Build a game where things earn for you, prices climb and you buy more

A game of buying helpers who earn while you wait is a loop of income, price growth and the choice what to buy next. Its trouble spots are the price rule, buying many at once without a slow loop, and the time you were away. Here is the working loop.

Why this works

The fun is the comparison of a price that creeps up and an income that jumps at milestones. Rounding every price on its own, so the button never lies, keeps that tension honest, even when the numbers get very big.

When not to use it

Skip it if the player should act, aim or decide under pressure. Watching numbers grow is a pastime, not a skill test; add a goal, a choice or a limit, or pick a genre that asks for hands.
