Really like the idea and thought it was quite fun, though hard going at the start. Pretty good work for a week I reckon :)

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You need more followers to buy your products so that you can stop climate change.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself. The Earth asset was from the internet but everything else was made by me.

Nice game, fits the theme well. At first I didn't really understand how the game worked, but after restarting I managed to save the world! Well done!
It was a bit hard on the start , I thought it will be a fail but then it quickly started to drop and success. nice game.
Absolutely love the idea but, I little more work and it could be a solid strategy game. For example you could have the scientist have varying traits (speed of getting work done, reliability etc) the use their standard deviation as the overall performance of the company in each category
I’d say the game would benefit from making the rules more clear, e.g. how exactly scientists/ads and there levels affect the outcome. Fits the theme completely, though, nice job!
Super fun game. First play I failed, but learnt how to play. Second play Success! I saved the earth!
Only issue i found was it gets a bit laggy when there's a huge amount of followers. I'm running the game on my office computer which is not top-of-the-line-hardware exactly.
Except for that, really enjoyed playing your game. Congratulations!
Pretty fun, was nice to be able to win a game this jam! I think you really should credit where you got the Earth asset from though, not just say you got it from the internet.
It was pretty fun. really easy once I understood what to do. Well done!
It would be cool if you could check out my game too and give it a rating. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/925013
Cool game! It can get a little performance-heavy at the end though and I missed some visual/audio feedback. But it is a great experience overall, well done!
I really like this game! I like the small details you added like how the game starts to tint red the hotter the earth becomes. It was a short, enjoyable playthrough and I think it fit the theme very well.
Cool game, and I love the message.
Would be awesome to see some more visual feedback (the SFX was helpful). Also thought it was interesting that the view of the planet was another side of the game, and think it would be cool to expand more on that (as we ultimately spend all our time on the view of the room).
Thanks for sharing!!
Nice game. I would've liked to see more detail on what each person was doing to help lower the temp though or even how the different advertising affected your recruitment. I was able to succeed!
I got to the breaking point of earth right before the turnaround. Got so much support from my advertisements that I got severe framedrops. That's how you save the earth, people!
Really cool concept! Took me a while to realize that advertisement is important though :D
