I think you just need to tweak some aspects and add some depth. I'd suggest increasing the rate at which players earn gold, increasing map size, allowing players to zoom in and out and potentially adding time controls(1x, 2x, 4x speed). Oh, and another small issue is that when you click out of the game, it pauses, which seems counter to the idea of an idle game. \n\nGood work, though.

I ended up doing a ton of small tight loops since there didn't seem to be any benefit to longer tracks (you get more money linearly it appears but it also takes linearly longer cancelling out!). Even with this strategy it took a bit long to get started. I think one improvement would be to make the amount of money you get increase greater than linearly the longer the track so you are incentivized to make longer tracks. I also thought at first that the trees and rocks would maybe make me more money by being more \"scenic\" but after some experimentation didn't find any increase in profitability from going by making it more scenic. There is definitely a good base game here with a lot of potential!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Orpartlu","author_uid":"1147993","time":"2020-10-06T15:56:30Z","epoch":1601999790,"modified":1601999790,"text":"Wow, that are a lot of lovely feedbacks.
