I'm a simple person. I see number go up, I happy. I wasn't clear which attributes were impacting different parameters though. There were moments where I had no people spawning in at all. The camera pan also seemed quite random. It would pan left sporadically and there would be a crap ton of people over there to farm. There was also a minor glitch where the camera got stuck in one spot but was having a seizure. The UI was also somewhat hard to navigate as there wasn't any feedback. I also had to "dodge" the other upgrades in order to click the add button and it wasn't clear which ones I had already bought.
I liked the idea though about choosing your specific ideology. It was definitely fun seeing the amount of people spawning in explode (and with no lag). Would have loved to see the actors spreading the gospel on the screen. Really cool idle/cookie clicker type game.
