What do you think?

Quitting your job to go full time gamedev is a scary and complicated decision for most indies because it's one of those gambles that will hit you very hard in the face if you fail.

As an indie gamedev wannabe I am fascinated but also a bit intimidated by this game. I know it's silly, but since this topic is so relatable to me, I don't want to have to think about making those decisions or coping with that situation until i'm ready to tackle it irl. The gloomy gray screenies of absolute poverty don't help either haha.

Is this game inspired by your experiences as an indie dev yourself?

Great game for just 1 dollar
Graphics - 8/10 could use more animations
Gameplay - 7/10 the gameplay is great it would be higher if you added a separate mode that was like a sandbox type mode I can see it working well into the game but I also like the fresh fast pace clicker very fun
fun - 8/10 it is very fun but I don't see my self-playing it for hours on end its more of a once in a while open up play a few rounds see how far you can get and put away
audio 10/10 - love the soundtrack and the sounds

overall i rate 8/10 or a 4/5 same rating just changed it because that's what i rated the game 4/5 on game jolt
Great game would love to see more.

excelente!

This was very satisfying to play! Was a quick game, could complete it in what felt like a couple minutes. I had to play a couple times before I got a high score. I would say there is replay value as well.

darn it looks good but im only a kid with no cash );
