This game definitely takes a few tries to get into and really understand (I kept mistaking the left bar for spending money), but once it clicks it's rather fun! The game is definitely too difficult to want to keep playing with how short the payment window is (and probably just bad luck on my end), but overall the idea is executed pretty well and having to strategize what to do is very fulfilling. The theme is tied into this well, but it's somewhat annoying to work around.
Overall UI is very consistent and works well but I don't know if it's necessarily 2000s? I might have a bad sense on what the time period looks like, though, so I'm not going to fuss over it. The video is also rather funny and definitely helps ease into the stressful nature of the game, though the end is a little empty.
Great game!
