Love the game! Though there is a soft lock issue that I ran into several times before I could safely progress in the game. If you do any of the task lists prior to the task showing up, like unboxing the arcade machine or getting the spray/wrench, then you can't compete the task when it shows up, which soft locks you. I think improving the UI or making it more obvious would be helpful there or having the task list be mandatory prior to getting free reign of the game.
I would've loved to have more influence on the ambience, like having a music machine where you can help choose the vibe of the arcade and being able to make money from the gumball machine.
Overall I really enjoyed the game! Excited to see this project grow if you choose to!

Thanks for the review!
I actually considered removing the tutorial altogether because I figured it would probably mislead players. The tutorial tasks are just there to be a guide, they don’t actually affect anything progression wise so you should be able to fully play the game regardless of the state of the tutorial.
And yeah this type of game needs a lot of customization options. We plan on developing the game further and customization is going to be a main focus.
Thanks again for playing!
