However, I had some problems to find into the game, despite the tutorial. I think the tutorial should have provided a better starting point, e.g. already doing a few actions, such as buying some stuff and sending it to a location. I also experienced some bugs: The sliders for buying and selling goods was not working properly and when I restarted the game the stats from my last game were still there (goods and money).\nI really think with a bit of tweaking this is a very good game. Text-heavy games are always a bit difficult for game jams. Many people do not take the time to read it properly and dive into a rather complex game.

The use of HTML sliders for buying and selling are a very poor choice, and are really broken.\nThis looks like it could be a fun game if you work on the UX and I encourage your to continue.

\nFeedback:
\nI liked the intro, explaining how everything works while sprinkling in a good narrative.
\nUnfortunatelly I hit a bug where I couldn’t buy anything from the market. Everytime I tried to move the sliders, they would disappear.

\nWhat I liked less:
\nOverall, I can tell a lot of effort was put in the game. The UI needs some improvements as it is quite hard to figure out what to do.
