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. :)

This game was funny. this game makes you FEEL like you are in debt. I love getting a big tip from Moe. L.

\>what is my purpose?

"you find remotes"

\>oh my god

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

This is a fun idea! Great job :)

jordan-costello 2024-04-16 13:39

@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!

jordan-costello 2024-04-16 17:14

@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.

I like this game! You guys are great!

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! tip.png

@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.
