How does you game fit the theme?
The game is based around operating a scam company, creating and advertising products, with promises that are obviously not real
Probably should have put that out in the game a bit more, but eh
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code, and designed the art, the music came from openGameArt.org
God help me

A short and sweet game! The pixel art is amazing, and the buying descriptions is funny. The game is a simple clicker game, which makes it a bit simple. Other than that, great game!
Really nice game. I love the pixel art, you're a really good artist!
I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^
I think the idea of running a scam company is really funny! I like that it's an incremental game and I enjoyed hiring underlings to do your bidding. But the mechanics really are just way too simple--you really can just walk from one desk to the next all the way through. I want to see more possible actions to create some variety, and I'd really like more jokes and references to actual scams! So maybe, eg, when you hire someone you can assign them to pretend to be a Nigerian millionaire, or to sell people extended car warranties, and how much money each scam earns depends on various factors.
Wow that was a fun yet short game. But, the Unity files/source code comes with the game and makes it bigger so it might be hard for some people to download it faster.
Sick game, I love the art and sound effects. Sorry to hear about how you start with a lot of money though. Also, when downloading, I feel like you download a lot of stuff that you don't really need so it takes a while, and it would be nice to full screen when playing. Really cool game overall.
(The moon isn't real ._.)
It's not true that the moon is not real.
A big rat just swooped by and ate it.
The idea is cool!
Oof. Few mistakes were made, some of which kind of cut into your own effort. Don't forget to playtest your built game next time before submitting.
Other than that, it was mostly a button mash and waiting game, not really mesmerizing. Thankfully the ending was pretty funny, which made up for a lot of it.
Great concept. Would loved to have more gameplay to it!
Pretty nice game, but note that usually you only include the build in the download files for a game. Also you should have given the player less money to start with, cause you can finish the game in like 2 mins
yeah, the whole money thing wasn´t supposed to be part of the game, I set it to 60,000 for debugging purposes, but forgot to set it back to 0 before making the final build of the game, and only realized it shortly after the submission and grace periods were over lol
Not the game I was promised, I want my money back.
...
Jokes aside, and ignoring the money problem, I think it's a pretty cute game that finally allows me to fulfill my childhood fantasy of causing financial ruin to innocent people. The visual style is nice and the music is chill, but the gameplay is honestly a bit basic, even for an idle game.
P.S. if you're wondering why the moon is missing, it got eaten by a space rat (who is also a scammer).
For some reason, when I downloaded the game it gave me the project files instead of the built version. I changed the money back to zero, then built it and played it all the way through. It was very simple and not very challenging but still very fun! The art/animations are really good and everything works nicely. I especially liked the surprise ending.
Enjoyed shilling out promises that aren't real. GJ.
Great game! Too bad about the bug, however it is an enjoable game if you dont use that money.
Keep going with the good work! If you can try my game and told me you thoughts I would be very greatful :))
Again, too bad about the money mistake. It's hard to judge the game as is.
Still 10/10 for not being one of those sheeples who believe the moon is real
Its really too bad about the money bug cause i was looking forward to playing it, still very good though! Super satisfying and fun design!
Great game, well made, love audio and graphics
Very fun, i did haha at end
So, as it turns out, last night I was pretty tired, and accidentally sent in a build that I made for debugging
I patched out the whole $ 60,000 thing, but I guess I just forgot to replace it on itch or something (It was like 12 in the morning and I was tired as heck).
i'll just fix that once the voting period ends, or if I somehow manage to find a way to swap out the version that is on itch
Why did I start with 60,000 $ from the start of the game? Did you forget to turn off God mode?
