cute concept, though doesn't seem like much of a game: seems like you just wait and get money/swag, there's no challange

I played this a lot longer than I anticipated! Formatting the numbers might have helped make things a little more clean, but it was pretty impressive considering the time limit. Good stuff!

Very cookie-clicker like! I like it! It can be really addictive.

You should have sorted the GUI a bit more, format the numbers because that's the important thing in your game. It also would be easier to read if the text was on some sort of one colored background.
The changes on the swag price were to low to have a real impact on the game. It would be nice if you had to take a look on the price all the time to sell at the right moment but the changes were too small and could not really predicted.
All in all the game was only "meh".

Took me a while to give up my 1 swag at the start :( Swag don't come cheap unless you got kid.

Pretty funny game. The 'Swag is off the charts' message is a nice touch! :)

Hey, I added some notes how to run my game if it fails. Maybe want to try again?

I'm playing this already longer than I'd like to admit XD it looks kind of trashy, but the game mechanics are very addictive... "The swag price is through the roof" XD

It's neat, but it's very clearly based on Cookie Clicker, to the point where it doesn't really go beyond that. The graphics are pretty YOLOtastic, but I wish the font wasn't just an aliased Arial.

I sold my first swag for under 4$. Game over. GG.

Like others have mentioned, the GUI could be a lot clearer, but the core idea is really addicting (already proven by Cookie Clicker and similar games too). I also LOVE the fluctuating swag price, it makes the game that much more interesting (especially in the beginning).

Not the most original game out there, but still lots of fun, good job!
