Cog in the Vending Machine

Various numbers don't seem to be accurate. I can't be bothered to list them all but make sure to double check prices, hp gained/lost and max hp gained/lost. Some of the drinks have different numbers given when in your inventory.

Sapping technique behaves... weirdly.

WHY DOESN'T IT SAVE

I really want to see more of this!

Oh I absolutely love this, and not just because Rats, though that helps a lot. I definitely look forward to seeing whatever the ending is!! 
I think I have encountered some bugs though, namely that I seem to be able to order any of the vending machine items right from the start, even though they don't show up, putting their number into the vending machine still allows me to buy them. 
I also think there could be some improvements? (Maybe the upgrade for inputting max cash at once could just be to click the item from the vending machine to auto-buy it, typing in the numbers still gets super tedious really fast even with the upgrade,) But it's also nearly 1am now and i need to go to bed lol

I'm seeing a bug that is stopping me from even getting started. Some of the content is cut off on the bottom of the div wrapping the iframe. I believe the fonts are not loading due to HTTPS issues, which distorts the size of the display, which stops me from being able to see my inventory and drink the first cola I buy. I can work around this by going into developer tools and manually increasing the size of the div.

Here's the console output:

This game was a lot of fun. 

**SPOILERS**

I really liked the slow decay into an inhuman monstrosity. A very solid analog for capitalism. The vending machine mechanics were very unique, and in the incremental world unique is pretty much required IMO. The admin puzzle was nice, and I personally didn't find it too difficult, but you might look into adding a way to get the password through ichor, making it possible to avoid the puzzle, but expensive. Now, the criticism. On my laptop, 1920X1080, I cannot see the whole UI at once, and have to scroll up to see the exit button and down again to see the inventory. Additionally, some of the tooltips were missing or incorrect, such as the milk which states it heals 100 but heals 50 (if I remember correctly, I took over the company and cant check anymore.)

Overall, I quite enjoyed this game, and feel that it definitely has the potential to take a solid spot in the unfolding incremental genre, with further development. I look forward to seeing this grow greater, and any additional works you do in the future. 

Absolutely wild to have a game this long without any save feature.

Would’ve loved an upgrade that allows me to click the drink icon on the vending machine itself to buy that drink. Or allow me to enter the numbers via keyboard.

Also, is something supposed to happen after you have upgraded everything and click on that check box? The game crashed/froze when I clicked on it.

oh I didn't even notice I was supposed to unlock the rest of the drinks. You can just buy them outright by trail and error

The upgrades to Branch Manager income don't seem to work.

Edit: After purchasing Sapping Technique, it's possible to get the Ichor boost with any job. Selecting Mind Control and then selecting any other job will cause Ichor to continue growing as if you were still doing Mind Control.

Edit 2: Leveling up causes Branch Manager to display as Schmooze at Ratcorp Gala, but it retains Branch Manager's effects.

This is fun to play, although some of the description on what the drink does seem to be wrong. for example, one of the drink (I think milk? can't check cuz game stuck on the admin screen after I take full control of ratcorp) says it recovers 100 HP and add 2 Max HP on the vending machine, but after buying it says it recovers 50 HP and 2 Max HP. another is the drink from the 2nd row that gives 3 Max HP, after you bought the drink the description in the inventory says 2 Max HP but drinking it still gives 3 HP regardless. 

I think some of the description need to be re-check to make sure they have the correct number, but beside that I have no complaint with the game and was able to bought everything and (I'm pretty sure) done everything I can. good job as your first game!

So I lowkey wished you didn't have to pre-load money into the machine, I wish it was just you make your selection.

I had a lot of fun playing this game, but I did discover(?) an exploit. If you start using mind control(after the reversal upgrade) and then switch to Branch Manager you keep the ichor gain but you do not lose any ratcoin, in fact you actually gain ratcoin, But still fun game would recommend.

Also, do the letters that appear when you press the keyboard mean anything or are they just random letters?
