It's a really cool game, I liked it, but I don't know how realistic it is to accumulate 1 million bucks in this game.

@kkritikov Wasn't it like 1 billion? Really fun, played multiple times to see all of the collector's events.

I was curious what happens if I ignored all the events going on and just stuck glued to my screen addicted to the first badge game and that was not expected! Fun play on the theme and I like how hectic everything feels as you unlock more. The ending screen was one of the best things I've seen in a long time, great game!

So much fun! Got excited when it "broke" for the first time and I got a second computer. I'd love to see this concept expanded on more.

Super fun game. I really like how you broke the fourth wall on idle games and it became a hectic management game. Also the debt collector looking through the window creeped me out! Great concept and execution.

So much juice that I was onboard even though the experience started with being handed literal garbage multiple times. This went so many places so quickly and it was a really fun journey :)

A very simple but well executed take on the clicker/idle-- I'm sure some people will get addicted to this.

I found myself super immersed in this! All the little things really make this game work so well,, really great work!

Interestingly, the game does not stand still, but offers a new challenge every minute, so much so that the game turns from idle into fnaf. The only thing that made me a little mad was the music in idle badger.
Cool entry!

This is frickin hysterical 😅 I loved the balance of managing the computers and dealing with collectors. The ending was especially amazing 😳

As someone who worked collections, and also someone who has used all sorts of free apps (and both my laptop and phone for ridiculously slow, passive income) this hit home HARD in the best of ways.

This game is so creative! Love the fake out at the beginning with the website crashing. Y'all did a great job with audio cues and giving the player enough time to respond. Felt super satisfying when I automated Idle Badger near the end and started popping off. Great work!

This was probably the most fun and creative idlers I have ever played!

cool and simple game, it feels like gambling and I love gambling! I laughed when the page went down and I had to refresh it

Very unexpectedly very awesome. Took me a moment to even realize what's happening.

Kinda disappointing to not have it on http://idlebadger.com

It's so fun, and I don't know why I feel like playing a horror game, my heart keeps pounding, definitely most intense idle game I've played.

This was definitely the funniest game I've played so far this time! And it was so much more than it first seemed... at first I thought I'd be just clicking that one button for the whole time. :-D The sounds didn't work for me on the first try but started working when I tried the game again. A really funny entry!

The way the game opened up was really cool. I'm glad the badger made an appearance, very nostalgic. Very well put together entry and I feel like the idle game could have been extended into a full one.

I don't play idle games normally, but the story really kept me into it. Had fun finishing, glad I'm your favourite person!

This is my favorite game from LD58! I like how the game starts as a simple idle game and then adds new activities. The door sound really scared me the first time :)

Wow, this was a journey! I didn't expect this to turn in some kind of horror game. Amazing work! No other game drew me in that much yet :)

I don't even remember when was the last time I laughed out loud while playing a LD game. Great job. And definitely surprising in more ways than one. I was just expecting a simple cookie-clicker :D

Great entry and well deserved win, felt extremely "Daniel Mullins" in the best way.

It is a shame I could not stumble upon this game earlier. This has so many levels. I initial thought, honestly, 'this game won the jam?' and later as I was playing saw all these layers on top of each other. It can even get creepy. Excellent job. I hope to learn a couple of things from you.

Do you need music for the game? I post weekly and have created systems for longevity and high quality.
