This is fantastic. It’s incredibly fun to slot everything together to lose the most money possible. And the social commentary is appreciated as well.

An amazing inversion of tycoon games. I love how reorganizing the calendar becomes this kind of adaptive and dynamic puzzle. The only improvements I can think of would be adjusting the spacing of the options, since some of the options come out a little too soon after the previous ones for them to be much use. And I would love it if you could leverage the puzzle aspect a bit more, maybe mandatory 'blocked-off' timeslots or ideas which lock in place and have to have each cell be completed fully before they can be replaced?

Only in a Roles Reversed gamejam can there be such a thing as a remorseful rich person, truly immersive 10/10

Simple and awesome. Played it all the way through without blinking. Great Job!!!

This makes me feel good for the world. I think it would be cool to see the lower-cost options sometimes boost in price so that you'd have to mix up your strategy, otherwise the best option is just to pack the highest paying one only, and all other options are rendered insignificant! The music was very great. 

Great idea and execution. As Leo says, love the underlying message, too.

Socialist propaganda the video game? Based.

I REALLY like this. If you haven't played "universal paperclips", go check that one out. The way you use mechanics to demonstrate the point that even if you dedicate your entire waking life to philanthropy, there's no way you can even make a dent in a Trillion dollars, is just fantastic game design.

Mechanically, I didn't see enough depth to keep me playing till the end, but I really hope the final unlock is like "Overthrow capitalism and then commit honorable sepuku"

I loved this so much more than I think I should have. Very clever incremental style gameplay while still illustrating the absurd amount of money some people have.


The jazzy themes went right alongside. Solid submission, well done.

Fun idea that fits the theme well. I like the realisation of this. 

Fun to spend money on helpful things (like buying the Tampa Bay Bucs over and over ;) )

The adding of new ideas after reaching spending goals keeps the game going nicely.

Well done.

Really good concept. I was expecting the game to be a bit more strategical and slow paced, but I still really liked it. There's a base here for a really interesting idle game here. The references were funny and I really liked all the art you did. Good job!
