Idle Deliveries by justking144

Your job is to get packages around town, but that sounds like too much work. Better to hire local teens to get the job done for you. Each person requires a fee to be hired and leveling them up costs quite a bit more but vastly increases their speed. Click "send employee" to send any employees in the base out to do a delivery. There’s no end so just sit back and watch the cash flow in.
The style and gameplay were inspired by the idle rogue-like game roguathia.
I also used this jam as a chance to boost my css and html skills, which are pretty shaky at best.
I’m hoping to get a bit done before the comp deadline (and I’d like to keep working on this as a side project) so any feedback or ideas for improvements would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: the itch.io link is the preferred method of playing as it allows the game to go fullscreen

I wish there were a few more sounds other than the beeping but I feel that part of that might've been a stylistic decision on your part.
I love the descriptions you gave for the characters. A few of them made me laugh. Very little to critique here just a fun game all around.
Honestly my only real suggestion is to make it so that your "Cash on hand" is available all the time, so when you look at the employees to try to upgrade, you know whether or not you can afford it. :)
Great work, fun game, and honestly it's still going on my second monitor :laughing:
* The difficulty was balanced well enough that I didn't get bored trying to upgrade everything until around level 25 (on all workers)
* The colored trails of the workers is a neat touch, this game would probably make for a pretty cool screensaver.
Nice job!
