I can see where they're going, and I can see why Steam suggested this to me but this wasn't a game for me. I recommend it purely because I can see a certain type of person enjoying it, once the devs have worked around the niggly bits.

Pros:
- Nice, whimpsical art
- You can bump the things falling on the screen at the start menu with your cursor
- Sound design is nice
- I can see the replayability loop
- Really cool tape style in terms of the Tape
- KPIs are a smart level metric
- Pokemon/Collectable card game-esque card rip when you gain a new one

Cons:
- Tutorial's text is super overwhelming
- Personally didn't enjoy that I had to click on the card bag to draw my cards, when the game can just do that for me each round
- Due to the tutorial text being overwhelming, there's a lot on screen I have no idea why its there

Try it for yourself, I literally played 2 rounds and knew it wasn't for me. So just make your own opinion if this seems like something you might be into.
- Starting hand that they give you is very basic

Looks like a cute & relaxing vending machine management game, is a cute & relaxing vending machine management game. Some parts were a bit slow for me, but I guess that comes with the Idler territory (which I didn't notice when downloading).

Pros:
Has a Voice Over'd tutorial of good quality.
Pretty easy to get your head around.
Good music!

Things they need to work on (mostly just clean up stuff):
The camera controls in build mode are a bit... not great. I'd suggest a WASD setup to make it more intuitive,
I'd suggest making the Quit option for things like the Build menu stand out more/consistent. Maybe as a coloured button with the associated key in [] next to it. I see you have one in the maintenance menu, so this is either in the pipeline, or you guys chose to not do it. I'd prefer it if had a nice little button!
Please make the milestone progress a bit clearer. I got my first 2 or 3 and was like.... HUH What did I achieve? I stumbled on the bar at the top by accident when looking at what else is in the top menu. Maybe adding what milestone you reached (eg. Made 100$!) in the pop-up would also be handy.

Other than that, I think people will have a nice relaxing time with this. I'm not an idler player but I had a good time!

Loved it! The art is great, sound design is solid, the mechanics are easy to pick up. I literally finished the demo, closed it and went: Definitely playing this when it comes out. It's a simple game, but when you do something simple well then no one can fault it. I hope you guys have a great launch!

Dave the diver will make you fall in love with indie games again.

A game that tells a very special story about how it's never too late to get better, with a partner that shows you that it's kindness first because you never know what someone is dealing with in the back.
Only criticism I have is that the freezer is locked behind a check that, if you choose to not invest your character building points in it, becomes impossible to do and therefore blocks you from experiencing a whole other side of the game. I was limited to 2 dots in Physical Instrument, and it f***** me over later. Kinda mad, but I'll get over it.

Yo, I thought I hated roguelites. Played Hades and Going Under, and they're both gems. Go get them. Hades is addictive.

If you don't like The Witcher 3, you don't like fun, immersive games with a fully fleshed out world and beautifully written story. It's fantastic, just hang tight the tutorial is a bit poop but it gets SO MUCH BETTER
