I applaud you for managing to finish this game in time for the jam - you must have been stressing SO HARD LMAO. Hope you get some good rest after - I hope you can still make it for the next jam! Maybe you could add a storefront where you can go to a shop that gives you food that helps your baby bombs poop out bigger poop for more money LMAO? Maybe you can have a store where you can give them electronics to help cure their boredom and give you perks, like faster poop or bigger trash can? However you want to improve on the game, you did a fantastic job submitting it on time! Good luck with the rest of your jam!

Haha, thanks so much. That "submitted 21 seconds before the deadline" notice is sort of a badge of honor, but it was tense! Expanding the game with a shop that allows those sorts of upgrades, and maybe even some automation, is a good idea. The project is such a tangled mess that I may need to rebuild it from the ground up, but I'm definitely planning on adding those features in the future.
Dude that 21 seconds is goated honestly. I don't think you necessarily need to build it from the ground up - it's a great game as is! I think you just need to refine a couple of things and adding them on top of the base game - I think you should give yourself a little more credit! Don't let this game jam get you down - now that you have a lot you learned, you know what you can do for next jam, which I hope you'll join. Keep going, goat.
