Really fun idea! Short and sweet and did its job perfectly.

The merchant really made me laugh! Knowing they will appear as soon as I spotted the next impossible obstacle, and then the music plays, wondering what they could take away from me this time... Platforming was fun, and I particularly liked the lighting. Well done!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun writing the merchant and designing around giving the player stuff for the merchant to take.

I liked this game. It was short  but nice I am really currently liking the 2d characters on a 3d area and was wondering if you could tell me how you did it. The music was good especially the shopping music.

Developer

Godot has a "3D Sprite" node for doing that. Essentjally, it's a 2D sprite on a plane in the 3D world. In the game, I just paired it with an invisible 3D object for the physics.

As for the music, it's royalty free. I recommend looking up incompetech.com.

Thanks that will make it easy to do that. Im thinking about making a 2d/3d roguelite like some of the games you can see at this game jam. I've never made something like that so it will be fun. As for the music im thinking about making it myself, I have a little music theory, this gamejam i didnt have enough time being a solo dev but next jam i think i might have a partner and maybe will have enough time to do it

Developer

Good luck!

Why am I so bad at this :D

That's actually a bit under the average of my friends who tried!

Remember that you also gave the merchant a minute of your time. ;)

Waste graphics!!!

Developer

What do you mean by "Waste"?

Submitted

So I like your graphics in the game.

Developer

Ahhhh! Thank you!

Submitted

I just have a little problem with English

Developer

I was wondering, because "Waste" means "Bad use of", "Squandering", or "Garbage".

Submitted

Oh sorry I meant something else(

Interesting mini story. I liked the mechanics with jumps, they feel quite nice. But there are some difficulties with determining the distance to the target due to perspective. But the game is very cool!

Developer

Thank you!

Really good. I enjoyed the concept a lot and my only complaints are that the controls took a while to get used to and the cost was only story based.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
