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?

SPEEDRUN TIPS
1. The first 3 turns, do both marketing and features at the same time and buy upgrades
2. After that pour all into features
3. FEATURES!!!
4. Don't miss any upgrades, even if they seem irrelevant
5. FEATURES!!!
6. After the '3x code if Features' upgrade, get 120 lines into monetization, and all the rest into features.
7. Win.

mailing people pipe bombs is certainly useful
but 20 mins, nice game but just putting all of your lines into features makes the game 10x easier

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
