I love management and building games. I also like clicker games so my barometer for fun may be a bit skewed. I like my game for some simple ideas and the potential I see in it but I can sympathies with the sentiment that this game is not fun.

I recorded myself playing my harmonica for the main music and game over screen. I may have put a bit too much time into this endeavor as I didn\u2019t make button clicking sound or any other sound effects for all the actions in the game.
