I'm not sure I understand the gameplay loop

disclaimer: This is not me crapping on the game!

I think I could really like this but I'm starting out and I'm confused. I played for a few game days but I'm not sure if I'm wasting time. I want to play the arcade games, after I finish the work (sounds like irl) but I get interrupted by the laundry. And if you don't get the laundry, you get a bad 'grade'. But if you leave the arcade games they don't save your progress.

I feel like it's competing priorities and neither end up feeling 'good' because you have to sacrifice one for the other.

Am I missing something?

Im getting the same vibe at the start too, cant get ♥♥♥♥ for achivements when i gotta stop every 45 seconds. Hoping the upgrades will help

Yeah, quality - maybe I'm just supposed to ignore the laundry? IDK though, that goes against my dopamine reward centers lol.

Heres what I started doing, only do laundy in loads of 3. like come in, start all 3 waiting loads, clean up trash, then game. move to dryer all at once. Do not start more laundry until all 3 new laundrys have spawned.

That way you only make trips for 3x loads and not nearly as much back and forth. Even through physically lower laundry thruput, almost always get S tier 30 dollar laundry so actually get more money then lots of A's and B's

only do laundry when its on the todo list

start the day by picking up trash real quick, do the todos, buy upgrades, get goals on each machine when possible - thatll bring in more people and more money
