Fun twist on an idle game. I really like the rent mechanic, however losing can feel quite sudden. It was a joy talking to you in text chat during the Roundup Roundup!
Thanks! Yeah, I want to add some challenge since usual forgiving idle is meditative and too boring for short afterjam play experience.
It was a joy for me too. The Roundup Roundup was exactly sudden for me, i didn't see the announcement and discovered the translation 5 minutes before stream of my game. I've been using discord for texting only for several months and it appeared that i need to download the client and set up vpn connection in urge just to watch the stream. Maybe next time I will able join the vc.
Your game looks great but it is hard to understand what is going on. Please consider writing a tutorial.
You have several types of resources. Shells, laminaries and money. To keep the business running you need pay the the bills with shells.
The toll raises each month. So you need develop shells income.
You can build and upgrade constructions which produce one resource and consume another. To build and upgrade you need money So you need to develop bucks income.
You start with building and upgrading (click to the building, then click upgrade) farms in empty slots (squares with plus sign) to pay the rent. Then you need other resources to develop so you build other type of buildings.
The challenge is to find combination of buildings to handle resource streams in a balance at given time. Then change buildings when situation changes.
At least on the web version, time go by about 10 days per second
Are you sure you not changed speed in the game (spd: black button with digit at the mid-top of the screen)? I've tested in ff and brave. What browser do you use?
Ok, I tried again and figure out what I did wrong. It is a fun number go up simulator. I got a glitch, Bucks:NaN so I could upgrade anything, but I had already mostly beaten the game by that point.
Thanks! Yeah i didn't expect someone will play so far so didn't check what would happen after upgrading last level. There is no win ending done, so i guess Buck:NaN is a marker of winning the game. )
