Cute idea, I like the other company names, and I was hoping the goal of "hippy crap" was to go bankrupt before the other companies.

It's a cool idea, but I really wish there was more strategy to it. The product you choose doesn't really seem to matter, and the winning strategy is to just buy everything as quickly as you can, except for the fountain. The rules aren't very clear, I didn't really understand what the parking space did, or what the lab did, but I assume they give me more money. Later on I noticed there was some sort of sabotage mechanic, but you don't ever need it.
In short, it really needs some more strategic mechanics. And of course, I wish there was sound, but apparently that's a technical flaw. Not a bad for a Ludum Dare entry, most games I've played up 'till now had even less gameplay =P
Brilliant little game, full of nice little twists. Wish it was a full-featured game...
Btw, is there a way to contact you? Email, skype, googlechat or twitter?..
I would have tried it out if there was a web version.
How do I get this to work? I tried downloading it but it doesn't run.
I hope you will do an update, because it didn't work on my machine.
Did not run with java 1.6.0_24
