Only 72 hours to make a game!

Yep. That’s Ludum Dare! Number 53.

Full breakdown and retrospective

This is TBD, as there was a LOT learned! But I want to be thorough. When I do create it, I will backlink from this post.

Until then… Enjoy the project. Scroll to the bottom for links.

Game Features

  • Multiple input support, and key icon changes depending on last used input
  • Randomly generated customers - Always see a new face!
  • Increasing difficulty - More rules get added over time
  • Earning money to be able to afford rent… No government subsidies for you.
  • Days - How long can you last until life is finally unafforable?
