Interesting game! I like the path it takes towards the end ;). It would be neat if the first few buttons had a way to grow as you made more money, otherwise pressing them isn't very useful.

A really cool take on the clicker type games! (and also a very good doggo)

Doggo is super cute, can easily see this being a calm indie game if it was made much larger. Background audio was a little repetitive after playing the game for a while. Great game none the less!

Good game, the music starting and stopping is annoying though

not sure if it's me or something with itch.io but when I click play, game keep loading and nothing happens, so, couldn't play the game

Love a cute doggo! Clever little twist (which I avoided) and a good implementation of a classic clicker

Pretty funny game. There is quite a bit of waiting around. It would be cool if there was something (useless) to do while idle such as throw a tennis ball around the screen.

Very cute game I did not expect that twist at the end. I think my one critique would be that there is a lot of down time, maybe something you can do when you are waiting for the jobs.

This was a cute game! I really like the good boy vs bad boy element, as well as the the style and format of this clicker style game.
