My favorite gameplay this game so far, full stop. I think this is already worth a play, but I would love to see it worked on post-jam. There's a lot of potential here. Few things I'd mention
The main menu probably needs support for Enter as OK, or a visual showing *what* interact is. I spent a minute fumbling about trying to figure out what button OK was.
Balance was pretty whack, but most other comments have already mentioned it. Time is insanely powerful as a resource and so is the Tougher Times equivalent.
All in all though, call me.
