Note!
The game has been released but is still undergoing development to ensure the game is robust and fun.
I see this as a pre-release version before the game is launched on Steam and other platforms therefore the minimum price is currently set at 50%. If you have any issues please let me know!
Although I have taken every effort to ensure the game runs smoothly, if any errors do occur please save your game and reload it.
Thanks for being interested in my game and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it!

I love this game its simple and fun. I love a game with a sandbox mode and this does have one. There was one small bug, I'm not necessarily sure what caused it but after I started expanding my Arcade, most specifically added an office the builders just went back to their hold position and stopped working. Not only this, but every worker went there and remained in the wait position no matter what I did, hiring a new worker would just leave them stuck outside in the wait position. BUT, closing the game and restarting it fixed this issue :)
good work to all the devs, I love the art style and simplicity of the game. I wouldn't change anything. Game was not buggy minus that one instance. Cheers :)
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback - I'm glad you enjoyed the sandbox mode, I had a few different modes. I am working on a new game at the moment with a muuuuuch bigger scope with lots of toggles and tweaks to make it how you want.
Glad the restart fixed your game, I think this may occur if you have so much AI in the game, the code wasn't the best at handling this.
I REALLY loved this game. Slight bug which means I can claim unlimited 1k grants on normal game but other than that. It was amazing! Here's a video I did on it...
I don't understand why my arcades keep failing. My customers are demanding ATM machiens but that's like end game tech, and I can't even come close to getting it unlocked before my business dies from low happiness.
Hm, maybe this needs balancing, you could try adding more snack machines and chairs - if there is no ATM they usually head to a chair, then head home (which affects unhappiness less)
i just started doing youtube soo here u go :)
Nice video bro!!! Very good editting too very funny haha
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :DDDDDDDDD

Hiya Jeremy, sorry for the late reply I was working on performance after reading this and never came back to you. So what I'm interested in is your pc spec, could you possibly provide it?
