I did it. I crawled from the ashes of defeat to the roses of successful vomit production, and made a cool 1.3 mil. Game successfully made me invested--nay offended!--when my vomit production costs went up. Truly, war is hell. Funniest exchange had to be the bit about the finger.

Incidentally, my labour budget was $0 throughout. I wasn't sure how, or if, it was possible to hire any regular employees?

This game rules. The writing is perfect. I almost made something of myself...maybe I'll try again, but it's a tough biz.

Actually managed to beat this game on my first try, somehow! Made a hefty sum of two million+ dollars (if only becoming rich in real life was this easy.). The little bits of dialogue you get each quarter are hilarious, and easily the highlight of this game. Management sim mechanics are a bit finicky but figured it out in the end, mostly by tweaking the formula, varieties, gallons sold, and price per gallon. It's cool how the background events tell a story where you can feel the economic impact. Was pretty concerned about the last few quarters, not gonna lie, but I made it out okay.

It's so hard!!! xD

I lasted just a year...
