It's just a thing that you click. After waiting for a few seconds and losing coins for the first time, near-instant clicks following also resulted in negatives. Waiting again fixed it. Doesn't particularly feel like it fits the theme - minimalism is the stripping out of non-essential elements, and this was stripping out all elements save for user activity and progression. If I felt like the game was a satire or something and could laugh along with it then maybe I could deal with it better, but at the moment it wasn't at any time actually fun."},{"author_name":"Alex Camilleri","author_uid":"3732","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 8:18pm","epoch":1367352780,"text":"It felt extremely passive and unpredictable.
