You are a super shiy person that took too many days off work and was sent to Hell. There is a way out though! Through some good old fashioned hard work and capitalism, there is hope to climb your way out Hell! Get summoned by humans to complete tasks. Satan gets paid, but you get the tip! The faster you complete the tasks the higher your tip will be(maybe)! Once you save up enough money, you will be able to pay your debts and escape Hell (also maybe, depending on inflation).

I spent way to much time playing this game. It was very fun. I bought max speed and then had to restart because i was way to fast. I also didnt save my win stats was like 29 summons and 600ish seconds.

@morepixels That's so awesome to hear, thank you! Happy you enjoyed and got to experience the consequences of max speed. :)

Fun and cute game. The awkwardness of your summoners realizing you want a tip is hilarious as well.

Only suggestion would be speeding up the transition back to the store/job list.

Everything about this game is hilarious. Even if the game play is a bit bland, I REALLY wanted to get rid of those debts! XD

@vessalius Yes! Transitions back to hell could be sped up across the board, and/or offered as an upgrade to buy. Thanks for the suggestion!

that is, there will also be BTC in hell.
Needs to be saved for the future.

I think a few more varieties in the mini-games would also help.

I did like the ramp, numbers go up makes me feel good!

@eonarheim Good call on the extra mini-games. It will be fun to expand on that.

I love getting paid millions of BTC to find a TV remote. Addicting and fun! The number progression kept me hooked till the end.

Wow, there's just so much to like about this game!

-The overall concept is delightful and such a great use of the theme.

-The music, my god the music. Had to hear the two tracks on repeat a hundred times and never got tired of them.

-The art is fantastic.

-Having the timer in there and the overall construction of the menus is just super smart.

-The gameplay loop is so addictive. We *will* escape hell through capitalism!

-The BUY MAX button is a huge QOL upgrade.

As far as "constructive criticism" goes, since I like to be useful:

-I'd like to see more variety across the board. A few more character portraits, a lot more dialogue in the "oh, you want a tip?" spot - I'm a fan of keeping that fresh, as you saw in my game. :sweat_smile: And of course the big one, having more mini-games beyond just fetching the remote from the same room that everyone weirdly has (I guess that's hell for ya). But then again, clearly the game really works as-is since nobody can stop playing it, so what do I know? :laughing:

-I agree that load times are a bit slow since we're doing it a lot, and adding an upgrade option for that is an inspired idea.

-Simple thing, but maybe a slight overhaul or different font in the menus? That's the kind of thing one would see outside of a jam game, though.

The real hell was the tip creep we found along the way!

@mrwarranty Thanks for the solid feedback! Glad you enjoyed.

There's another music track in the pause menu too. If you didn't get a chance to hear that one, I'd recommend it!

You've got me taking notes 📝

Those tip percentages might almost be enough to make a dent in things.
