Hey hey! Thank you for playing!
Yes, we ultimately did not want the game to end up being too hard or too punishing. Originally, we wanted the player to only be able to spend the amount of budget they had without overdraft, but we removed that restriction to make it easier. So, if you want to experience a harder difficulty, we recommend sticking to the initial given budget :)
There is yet a lot of balancing to do, we just were not able to allocate more time for it in the end. But we are looking forward to update the game after the jam!
