Love the music, assuming you made it yourself in the 48 hours.

Could you upload compiled version?

I just keep going bankrupt :/

well made little game, it's impressive how you produced that audio in this short time. the beginning is not so easy, because you don't really understand what you have to do to not get bankrupt… also the actual gameplay could be a bit more different over time, since you kinda do the same thing the whole time.
i loved the ending though :P

@Huder it's available now

I love the ending. Begining is really fuzzy (some explanations on what is what are needed) and once understood, the game is just "hire as many guyz as you can clik-click-click". Anyway, the ending is just so fun! Gratz!

Loved this, completed it. Maybe a little too easy once you understand the mechanics, but really nice.

At the beginning I get bankrupted very fast. Later I found that you have to keep the ballance between some of the stages,...so I went bankrupt not that fast :D A very unique concept. Good Job! Glück auf, Glück auf!

Sehr gut!

I went bankrupt really quickly the first few times and almost gave up. It might be better to make the first level a bit easier and the later levels a bit harder, because once I'd learnt how to pass the first level I basically just had to keep doing the same thing to pass the subsequent levels.

LOL! :)

kind of frustrating... it's hard to figure out what to do...

kirbikaka 2014-04-30 23:49

I would definitely agree that instructions would help a lot. Even after reaching the end of the game, I still don't really know what affects Satisfaction and what stock represents. The audio is quite nice though and the game is fun once you get it :D

Interesting game. Using 1 1 0 got me going. Once you get enough resources in reserve though you can pretty much just coast. Maybe having a resource cap or some other penalties that force the player to keep micro managing the controls.

Original idea when compared to the usual LD entry, but frustrating because even though I make it to the end I still don't really understand the mechanics. Some instructions would have been nice. Cool music!

Btw: on Fedora 20, I needed the sdl-static packgage, otherwise cmake would run fine, but make would fail during linking because it could not find -lSDLmain

5 5 1 seemed to work well, then I was bankrupt.
Knowing it's sellers, miners, scientists was useful.

yselftool 2014-05-01 13:15

Fine game, just telling which one is which at the beginning would be great.
Good ending.

delca 2014-05-01 14:57

I got stuck really early, but the comments helped me understand how the game works. Loved the ending and the music!

blazingfanfish 2014-05-01 15:35

Nice game. I like how the managing resources took place. But I quite didn't understand on how to play it on the first time. :)

cambrian_era 2014-05-17 15:15

So, the music and art work well, but this could have really done with more instructions. I fiddled with settings and eventually got to a point where I could just leave the miners going and everything was stable so I won the game... I just wasn't sure why.
