Well I played it it, and honestly I only wanted play it because of the old style I am not a fan of games without visual gameplay, but this, this is amazing keep going I am going the buy the full game, this is 101% worth it even if the demo is short.

This made my day honestly! Really glad it won you over, the full game has a lot more content, a completely overhauled Win98 UI, 40 challenges, a restructuring system and much more. Launching April 30th on Steam, hope to see you there! 👔

Played your game and I have to say for how short it was, it was fun and oddly satisfying I think what I enjoyed was the satisfaction to it, it was how it was a clicker I cannot wait for the full release keep up the good work!

Really glad you enjoyed it! The full game goes much deeper, wishlisting on Steam would mean a lot!

Short and fun demo. The upgrade page could use a scroll bar to indicate that you can drag left to right.

The loading between clicks to move between tabs is a little annoying though I get that its part of the style. Maybe an upgrade computer upgrade? Maybe as a prestige upgrade or something?

Thanks for the feedback! Scroll bar is a great shout, will look into it. Prestige upgrade idea is actually sick, noting that down for the full game!

I really enjoyed this game. The graphics and CRT style give it a cool atmosphere, and the dark corporate theme fits the gameplay really well. Even though it’s just a demo, it was fun and made me curious about the full game.

Thanks for playing and your feedback!
