Lovely game! :> Very cool idea of a game about furcons. Had fun figuring out my own kinda strategies to progess and make the most money. (mine was putting all the self-deprecating furs together. if everyone is self-deprecating, then nobody is XD) That being said, I could not make it further than day 3 as the game's difficulty is quite high and no matter what I did, I always failed. :<
Other than that, I think the art style is super cute! ^^ Loved seeing the furs in different color patterns, especially when they turned up in pride flag palettes. :D The soundtrack is also super jazzy and smooth and I loved the little chiptune melody you got later as well.
Great game! Some feedback of how different dealers effect each other would be nice tho, whether it be synergies or... anti-synergies. (that's a word, right? ^^')
I love the art and elements of strategy in this, combined with a very nice jazzy soundtrack. I've never been very good at strategy games, so my judgement probably isn't the best, but this is a strategic game that I wanted to try over and over again, which says a lot about the appeal and charm this has.
I love this, excellent interpretation of “blocked”, incredibly furry from the get-go. Like a tower defense game but in reverse! A cute puzzler by all accounts. I do wish that you could see statistics easier before starting the round, or get more visual feedback when a certain bonus/debuff is being applied to different tables. That made it harder to get good at knowing what to do with the options provided.
Wow, I know its a game jam but thats a really hard game. I don't know whats going on under the hood and whatnot, but the attendees come in wayyyy too slowly.
Great concept, not sure how "Blocked" it is but a fun concept regardless!
My takeaway from this is that I should start offering $900 badge commissions :>
Also shoutout to Cipher for the hint that you can see the artist's stats by hovering over them!
I really enjoyed it, I feel it could be a lot easier. I enjoyed just playing the game more than trying to win.
Yeah, it was meant to be easier, but we ran into issue and ran out of time. Thanks for playing it though <3
Neat concept, but there's no indication as to what kind of shops the customers want and the game is kind of just luck.
Yeah, there was supposed to be more strategy to it but we ran out of time due to life getting in the way. Thanks for playing it though <3
Pretty nice game. Very unique interpretation of the theme! The music was good (sounded very elevator-ish), and I like the art.
The mechanics were a bit unclear, though. It took a while to figure out that hovering over the people showed their qualities. Also, what counted as neighbors was a bit unclear (people beside them? across? behind?). It might be nice to also show how much each type of stall makes per item in more direct terms. The NSFW debuff was not apparent (I only found out about it after coming across the SFW trait), and the goals are a bit high for only 2 new artists per round.
Overall, this game shows a lot of potential, and I would be interested in seeing more.
Fun game, did not really get it the first time but, gave it a another try after reading the comments CipherProtogen makes a good point , I really liked the art all the animals had there own personality.
I like the concept, although it took me a while to find out that you can hover over the characters to find out their buffs and debuffs. Music also fits perfectly for the game. Overall, I really enjoyed playing it.
Very cool idea and execution!
Pretty fun concept allthough the effects were a bit "hidden" from the player
Very fun idea, and the designs and animations are all well-implemented and work well together. I was a little confused how to strategize with the gameplay: more player feedback to make it clearer how to best arrange the tables would be appreciated, but what is there is well-designed and it wasn't too hard or painful for me to figure out the basic mechanics.
