I could not run the packaged version, but I was able to run the python "raw" with python 3.3 + pygame, strangely enough.
I liked the concept and the game played well and feature-complete (for an LD game, I mean). Unfortunately the game explained itself rather poorly and seemed unbalanced. Eventually I figured out the relationships between the stats and the buy options, but a short info screen or tutorial was amiss. I realize the timeframe probably forbade it.
The pixel art for the factory was kinda cute, but scaled up too much, I'd have prefered a smaller view for the factory and the stats being more cleanly organized.
The sounds were okay, but the music stopped after switching to the ingame view and only played on the title screen. A bummer, because it's good.
Overall I'd say a solid game, that would have been a good game with a few turns and tweaks.
