I would 100% buy this game if it had more content and things to do, the game loop is so fun! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on any future updates. Congrats on 15th place, you guys made something really cool!
Thank you!! We've very keen to keep working on it. We'll keep updating the itch page in the coming weeks as there's lots of changes we want to test :)
Very cool game ! I'm very impressed to see how far you were able to go in 4 days, can't wait to see how the game is going to evolve if you want to continue developping it..
Thank you! The positive reception does make us really excited to keep working on it. We have a ton of ideas we want to explore. We've also ready been making a lot tweaks and will aim to push an update soon now that the jam is over
Incredible to get this much game done in just 4 days, great work.
Thank you! It was definitely a very hectic 4 days
That's so much content for a 4 days game jam, incredible work!
I've played to the "end" (buying all upgrades and getting through the first payment). The gameplay is solid, it has a lot of potential and I'm curious on what other ideas you may have in the future of this. Very, very well done.
Honestly, that means a lot to us, thanks so much for taking the time to play our entry and that's awesome that you enjoyed it as much as you did! Given that it's had a positive reception and we had a lot of fun putting this prototype together I think we'll definitely be expanding on the idea post-jam.
We'll probably keep this itch version updated as we test and try new things, so watch this space and thanks so much for your kind words again!

A phenomenal game packed with mechanics and a great loop for a game jam game.
That's incredibly sweet of you to say! Thanks so much for taking the time to play our entry and leave your feedback - It's really nice to know that it connected with you. Hoping to develop further after the Jam now, thank you!
It'd be really nice if you develop it further, the core loop is fun and addictive.
By far one of the most fun ones in the jam , I had a blast playing it end reaching to the end of the pre alpha
That's so kind of you to say! Thanks so much for taking the time to play our entry and we're thrilled that you enjoyed it so much!

So good. The ability to have workers on any action, including buying and selling, adds so much depth. This game kept me hooked for quite a while!
Thanks so much for playing! It took me a while to work that out too (I'm the artist, not the designer hahaha), but that was an inspired choice from our Programmer and we're really glad you enjoyed it!
Dam the amount of content the game has is crazy, W
Thank you!!!
What a phenomenal game! Wow. Was planning to try it for 5 mins and got stuck till the end! Feels so satisfying.
Thank you! I really appreciate that! It kind of felt like we added more content than we needed for a jam, but i'm glad you got to the end :)
Intresting, I quite enjoyed it
Quite satisfying and with lots of potential - it scratches an itch! It was confusing at first to lose so quickly, though! Well done!
Thank you for trying it! I think we will extend the time of that first day after the jam, it was probably a bit too quick :P
I do see the vision of repeated shorter runs serving as a tutorial. With a few tweaks, it will be golden! There's still a lot of QoL to appreciate.
You can almost feel the tiles in your hand ^^
The Quality of life is just amazing, and feel like the game as been well polished!
Thank you! it took a ton of tweaking. It felt like the gameplay loop was done in the first day and the rest of the time was just polish - still a lot more to do.
