I like the story and the upgrade elements quite a bit! Art is solid and I was enjoying the music during the prologue but it went silent once the gameplay started. Would like a bit more variety to the gameplay - a crank take on a 'clicker' - but overall I enjoyed it!
Oh no! I hope the silence isn't a common issue, I'll be looking into that. Did you play on simulator or hardware? It's possible that I didn't raise the volume of the gameplay track as high as it needed to go. I realized that I was only testing with full volume on hardware because it was pretty bass heavy.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I'd love to add more variety to the game! This was my first Playdate game, and I massively underestimated the difficulty of the graph and accelerometer mechanics at the beginning of the jam. I had to compromise quite a bit, so I'm glad that it was still enjoyable, even if it was very basic.
Playing on hardware. It was normal (middle?) volume during intro then totally silent during gameplay.
I really enjoyed this. The story is great, and I like the art style.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Haha, that was great fun. You took a boring game concept, threw in a fun story and made an enjoyable game.

The music is funky!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
Really enjoyed the writing in this one
Thank you so much! I tried to take a step back from the gameplay on this one to really focus on the flavor text. I'm glad you liked it and thank you so much for playing!
Is that a Sims on handhelds reference I see? 0.0
In 2022?
Amazing! Bloody great!
You bet it is! Those games hold a special place in my heart.
Thanks for playing, I hope you had fun!
Absolutely did. Fun concept for a clicker game!
So glad see another person with a fondness for those games
