I've played a few popular clickers and have a couple of suggestions:
Your game is susceptible to auto-clickers. I set mine to a duration of 1ms and racked up points really quick. Maybe set some really small but realistic limit for clicks (like maybe 10-20ms between clicks max.)
Maybe make an upgrade that increases click power.
Other than that, very nicely done. I really enjoy the art.
Edit: It turns out this happens with any item. To go from 66 to 67 Fire People costs 4,232C but to go from 67 to 68 costs 523,213C. If I press and release control, the price to go from 67 to 68 costs 4,317C. Also I double clicked on buying an item and my controversy went to negative!
 RIP me.
P.S. I also re-enabled the tutorial that got disabled in the testing process. Whoops!
Glad I could help you catch it! The only bug I still found (I went back and played your game again for another 15 minutes... good job on making it addicting!) is that the money went negative still while buying the item after "Build a Wall". I went so far negative I couldn't recover hah.
Also, I didn't get to hear the music before as I was at work. It's really good!
I like the aesthetics here - the excellent and fitting soundtrack, constantly rolling news ticker, and chattering Trump all add nice flavor to the game. However, I did have issues with tooltips not appearing a lot of the time, so I had to make some blind decisions. Perhaps as a result of this, I kinda stalled out at Anti-LGBT/Build a Wall tier. Also, I honestly don't see the connection to the theme. That said, this is a fairly covfefe
Sucks that the tooltips didn't work for you. =/ Seems like right-clicking might fix them, at least sometimes.
But I guess that is the goal of the game... :)
The music kept my playing longer as I planned!
The description of the upgrades seems to disappear after some time, which is sad...
