Keep I.T. Alive - A coffee clicker about the worlds most turbulent tech company

You are the manager of a small (and slightly shady) I.T. department.
Hire new employees, discover 3 different endings and,
most importantly, make sure you don't run out of coffee!

Watch out for the laser-pitchforks!

Unfortunately, we didn't manage to finish the UI details on time,
so here are some hints to help you keep I.T. alive:

UPGRADES
- *Coffee Contract:* Never worry about restocking coffee beans again!
- *Neos Sunglasses:* Increase the confidence (and productivity!) of your devs! May result in them to getting more... lets say aggressive during riots
- *Wage Slavery:* Overtime for everyone! Sure, the employees won't be happy about that but you'll earn more money!

EMPLOYEES
- *Intern:* Underpaid barista. More coffee for the devs!
- *Devolper:* Can't survive without that sweet, sweet Bean Juice. Turns coffee into money!
- *Lawyer:* You better not plead innocent in a trial if you don't hire an attorney first!

Haha, fun idea! Indeed, you cannot live without coffee, so your interpretation is spot-on. A bit more instructions would have been helpful, but I really like the pixel art style! Nice work!

Figuring out what you have to do is kinda hard, but fun spin on the theme, haha.

Cool submission, i like how developers literally needs coffee to stay alive.
I would love for you to try our game, it also runs in web :D

Nice, that you come up with a different interpretation of the theme.

Funny idea, the game was enjoyable but a bit more information on how to play would be nice.

The flow of the game was a bit inexplicable.
However, I did feel the humor of the title in full force.

Nice theme twist, gameplay, well, it's like a clicker, overall visual execution is okay. But I liked how it says than you can buy coffee beans for 100 bitcoin, but in fact, you can do in with 50 :)

What are my 40 interns even doing when they can't supply enough coffee for 10 developers?

Clickers should be forbidden becuase they are so addicting! :D Nice game! Might add income of coffee and money next to a number.

Couldn't figure out how to earn Bitcoin. Funny game though. :)
