The combo thing would benefit a lot from an audio cue, like matching the beat in the music or something.
Some upgrade node ended up being precisely underneath another so I could not interact with it. It branched off some lucky wheel node.
Investing into debt management seemed like a complete waste of time, since your income upgrades are far more powerful. It's not clear what makes the interest rate go up. No point to the debt twist ever became apparent to me.
In Chrome, the upgrade screen ended up lagging a lot, but actual gameplay was mostly fine.
after lucky strike 2/6 a branching upgrade is stuck behind higher money 2/10, cant click it.
Hate the combo clicking, on a weaker pc you get a lot of framedrop so you have to click with no cue, no idea if i'm landing the combos or not till about 3 seconds later.the skill tree is lagging a lot as well.
Overall fun and well made mechanics, but skilltree is a bit bland with no graphics and such.
The positive happy cheery chill music and the quickly growing dept is something so american i can't comprehend. It would be better off with a horror twist.
Went from earning 50k a day to 13k a day with no apparent reason. Reeealy can't land the lucky strikes as it starts spinning so late into its own timer.
I'm actually watching how the debt rises and i have no money for upgrades as well. I feel like i got scammed... xD
Was doing alright, cruise control. But game bugged and died. Maybe refreshing will fix it?
loved the game but can add something to the combo? when the pulse get faster is a lot harder to get it xD
In the final game, you'll be able to unlock a secret branch that offers a certain amount of automatic combo recovery when you miss a click.
The demo feels really good. Great work on the UI and music!
I enjoyed this demo. It was very satisfying and the music was really groovy. I'm excited to see what's next in the full game!
Thank you so much for your comment. The full version includes new music tracks, a more challenging version of the classic mode you played, and even an infinite mode without the pressure of debt, in addition to what I've already mentioned on the game's overview page.
