Shout out to RVA Game Jams for hosting this weekend. Special thanks to Will (@x01010111 ) and Momin (@foolmoron) for their helpful code tips.
Mmmm clicker games. Love 'em to death. Unfortunately, these puppies rise and fall on the ability to keep unlocking new things, and once you start getting employees, the game kind of breaks. Awesome entry, just needs some super expensive things that aren't upgrades! (Maybe super-powered employees qua different color dinos?)
@razavidn: Great suggestions. If I expand upon the game, I'd introduce floors of the office building, then buildings, then office parks, and so on for upgrading your $$$ exponentially.
Pretty sweet deal - some arbitrary goal would have been nice, just because I know you would've had a really funny scene where the hero one-ups his dad or something. I've been thinking about doing a clicker for some time, maybe you've finally convinced me to do so, Dear Friend! All I need is some start-up capital - please wire it to the following banc account number by expres cheque now!
I clicked so much that employees were $0 so I got 2k, and then I noticed my money freaking out! I kept wishing there were commas in the numbers because I felt dumb looking at big numbers and not knowing which one was bigger :P Anyway, the art is really really good, and you managed to make another really funny game!
Hello dear friend, this scamming-simulator is great! everything feels just right. The graphics are great, they remind me about the game "to build a better mousetrap". Every detail (email templates, employee curriculum, etc) is a big plus. Thousand separators or other kind of number representation (such as 200K, 2M, etc) would make the game so much enjoyable towards the end. Other than that, congratz on this awesome entry.
Haha. At first, I thought "Spam-sending clicker game, funny" and was not planning to go very far... but then I thought "well ok, maybe just let me make enough to hire one employee" aaaand then the compulsion-loop snagged me. Good job! :)
Very funny story. The gameplay needs some additional balancing, but it already makes quite fun :) Graphics and audio is great, I also love the different e-mail texts :D Is it possible to have 3 bosses like in the screenshot? I had all employers but hadn't see an option to get a new boss. Maybe I simply overlooked it or its an older sceenshot. Anyway nice game!
You know what they say, the first $50 is the hardest. Nice game! Must have been either really enjoyable or really frustrating to write all that bad engrish. :D

Just a heads up: employees seem to be making 10 bucks a second, not 1 as indicated on the status screen?
Was there something I could click to go back and show my dad how wrong he was?
@omaha: No, there's no ending.

Everyone else: BACK TO WORK!
