100% agree gentlemen, had no time to polish gameplay at all. Actually threw out my original idea 20 hours in (bad habits...)

I don't mind the 1bit aesthetic at all. I think it connects you to the kind of gameplay loop you'd put on my TI-83. 

But I do agree with just about everything else. I couldn't click fast enough to pay down my debt it was so fast, and the economic gameplay model doesn't work when no tenants want to move in.

There's a good concept in here --- the more you charge in rent should actually reduce the mobility of the tenants. So, essentially milk the tenant and move on as the best 'strategy' not worrying about the fact that you leave your tenants destitute.. a poignant social commentary of the land ownership in America.

I really like the background of this game. Playing as a greedy landlord makes me feel disgusting but I like money so I guess it's alright.
The presentation on this game leaves something to be desired. No music, no color, and small icons made it so that I was not engaged in the game. Everything seemed to happen so fast, and I had a bunch of tenents on screen that couldn't even move in because they weren't interested in the properties I had to offer. If there were a brief tutorial explaining how to navigate your menus, it would have saved me a lot of frustration figuring it out. Overall, I think that good presentation and game balance will fix this one.
