Not recommended Dec 17, 2023
I might be missing something here - but this feels horrendously unfinished. The images used as promo do not actually reflect the finished product, graphically or content-wise, the multipliers have not once increased or decreased while playing despite good streaks, the overall mechanics are spotty, interfacing with the primary game loop and the shop are so highly inconsistent that a flash game mechanic becomes frustrating. If this were a homebrew proprietary engine tech demo, it'd be ever so slightly more acceptable. As it stands, I could not recommend this to anyone. Breaking down the key features listed as of 17/12/2023: The annoying boss mechanic is a dude that comes in does a Sims dance. Your character will tell them to uckfay offyay. That's it. The budget constraints, resource allocation and financial decisions amount to buying energy drinks and a very undefined mechanic that occasionally brings up something resembling a basic timesheet. Because the mechanics involved for pressing and holding space while occasionally buying an energy drink being as janky as they are, I never saw a single implementation for any sort of strategy. One cannot beat their boss up with a keyboa…
