Not much of a game. Minimalistic, sure, but there's nothing to see or do.
Sadly it seems that I can't run it, because it's no 32-bit version. :( (Win XP, 32-bit laptop here)
Sadly there isn't much of a game aspect to this. Where is the gameplay?
I don't feel like blaming the lack of gameplay, but it for sure feels like you could have added more content to it :(
Funny, and certainly minimal, not really a game. I think it would have been more forgiving if there were additional scenarios or branching paths where you had to think a little to get to the minimal level. The idea has some goo potential but the experience ended so quickly.
The concept of a game that becomes simplier as you play is neat, but it wasn't actually executed here.
It's an interesting idea, but not pulled together too well. More levels of minimalism would have been interesting. The money thing was a bit odd, considering that you don't lose money to pay for new games.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I can't seem to download this, the page it links to seems to have nothing indicating how.
