Excellent level of polish. Graphically, the game looks great.
The game play is very simplistic, perhaps turning it into some kind of management sim would help.

I went so deep, so deep, so deep, so deep that I cannot veliebe what I just played. It has good visuals and sounds, good gameplay and dificultty curve, it has great tutorial, gameplay delivery and an incredible user interface. The game is amazing, you could just prototype it. For me a clear candidate to 1st place.

Thanks for playing!
I understand that the core idea is minimalistic. In some ways it's similar to how idle games works, and some people just don't like that kind of games (I personally like them, but it doesn't matter).
In the future I wanna try to make something more complex and "deep". XD

Thanks for playing! \^-^/
My idea was that a certain point becomes easy to pass the levels because the player must be able to reach the end. Did you find it too easy to get to that point, or maybe did you prefer to have the chance to keep playing endlessly whith the difficult curve balanced accordingly?
I get the logic behind that, but at that point most levels take one or two clicks to beat. Obviously balancing isn't the main goal when developing on a tight schedule, and you nailed the main mechanic, but it would have been cool if the later levels involved the same level of strategy as the earlier levels.
