Ahhh, I see. That explains a couple of things that happened during gameplay. I don't know that showing the benchmarks will make the game more fun, since people will just try to do exactly what the benchmarks say. It may be helpful however to show what increasing/decreasing each value is likely to cause (if you raise x, costs stay cheap but the workers are more likely to strike, etc,) and certain risks increase/decrease with each turn you have them set so it can have a slight "push your luck" feeling. It could honestly go in a lot of interesting directions! Overall I found it very charming and probably would play a full version.
Great concept, and the writing is hilarious -- very reminiscent of the film this was based on (I would actually love to play more games with this style of dialogue!) I didn't really understand the mechanics too well; I think that events happen each day based on the relative spending from day to day, not the total, which makes it difficult to strategize. I was able to get up to 96 guests by maxing out my marketing spend gradually, but once I spent 100 on marketing I didn't get any new checkins, and game ended at 14 guests. But overall, I had fun playing and really enjoyed the tutorial!
this was a big issue for me too and I was pulling my hair trying to figure out how to ensure there is always a flower within jumping distance -- I would say it works about 80% of the time but if I were ever to expand on the game I would lock that down for sure.
