Nice concept! I included it in my Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)

Your Mac build may need re-uploading; the .zip file is 178 bytes, and is completely empty when unzipped.

Also, if you're creating that Mac build from a Windows machine, the execute permission on the executable won't be correctly preserved, so unfortunately anyone who downloads it will have to run `chmod +x` on it if they are on the latest version of macOS or the app won't run no matter what. No great way to fix that without your own Mac to run the command and re-zip it from :(

Oh dang, thanks for letting me know. I'll try and fix that.

pretty game! love it

The text was VERY hard to read on the patterned background, I imagine it would pose an accessibility challenge to some users. The game itself was confusing- although, as that other guy said, fairly accurate to how real businesses go- and I didn't get very far. All that being said, the little ditty you had for the background music is delightful!

As far as bugs go- I bought five of them. Hope that helps.

oh and the exit game button doesn't work

Yeah I was not thinking with the yellow text. Would it be against jam rules to change text and background colors due to accessibility concerns. I am somewhat new to game jams.
