  • Hi! I really enjoyed this game! I thought it was a pretty creative puzzle game and I liked how the pieces fit together. I really did enjoy figuring out how much 7 payments of $50 was, and overall just the concept of using a shopping channel to win at a game show. The only downside is that I wasn't sure if the duck races were random or if there was some clue to figure out who would win. I did end up completing the game, though! Thanks for joining the jam!

How does your submission fit the jam's theme?
The in-game TV channels are inspired by retro TV: old game shows, talk shows, infomercials, and the aesthetic of CRT monitors.

Super fun game. You knocked the theme out of the park. Price is right, old school games, late night infomercials, talk shows, legends of the hidden temple, and trying to make out pictures in the static. Awesome!

I guess the only thing I can say is I’m not sure if I beat the game? I got the golden shroom, but don’t know what else to do (played the web version).

I tried to play but the game doesn't go full screen on my setup. On my 4K monitor I only see about a quarter of the screen, so I couldn't really play. Hope this gets fixed.

Incredible game! I love the concept, the audio, the visuals, and the execution! I think you really took the theme and ran with it in an awesome way. The game feels very complete and fun, and I think the puzzles were just right in terms of difficulty (hard enough that you have to think a bit, but easy enough to not get stuck on). Bravo!
