This game has a lot of potential! Unfortunately progression is far too slow to be enjoyable, it took me a long time (upwards of an hour I think) to "max out" (have two god gears, blowtorch ++, and an extreme gear), and I spent most of it babying the extreme gear. Some intermediate "global upgrades", such as increasing overall money gain rate or reducing the deterioration rate of gears, would go a long way to helping things. Other ideas such as a bit of automation would help too, but I understand would be a bit much for a game jam. Keep up the good work!
