I don't know the game you're trying to remake, so I would like some info on how to play it (in the app). So far I bought some shopping bags, but I can't see how that helps me (I might be stupid though).
Otherwise nice interface, I like the travel screen :) Unfortunately I don't know what I gain from travelling.
Points well taken. We need to make it clear what the objective of the game is. In this case, the point is to gain as much credibility and cash as you can in the amount of time you have to play. So, you buy products at low prices (say $1-$5 for reusable shopping bags) and then sell at higher prices ($10-$15 for the same bags). The simplicity of the game actually offers a fair amount of strategy (e.g. when to take out a loan, when to sell at a loss to take advantage of better prices, etc.)
As far as I can see, no one has asked this before. It would be /really/ nice if I could subscribe to an RSS feed of stories that has earned a certain amount of points, for instance 30. That way I most probably wouldn't receive pointless news about how facebook should look like.
Edit: Btw, what about including a point link in the feed, it's not like you're earning money by ads anyway. Thanks for a nice service!
