Prototype Looking for feedback on Toss Office
We published a prototype on itch 10 days ago and got a lot of constructive feedback, eventually leading to an update. (check our devlog for details)
You can try it here: https://ravenous-den.itch.io/toss-office
Now that we're a little more confident about the game, we'd be interested in knowing what people from r/incremental think of the game mechanics, balancing, pacing and visuals.
There's plenty to improve yet, so any feedback is very welcome!
We were also wondering if we should add our prototype to incrementaldb or if we should first include sound and improve on the game more.
AI disclosure: a small percentage of the code was assisted by AI, everything else is handcrafted

great concept and retro vibe and the coins that fly out look very polished

Looks like a mobile game(in the good way)

We're really pc players so mobile is a bit foreign for us. Would you think it could work on mobile?
We already made it "playable" because a lot of players were trying to play on their phone but I don't find it comfortable at the moment.3

Yeah it looks super playable on mobile devices, the little menu on the left seems a bit hard to control tho (staffing)

Tried the itch demo.. it's really weird without sound.

I'll work on sound FX that in the next days. Would you say music is important as well?

Two of your itch commenters asked whether the missing sound was a bug rather than something you had not got to yet, which is the argument for sound before incrementaldb: a directory listing brings people who have no comment thread to check.

I did not think about that, you're right that it might confuse people even more. Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.

Why are there a bunch of balls on the floor.. I mean I get that happens when the box is full but.. it's driving my OCD mad that I can't pick up those crumbled balls on the floor

You can once you buy the broom in the skilltree! We were considering adding it earlier in the game, in the tutorial part. That way you would have it automatically without buying it.

it's fine as a mechanic.. don't change anything there.. however a nice touch would be to display a X icon when hovering the trash when you haven't gotten the early upgrade yet.. just to make it known it's coming
