LETSGOOO CAPITALISM TOOK OVER THE UNIVERSE

fun game lol i liked how different the minigames were.  also 48 hours is nuts lol.  i noticed on my computer (browser) the game was kind of 'freeze' every time you earned money, which was kind of jarring.  is this an intentional feature or a bug?

it must be a bug because it lasts too long and it does not happen when i combo. only after all text particles (which spell $3 or -$13) disappear, the game stutters when the first one reappears.

to fix this, instead of spawning and despawning the text particles completely, the text just gets changed to “$3” when earning money and to “” when the text should disappear. this way, the text particle does not despawn but it just becomes invisible, which is much more performance-friendly.

Awesome game, I really like the progression and the minigames are quite fun. Maybe the "scale up" images are a bit too low resolution, especially the ending one :D

nice game but I find the gameplay a little too grindy for my liking

If there was a humour category I'd rate this 10/5 stars lmfao. It actually was a pretty enjoyable game though, and I loved how in the first minigame if you push people up they just get hit by a car

I loved this game! It's creative and funny. One little gripe though: On the fishing ships minigame, it sometimes was a bit hard to recognize if a ship was bad or not. Maybe a red outline or something like that could help. Or maybe keep it this way for the added difficulty.

Who would have thought getting customers is this easy :p .. just shadily push them!

I really enjoyed this game, The fishing game was my favorite, it had a very satisfying mechanic... i wish it went on into endless mode instead of ending the game after scaling up the last time.

Really fun use of the theme! I had a lot of fun with all of the minigames and it was cool to see so many in one game! The only gripe I have is that the traffic minigame felt a bit boring when there was no exit lane and therefore nothing that I could do to advance. Overall I had a ton of fun playing and taking over the universe.

pushing people from the sidewalk into your store THATS CAPITALISM BABY

Joking aside this is fun, but also for some reason this makes me feel like I'm playing a game on an arcade machine (I mean this in a good way). I wish there were more upgrades. If you have the time I'd also appreciate if you took a looksy at my game!

 The interpretation of the theme is very creative! I am a very bad business man though. I liked pushing people it was fun, the cars were grate too

I agree with the rest of the comments, the interpretation of the theme is really creative. Great fun, I didn't encounter any issues while playing!

Great interpretation of the theme! A fun set of minigames, nicely paced to keep things moving :)

Not sure if it's affected anyone else, but I was having some issues with performance running the game on Firefox on Windows - every time an object was removed the game froze for around a second. Still managed to help capitalism take over the universe though!
