I love this game!

Too slowly start

The premise is really neat but it takes way too long to get to your first job. 5 something minutes of nothing but clicking (without idle income!!) Is very discouraging and made me wanna quit before I got the first job if I'm being honest.

I gave it a shot and continued playing and it's grinding grinding and grinding. It's not rewarding to invest time in this until way later (Based on my assumption, i quit halfway trough) 

If there is an update to this where these points are taken into consideration I'd love to play again but I enjoy the integrity of my fingers so for now imma have to put this on hold

Good day! Thank you for your review and criticism regarding to my first game I've developed. I will use your feedback as one of the stepping stone for me being an aspiring game-designer.

Glad I could help, I hope my criticism wasn't too blunt or mean in any way. I'm excited for game updates :D

For an early alpha, this is excellent. 

I do wish I could start upgrading earlier though. 

What if you had to keep your character happy in order to keep your work speed up? Like, you can buy the little fella a coffee, or let them go take a nap. Play music for them. Get them a cat to pet. Just an idea. 

Overall, it's a good game, and I'm excited to see it improve.

Good day! Thank you for your review for my first game and I like your suggestion regardinng to the gameplay. :D I really do appreciate it and I'll keep those in my mind once I plan to update this game again.

Even with an auto-clicker it takes way too long to get the first job.

Good day! My apologies if it takes you too long to get your first job since many players have also the same concern. As an aspiring game-designer, I would like to thank you for posting your feedback and I aim to improve more.
