Seed to Scale vs Instant Karmas

BUILD YOUR STARTUP WITH UNCLE MARTY Meet Uncle Marty, a friendly billionaire from Texas who made it big in Silicon Valley. He's here to guide you through building your own tech startup from the ground up. THE STARTUP JOURNEY Start with a simple idea and $50,000. Hire your first employees, develop your product, and try to grow into a successful company. Along the way, you'll need to manage finances, keep your team happy, and make smart business decisions. EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT Your employees are real people with needs. Their satisfaction naturally decreases each week - you'll need to give them raises, send them to training, or offer time off to keep them productive and motivated. LEARN AS YOU GO Uncle Marty provides helpful tutorials throughout the game. Each feature is explained step-by-step with his signature cowboy humor, making complex business concepts easy to understand. CORE FEATURES • TEAM BUILDING: Organize developers and designers into focused teams • PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: Build apps and services with modular features • FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: Handle contracts, funding rounds, and expenses • OFFICE GROWTH: Expand from garage to proper office space • TIME PROGRESSION: Advance week by week, managing monthly finances DEVELOP YOUR PRODUCTS Create apps, websites, or services by adding modules (features).

FUNDING & GROWTH Secure contracts for quick income or seek investment for long-term growth. Manage your cash flow carefully - running out of money means game over. SCALING UP As you grow, hire specialists like network administrators and marketing managers. Each new role opens up different strategies and possibilities.

You are a single dot of light — a diya — inside a circular arena. One thumb moves you. Glide through the dark and gather the light to score. Simple. Then your past shows up. Every few seconds, a glowing shadow of YOU appears and replays exactly what you just did — your real movements, looping. Then another. Then another. Soon the arena is full of your own past selves, each retracing a path you once chose. Touch one and the cycle closes — you begin again. "Caught by your 0:42 self." That's the heart of it: every run ends by your own past action coming back around. Never a cheap shot, never unfair — just you, versus everyone you used to be. NOW WITH LOCAL MULTIPLAYER — ON ONE PHONE • Ghost Duel — pass the phone and race a friend's recorded past self. • Versus (live) — split the screen and both play at once. Last one standing wins. • No internet, no accounts — just hand the phone over. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Your past comes back for you — the ghosts are your real recorded moves, not bots. • Fair by design. If a ghost catches you, it's a path you once chose. • One thumb. No tutorials, no clutter. Tap and play in two seconds. PLAYS ANYWHERE • Fully offline. Works in airplane mode — on the metro, on a flight. • No login. No forced ads during play. Watch an ad only if YOU want more — never required. EVOLVE YOUR LIGHT • Beat your best and your color evolves through Amber, Teal, Rose, Violet, Sky and Jade. • Share your run and dare a friend to beat it. Calm to learn, hard to master. How long can you outrun your karma?
