Apple Juice Tycoon by felixreeve
Make money by buying apples and making juice!
Employ conveniently named characters!
Keep them fed and quenched!
Train them to be the very best!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download and unzip the package from GITHUB and open the PLAY.html file to play!
Hold the hotkeys at the bottom to select actions.
Hold one button and press a second to use the action:
eg to get Quentin to start making juice, hold J (for juice) and press Q (for Quentin).
TIPS:
Make sure to train your employees! This will reduce how much you need to feed them and give them drinks! When they reach level 8 they will no longer need you to give them drinks!
You need money to buy apples, you need apples to make juice and you need to sell juice to make money! So keep doing those things to build resources! As long as your employees get enough to eat and drink then you should be able to get more money and train them to cope better on less food and drink!

BTW, you can deploy your files to pages.github.com so people won't have to download your repo to play.
I really don't dislike this game as much as it sounds like, but it does need a real GUI and some adjustments to the mechanics to make it more fun.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629
It would be nice to have a better controls (using mouse) and the opportunity to play the game directly in browser with one click (nowadays it's not really hard to host it somewhere)
I think I found a bug though. Employing someone with the name [ seems to have crashed the game (everything turn white).
However once you build a small (so you can manage the feeding) team that gets into cruise speed making money, the game seems to lack a clear goal, direction or challenge.
