My obsession for money has made me too greedy ._.

It's funny. You would think with a clicker game as simple as this, I would have just pressed Z on the same card the whole time. But I started formulating a plan to get the most efficient reward by choosing cards in a specific way. A neat little time waster, thanks for making this!

An idea with potential. At the moment my feeling is that only relying on luck is too less for the gameplay. The second upgrade where you can get a look at one card goes in the right direction, more in that direction would be great.
Nevertheless it works perfectly and was fun to play.

I'm greedy in the end... But if I have my significant other with me (love) and I have 20k+ in my bank account (money), what else could I possibly want from life?? :D

Interesting game. I found that I wasn't that encouraged to swap card-deck to flip cards from even when having the spy-on feature. Basically it took longer swapping around than it was worth in win. I'm not entirely sure what would change that in an easy way.

Kind of a strange experience. It felt like a clicker honestly. Switching cursor felt way too slow so I ended up just pressing z over and over. Even with Eye upgrade just pressing z felt more rewarding. And in the end you can only buy love and get that message about greed. Nice idea but a little blunt delivery in my opinion.
Good job though!

A fun little incremental game. Graphics looked pretty good, perhaps if you had more time you could expand on this further? Good job!
