An addicting little simulator about ermm... running a business. Cool idea but I feel like the police meter goes up a bit fast and the attention meter generator upgrade didn't seem to be doing much? Also, was there a purpose for the textured tiles?

A little hard to understand how to play, after trying a few times managed to get somehow far but still didn't get it completely. Nice entry, a tutorial would help a lot

@noshiz : Thanks for playing! I struggled to balance the game. I asked a friend to test the game during the jam. He managed to accumulate 300k with an attention level that did not increase anymore. Based on this, I significantly reduced the amount of money earned ... maybe a little too much.
The textured tiles do not have any function. I wanted to break the monotony with a some Dirty basement feeling.

@pedro-miranda Thanks a lot for testing my game and your feedback. Noted for the tutorial. I thought that the UI explanation would be clear enough. Next time, I will create a small tutorial instead of a static UI description.

Nice game. It would be nice to know how the different ehhm goods influence the attention level and how much reducing attention generation actually helps.

Cool game. For what it's worth, I thought the UI description was enough, but I was not seeing the description for some of the options. (Loans, I think). Nice job overall though.

Neat little game, you definitely need a tooltip for the buttons though, I forgot immediately what everything did and just kind of pressed buttons randomly

Game was easy to understand. The police attention bar was a nice feature. Nice work.

I liked the concept of the game, but it's a little hard to understand. The board perhaps could have some area to plant or something like that.
and I missed the text for the UI. It took me a little time to figure out and remember what each button means.

@fizzpowmike1, @sharbelfs Thanks a lot for your feedback! When pausing the game (by pressing Escape), there is a button Help showing again the UI explanation. Would an indication of the existence of this possibility have helped you to better understand the game?

fun, I like the idea!

It's fun, but really stressful. I can't keep up with the police. I think I got kind of far, but it just got too hard.

Nice concept but it was a bit hard to get going with it. In the end it got super stressful :D

The concept is nice, however i found the execution a bit flawed. It is difficult to understand the objective of the game and how the mechanics work, i guess an ingame tutorial would help clear that out.

Anyway, its a nice approach to the theme, as you start broke, with nothing. Good job!
