appreciate it!
One of the best games of this jam, maybe even the best one. Fires on all cylinders. easily 5 stars on all categories !
thank you! it means a lot!
Great game! It gave me a head start on experiencing the horrors of the real world. 😂
I haven't yet experienced them fully myself either... we'll see (oh yeah and thank you for playing!)
I loved this one, I like how unlike most incremental style games there's no prospering, you just create two new workers in a world where the prices are significantly higher and die. Sound design was very good, visually it was very pretty, gameplay was very fun, all around was a nice little package.
Prosperity is a lie. But thank you fr, I appreciate it!
I beat capitalism, but at what cost 😔 really enjoyed this one! The gameplay was super clear yet challenging, artwork was great, and narrative was powerful. Amazing work.
i am super happy you liked it!
Best game in the jam for sure! its terrifying how true the game is. Well balanced difficulty with matching sounds. Also the artwork is exceptional. Keep up the good job! Kudos wheelheadd!!
thank youuuu!! love your pfp
This is definitely one of my favorite games of the jam thus far. The art is spectacular, the gameplay is the exact amount of chaotic (and well balanced!), the social commentary is on point, the sound design is stellar. Easy 5's across the board. This game ruled.
Thank youu!!! (though when it comes to balance it IS possible to break it -not a bug, just using the games mechanics- but if you succeed in doing so and you have practically limitless money by the end, then the ending just hits harder.... it's not a bug it is a feature hahaha)
This is my nightmare... Great game 10/10!!!
Seriously though, really well done! The art was cute, the sound effects were great, and it really was polished and juicy! Still made me a bit sad though
I'm glad you liked it! (and I'm kinda sorry it made you sad)
This game says a lot about society.
unfortunatelly...
Really loved the game and the rush that it gave me also the sound and art are great, to sum up really good reailty show
i appreciate it a lot!!
I dont know what this jam slash theme did but there are a bunch of political satires I this one is up there.
don't know if it's the theme or the overall climate, but thank you either way!
Depressing! But very real and very well done.
appreciate it!
