Fun little game! I enjoyed how much it purposefully puts you in the headspace of prioritising money at all costs, and how immediately you kind of stop paying attention to the titles of the upgrades, because more number = good

I loved the upgrade options, it made me want to keep going on the game and discover what will be coming next. Also, the UI and the aesthetic of the game were great.
great message, effectively communicated! i especially loved (hated) all the upgrade options haha
i really loved the ticker at the bottom but it was a bit hard to catch all of it – let me know if you ever post a full log anywhere!
Thanks for the comments! I have published an article about the game on my blog and included the news ticker and upgrade messages. https://www.binarymoon.co.uk/writing/prime-time-anti-capitalist-game-jam-entry/
incredible!! thank you for the link :)
I really enjoyed this one. I enjoy a good idle game and this one had a good UI that was simple to use - I was able to get it without even reading the instructions. I just dove in and everything worked well. The music was kind of "innocuous" or harmless and that helped set up the shock to come later.
Which was, after a while of playing I had to stop and my eyes went wide at the "Upgrades" that I could buy and how they just progressively became more and more outrageous. I was also struck by the fact that I'd chosen so many of them, and how bad that was, but also that with patience I wouldn't have had to do that at all. It's an idle game, all I had to do was sit back and let money accumulate in the window and eventually I'd get to Bozo's great space adventure (It's fine, he can go if he wants lol) without doing horrible things. And it strikes me too...how hollow it was. An idle game was perfect to illustrate the point of just earning without ever being able to enjoy it in a meaningful way.
I was so impressed by what you did here. Good work!
