Great gameplay loop. I just wish the upgrades were balanced a bit better - I was determined to reach the end and did end up winning the game, but toward the end it was very repetitive. Some more upgrade types, different balancing, possibly some nicer UI, and it could be a really solid title! :)
thanks for your feedback! I'm very pleased that someone likes my game
The gameplayloop was fun, you could elevate the entry byworking a bit on your UI and making it fit the overall tone of the game :)

That was a surprisingly enjoyable game. even though the loop was repetitive, I kept wanting to push further. I made it to the end and lit the thing, but nothing happened. Was there supposed to be an end screen?
Also, on the "store" screen it was a little confusing that you used a "-" as a spacer between "You Have" and your dollar amount. At first I thought I had negative money. Since I didn't know how much the coins were worth. I figured it out, but maybe use a ":" or just a space.
Fun game though. Nice work. I like the idea of looping the same course and buying more time. Fun concept.

the problem with "-" turned out to be quite common. So if you ever see more of my games, most likely I will not use "-" as a dash symbol there. from your comment it seemed to me that you did not complete the game, there you need to activate 4 lamps and if you win, a screen will appear saying you won
Ahhh... 4 lamps. I just did the first one and I was like... I think something should be happening.
Thanks for the game. I might give it another go after I review some more games.

I will say I enjoyed the game loop for a bit until it felt like just trying to farm the same route to get the most money to upgrade instead of rewarding me for pushing further, however I did enjoy it overall.
Thanks for your feedback!
Goood game, it's fun to explore further and further :D I wish that there would be some indicator on "how many seconds left"

Thank you!!
very fun. played the whole thing
I had fun with this game, didn't finish it tho. The character also looks nice.
I think increasing the time gained would help, it became a bit repetitve farming coins for upgrades.
Also having "-" before the numbers is a bit confusing, I thought I had negative money from losing at the start.
why is my time always -3 seconds? also even after the tutorial the goal is not clear, is it just upgrade candle or something else?
I don't know about -3 seconds. but the goal is to light all the lights on the map, just upgrade, run around the map and in the end you will win the game
