I enjoyed your game, It was very visual appealing to have all the upgrades on the loop, and some you can toggle on and off. You could expand this with getting to pick the order in which he does things. Could never seem to get him to avoid the bar. Congrats on submitting!

Love idle games so thank u for the casino

On the 600th day I found out that I don't have to go to the casino 😐.  The game is cool. It goes by quickly.  
By the way, I found a bug. The buttons change position (permanently) when you quickly press them.

Developer(+1)

XDDD or do you ? 🤔 hmmm. hahaa. Thank you for playing, yes the buttons start to run away if you click on it with no purchasing power, but maybe thats another feature of the game hm... life isnt always about speeding it up... hahahaha.. enjoy what you have and maybe dont put life on full slider mode XD

Very funny! And impressive for something made in so little time!

I dont know if it is a bug or a design choice but the speed up button just keep going right every time i bought it.

Either way i found it funny that he kind of escapes hahaha

Developer

Hahaha totally intentional design.. uh something like .. dont give your all for work and like the lesson is to not devote your life to speeding up your life XD

Poor Lou... Bro went from being the happiest man in the world, going to the library to read some books, exercise in the gym, earn some money, and hang out with his friends at the bar, to the saddest man ever as soon as bro gained his gambling addiction

Really cool idea for an idle game, and fits the theme very well, honestly just add a volume slider and it becomes a perfect game lol.

Hahahaha thank you thank you, i really do need to work on my sound design XD

I really really love the idea of the loop just being daily life!!! Plus felt like a weirdly good lesson on the downsides of gambling. Could totally see myself coming back to this and just putting it on in the background while working on another task, even if just to see if I can get that ticket to hell! :3

Developer

Hahahaha thank you for seeing the lesson in gambling, you could lose everything XD and life cannot be sped up that easily

A lot of strategy involved in such a simple daily loop, it was nice toggling the casino on and off because that caused some major headaches early on in my run. Thankfully I was able to get Lou's INT up so he's a smart guy now!

Developer

Thank you so much! Honestly, I wasn't expecting the strategy to be there, but the choosing to let rng decide your savings at the casino and making that brave choice to not go involves a lot of thinking XD.

I love the theme song :D

Thanks so much Hxydn ! I hope we can collaborate one day, I really enjoyed your game !
