Damn this game is pretty, with a distinct and polished visual style, arcade mechanics to keep repetative play and fun music to boot. Great game!

Gameplay is simple, but DAMN this looks good! Great illustrations and amazing vibes, definitely the best I've seen in this jam so far. My vote for art would go out to this one :)

Developer

WHAT BEAUTIFUL DRAWINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS!

I really liked everything, the concept is great!

The only thing I would say is that maybe it's TOO fast haha, at first I didn't manage to place any objects.

But then I was able to learn and got it right. Still, excellent, very nice, it also lacks music. otherwise great!

I hope you go far!

Also try our rhythm/rpg game

And here's our winner for art category :) Great job!
It was a bit disturbing that the lady who asked for her turtle back returned to the shop a few minutes later. Like, is it so hard to keep a turtle alive?

Submitted

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the turtles?!

Developer (1 edit)

* no turtles were harmed in the making of this game.
So glad you enjoyed it!

The art is stunning.

The entire composition is voodoo-style, and the animations are so polished.

I congratulate you and thank you for creating this beautiful thing.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing, really glad you enjoyed it!

I can't believe this much was made in a jam!

This game made me remember when i was a kid and discovered The Secret of Monkey Island on one of my dad's floppy disk. Loved the art, loved the animations and loved your take on the theme!

"Please revive my sandwich" was my favorite line xD

Developer(+1)

i'm so glad it unlocked those early memories for you! and who wouldn't want to revive their sandwich! especially if its Ham Pickle & cheese :P

Great job on the colors and the overall theme for your game. Nice little animations and dialogue sound effects. It's great to see you go through the process on how you decided to go with a murky dock in a voodoo shop. It's a pretty good frantic drag-and-drop shop management game getting rid of ghosts while trying to sustain your shop's reputation with your customers.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! i'm glad you liked it! Its strange you know, I wouldn't have thought people would have found it "frantic" i thought i made it too tame... but maybe its right? haha. if people are saying, its chill and frantic, i guess it must be doing somethin right haha. thanks again!
