Nice game.
1. At any point were you confused about what to do next or why something happened? If so, when?
The first time the store pops up there doesn't seem to be a clear hierarchy for the different elements. I think the money in particular should stand out more since it's the most important element.
2. Did the UI ever feel cluttered or hard to read, especially once things got chaotic?
No, I think it's pretty clear.
3. Did you understand what Buzzwords were and remember to play around them, or did you mostly ignore them?
I ignored them completely at first but only because I didn't realize how strong perks could be.
4. Did completing a Buzzword and choosing a Perk feel satisfying and impactful?
Sure, some of the perks are game-ending, but I managed to beat the game without them too. Then again, I might not have made it all the way to the end in the full version.
5. What was the most confusing or frustrating thing you ran into?
I don't remember anything particularly frustrating.
6. Did you find any bugs or crashes? If so what caused them?
I think the game stutters when the music track changes on the browser version.
Keep up the good work.
