You may have played Cookie Clicker or Choppin' Wood - it's kind-of like that.\r\n\r\nI made this type of game because I had very little time to spend on graphics.  The background graphics are really all there is to it in regards to art, unless you count my use of colors, div transparency, div spacing, font sizes, and css rounded corners :)\r\n\r\nThere are very few upgrades so far.  I plan to update this game more over time, but will have to release the upgrades after the compo in additional versions or something.\r\n\r\nSorry, there are bugs.  Let me know if you find any.\r\n\r\nAlso, I just picked up the domain for it today, so it may not be resolving for everyone yet :(\r\n\r\nEDIT:\r\n\r\nUpdated screenshot, fixed the bug where you would all of a sudden have -$2000 or something.\r\n\r\nEDIT 2:\r\n\r\nThe website now splits the compo version and the version I'm going to be continually updating so you if you like the game, you can play the updated version, but you can also vote fairly based on only what I was able to complete during the 48 hour compo.  I will not be changing the compo version going forward.\r\n\r\nEDIT 3:\r\n\r\nHad to remove the links until I get new hosting for this.  Probably will try to get free hosting somewhere.","title":"Above the Core"}
