I hadn't spent any money for it to happen, which was frustrating.\r\rAt one point the left side bar went behind the buttons on the right side bar. The hamburger philosophy button also gets hidden as it's over too far on that side of the screen.\r\rIt took me a while to realise that 'researching hamburgers' meant purchasing the hamburger button - I thought that was a one-off upgrade.\r\rHaving a pause button would also help immensely in a time-based game.\r\rOverall a job well done, the operatic music was a really nice touch and I like the way the day\/night animations were implemented.

The day\/night cycle, the hot dog van driving to your stand, the random events.\r\rMeanwhile, my biggest grief is that I seem to get robbed (or something) all the time and there's no way for me to prevent the sudden losses of money. That just seems like a design flaw to add fake difficulty. It's keeping me from getting anywhere at the start for a long while. Not quite gamebreaking but super annoying.\r\rThe overlapping menus are a bit ugly too, not a good use of the limited screen space.
