A way to cancel the currently-selected build option, and a way to speed up the time (or make the belts go faster) would be really nice. There seems to be some delay on the machines, so it's hard to turn them on and off at the right time. Pricing is also a bit tight. It's easy not to notice you're out of some ingredient and ship the wrong thing, in which case you can go bankrupt from just that wrong house early on. Maybe if the machines shut themselves down if they couldn't work anymore due to lack of ingredients, it would feel more "fair"?

Thanks for the feedback! A big part of the game is supposed to be managing the supplies, but a more prominent way of displaying how much you have would probably be helpful. The other two suggestions are great as well. Thanks again for your feedback!

Really interesting and innovative for what I usually see in Ludum Dare. Ofcourse the UI and general interaction could use some work, however I think it's still quite impressive you managed to create the systems needed to make this work in just 48 hours. Good job.
