hopeless startup simulator, made for the Profectus Creation Jam, and won first place... somehow??
Everybody has some great ideas for the future, but not everybody wants to do the work to get there.
"this crazy idea" puts you in the role of a programmer as their friends and family barrage them with startup ideas, that are all so mind-numbingly stupid that they're doomed to fail.
But... you're a nice person, right? You wouldn't say "no" to a good friend.
Or would you?
Can you break the cycle?

Clever little quickie. Funny idea, v relatable, & it's nice to have a short one every once in a while. Couple of the comments here seem like they could be in the game XD
developer response: the concept just goes over some peoples' heads i guess 😅
Have worked in startups, can confirm this is 100% accurate. 10/10. Maybe add a bugfix button that is permanently greyed out. Maybe I'll add that in my game that I have my friend make ;P
I somehow clicked the option to say no, without buying the last upgrade.

It took me way too much time to realize that all you need to do is to ignore the marketing and dump all the code into features
340-0-300 with hackathons, spam pipe bombs, infinite run

developer response: a very persuasive way of getting them to use your product
The javascript alert whenever you go to begin a new startup takes you out of full screen every time. Very annoying
Extremely accurate portrayal of how startups work. 5/5
