although I was terrible, I had a great time and I felt the pressure that a boss of a successful multinational can feel!
Haha, that's the spirit ! Glad you had fun being exploited.
And worry not, you're NEVER good enough when it comes to productivity :D
great game. Fun to play, 15 minutes is also a great duration for a clicker. cute pixel art, fun mechanics and overall well designed.
I really enjoyed playing this! My only minor critique is that the burnout punishment from the pressure mechanic is pretty light; I found that ignoring pressure completely and putting all my money into work and income worked the best. Having no workers for just 10ish seconds isn't a big deal when the time limit is 15 minutes. Also, an upgrade to the manual clicking would have been nice, as once you get to a certain point, getting $1 and 1 work per click when you're already getting thousands of each per second is pretty much useless. But the game looks really good and is fun to play! I appreciate the tutorial too; not many jam games have tutorials.
Hey,
Thanks for your comment ! :)
That is absolutely the best strategy at the moment unfortunately (taking pressure & maximizing income and work) :P I agree the burnout does not make too much of a difference. Maybe it's not punishing enough on a 15mn duration.
Yes, I should have added some upgrade to raise the click value increasingly, but I didn't by fear of breaking the already-unstable balance of the game :|
Anyways, I'm glad you had fun playing it, hearing that makes it totally worth it to have spent 2 full weeks on this :D
