Economic Hitman by sentendo

[raw]
made by sentendo for LD32 (JAM)
You are a Corporate and your goal is to buy small companies to destroy them after you complete their purchase in order to get more market share (Growth factor). Also, they will try to buy your people but you can click on their money to stop them and add more cash to your budget. If they hit you, they will lower your growth factor.

The highest budget will be shown at the end, you will also level up and improve your building.

I like the idea of this game - it is a bit tough to click on the small coins, and I like how you "destroy" the enemies/competitors.

Cool take on the theme, I was hoping to see some ideas revolving around economic agents' tactics as a weapon. I felt for the tiny little guys after I took down their companies :S

The coins could use some scaling, though. They're a bit tiny to click on.

Good work! :D

Funny and fun! Wish the coins were easier to click on.

My hand hurts from all of the clicking.

If the spinning coins just required me to mouse over them instead of clicking exactly on them, it would be a lot easier for me. I don't quite understand if the coins thrown at me were decreasing my growth rate or directly damaging my current valuation.

Almost, yes, they decrease your growth! :)

It's really hard to defend your economy. The hitboxes seem to be really small. Maybe you need to make it more difficult the longer you get.

The hitbox of the coins could be a bit bigger and it gets quite spammy - but nice idea and fun to play

The game is quite stressful (and coin clicking is hard to get right)!
I liked the message and the game feels very polished.

Great idea.
It's really hard as the coin are way to small. It make the game almost impossible. But I think it could be great.

it fealt a bit too much like cookie clicker but the idea is good and the execution too. it just lacks substance i think

Nice one!! It's refreshing to see games that make criticism of the bad things of society. Congratulations!!!

Asnhave been said before it's difficult sometimes to hit silver coins. It would have been also fun to build something to block small coin somewhat like in cookie clicker. Nice sound picks and overall graphics.

Pretty fun game. My only complaint is that the coins were a little hard to click on (unless that was intended cause I was sure I was clicking the hell out of some of the coins)

Clicking those tiny, spinning, moving coins was tough work! Cool concept and interesting spin on the theme, but the game play boiled down to frantic clicking which isn't too much fun.

Nice game, but tons of clicking and at some point the coins are hitting you faster than your growth counter can keep up with, so you're only losing 1% for every 2-4 coins that hit you.

My high score so far is nearly 500,000,000,000,000

Interesting, but too simple imo. I would have loved to be able to unlock some skills, or build new stuff, or have to make any choice really :)

The polish is good though, and the animations were smooth.

Simple design done well. Liked the little touches you gave it with the movement of the buildings and the way the money was thrown. My highest score was 13.539.047.187.

Pretty fun game, simplistic but enjoyable, sooner or later you are doomed to lose but until that point it will be a wild ride :)
Neat idea and execution.
