- Spam "Buy jeeps"
- When you realize they don't cut it anymore, start stocking up on vans
- When you reach the unit limit, realize you have to throw away your vans to make room for trucks
- Gaze upon the cost of gold and diamond mines, wondering if you'll ever be able to afford them..
- Afford them
- Fill the whole map
- Wonder if it's really that simple to trick your brain into watching increasing numbers
- Post a comment about the lack of balance in the late-game
- Realize you probably should have seen it coming
- Hide your newfound passion for the game,  of which you're ashamed
- Secretly fork the game, with improved graphics, and more gameplay elements
- Sell it
- Get sued
- Settle on giving me 10% of the profits
- Use the rest to fund the game you've always wanted to make

What are you waiting for???

How to play
-----------

Using the road tool (from the palette on the right), draw a road from the city (tall building) to the copper mine. Then buy jeeps (tiny green thing from the palette) and drop them on the road.

Watch the money go up & buy more stuff.

There is something soothing about watching the cars drive back and forth haha Once I figured out what was happening I started to enjoy the game. Maybe give the player a starting road path so they get the flow of things? Neat idea tho!

This sounds mean, I know, but you said it in the description already. This game was *surprisingly* boring given the screenshot. The mspaint art style looked charming and the idea of building a supply chain with trucks is interesting but then it's like an idle game that scales really fast.

I think it's missing more intricate traffic simulation or more different resources or some kind of resource gathering interactivity.

Still fun for a minute, but the design doesn't gel quite yet.
