An anti-capitalist idle game where you play as Geoff Bozo, on his journey from nothing to space exploring Quadrillionaire.

In Prime Time, your mission is simple: get Geoff Bozo to space. Not for science. Not for progress. Just because he wants too.

Start small, selling books and dvds. Then automate. Exploit. Union-bust. Greenwash. Fire your workers and replace them with drones. Anything to keep those profits climbing.

Because if there's one thing more important than people, it's margins.

🧠 Made for the Anti-Capitalism Jam

This is my entry for the F*ck Capitalism 2025 game jam. For the avoidance of doubt, It’s satire, but maybe only just.

🕹️ How to Play

  • Keyboard controls/ on screen buttons for touch
  • Spend money to hire, automate, and expand
  • Reach new milestones and unlock “features”
  • Complete it in half an hour or so of play time (with a few hours of idling)
  • Win by launching Geoff into space

🧑‍💻 Details

This is the first time I have made an idle game so it's not very deep so I tried to focus on the theme instead.

I made this with my javascript game library beep8. It's a free open-source library for making retro-style games. You can see more games made with beep8 on beepmini.

I've enabled donations, and payments to buy the source code but the game is totally free to play in the web browser.

That's a very solid game. I had a lot of fun reading the increasingly more ridiculous upgrades

Horrifying but really chill idle game that made me do a double-take at one point. Really embodies the theme of the jam!
