• dept store upgrade payment goes onto sidebar
  • to increase the total number of customers in sidebar
• scoring sets as a +3/+2/+1 bonus on top of the regular customer value

Comments

The sort order for customers needs to be on the map/screen or somewhere for reference. Since this is used to add customers to the sidebar.

Only drawing up to 4 feels less satisfying than 5. But is that just because I’m used to having 5.

Game took 55 min til end.
