Amazing concept, execution was a little bit lacking. Too much reading and still not everything was clear - still don't know how can you increase your money. Completing crisis events seemed redundant - do you get anything for completing them? Because you instantly get another crisis event. Also some bugs didn't allow me to finish the game. Backspace doesn't work, breaks the game when used during normal game. You can click grayed out buttons.
Loved the humour, graphics gave startup corpo vibes.
Startup company destined to flop is the best theme implementation I saw this ludum dare. Great job.

Really nice visual design! It definitely fits the start up theme. The interface was a little confusing with lots to take in, but it reminds me of complex project management software, so kind of perfect lol. Great job and creative idea! :)
