this is really cute and lightly scratches a sim itch i didn't realize i had.  there's hecka lot of potential here, i hope you keep working on it!  also i thought the critters were little mole guys, i hope that's helpful somehow.  maybe because of the low lighting, made it feel kinda underground

i did have a problem where they all threw a party in the starting area, and i realized they're probably all trying to get to a point where they can teleport out but they're too busy moshing to do it.  i see now that i'm not the only one, haha.  that basically ended the game though, since i could never get more money  :(

also the first thing i tried to do was build a loop, but the last room only connected to one of the adjacent hallways, so there was just a closed door stuck permanently in the other hallway?
