Business Beetles by Diego Teran
Welcome to your first day as the CEO of Business Beetles! Lead your tiny beetle employee-servants by hiring recruiter beetles, raising revenue by selling your products, and employing guards who can defend you from the bird mafia (who may be out to collect on some unpaid loans the company might have failed to pay back).
Try your best to keep the mini-corporation's profits high! (or at the very least, try your best to keep it profitable...hopefully...)

SALES
RUN
Also, this is a surprising description of my day job, although I did end up being fired here so I don't know what that says about me!
PS: I love how all the workers come in at night to rest, it warms my heart <3 Awesome job to the whole team!
After about two weeks my progression was stuck a bit like so:
1. day N: I get lots of money for trading.
2. day N + 1: I lost almost all of it because of griefing (doesn't matter how much protection I have, defenders just sometimes run after single target while other bad guys ruining my deals!!!).
3. day N + 2: same as N.
And after unfortunate attack I couldn't recover. Eventually, I got to the income limit? Beecause my worker beetles were waiting in queues trying to make a deal. Or this is because of high expences.
That's a pity I can't fire someone, such unrealistic for a capitalism game! /joking
Music is great, really liked it!!
Well done team!

Wonderful entry. Really polished visuals, fun atmosphere and relatively easy to understand gameplay :) Props to the musician, too!
Very charming game ! Lovely art and audio !
just one note, We need a job summary when we have to give work to new guy, because I don't always remember my staff. Else it a great game ! :)

I might have hired too many people

oops haha
Art and music are great and as much as I dreaded being visited by the mafia again, I really liked their theme song :)

Also nice song for the credits

I see what you did there lol, great idea!
