this is really cute and lightly scratches a sim itch i didn't realize i had. there's hecka lot of potential here, i hope you keep working on it! also i thought the critters were little mole guys, i hope that's helpful somehow. maybe because of the low lighting, made it feel kinda underground
i did have a problem where they all threw a party in the starting area, and i realized they're probably all trying to get to a point where they can teleport out but they're too busy moshing to do it. i see now that i'm not the only one, haha. that basically ended the game though, since i could never get more money :(
also the first thing i tried to do was build a loop, but the last room only connected to one of the adjacent hallways, so there was just a closed door stuck permanently in the other hallway?
