You are the boss of a large multi-national company, located in USA. You are the monster.

----

The Monster-meter show the opinion of you by the rich and the poor.

You'll need LÖVE to play the .love file (https://love2d.org/). Works on all platforms (win/mac/linux).
The source is in the .love file (open as a .zip).

This is my first LÖVE game, and there's quite a few bugs there, sorry about that. But it is possible to win and lose (hint: 100%). And I did't have time to add more proposals.

Are there more than 5 text boxes? Is there a goal? Do the percentages even matter? Who cares, this nice economy simulation is perfect for quick game while drving my limousine to my golden beer pool filled with playboy models.

Great Game but just a few text boxes but grat interpretation of the theme i liked it short but cool

This was alright. I kept getting the same message over and over again, but I know it was just the randomiser choosing it over and over again. I think if there was more of a goal the game and it's decisions it gives you would be more interesting. The theme is interpreted alright through this game.

This game is simply and it gives you a punch of reality. You have my 2 cents. Good job.

Not a bad game all and all. I noticed some of them being repeated multiple times for instance one of them was repeated 3 time in a row somehow.

It crashed with the following error:
main.lua:137:bad allocation

Traceback

I just choose randomly and win!
Anyway, it needs more choice variation maybe you can not only have 2 decisions but 3 or more.
I also notice a bug when choice instantiated. It's created more than once.

Funny and interesting game.

That was a fun little game. It seemed like I would get a bunch of textboxes popping up at once, and after the game ended I could click them through the "You Win" popup for even more points/salary.

I got negative salary. What does that mean? :[

Flaid11 Sep 2015, 02:16

I am a monster with a salary of $14,400,000. That's a lot.

Good game, simple and interesting! Only thing I can think of is a bit more variation in the scenarios but you can only do so much in a couple of days.

This game stares into the soul of man and offers challenging and deep moral choices that delve into the philosophical heart of capitalism, and what it means to live in a for-profit society. Would recommend.
