Absolutely brilliant art and the concept is really cool! Definitely could be expanded after the jam to add more stuff for the end!

Developer

Thanks for playing! What would you recommend I add? 

Submitted

Maybe some items acould be worth more than others, especially further on when you've upgraded the carelessness so much that you can't pick up all the items it could be good tostrategise which ones to focus on. If you wanted to make it a more idle-like game you could buy employees that go collect items or bring customers over to your wagon. Or if you wanted more challenge maybe thieves try to steal from your wagon and you have to click to scare them away.

Developer

Thank you, those are really good ideas! I especially like the idea of people trying to steal from your wagon. Then you could hire guards to grab them . Was there anything else? :)

Submitted

That's all I can think of right now, I think just a few extra mechanics will greatly extend how long people play the game for. But I mean I played for quite a while anyway as it's really fun how it is!

Developer

Those ideas are great, thank you for them! How long did you play for?

My favorite game in this game jam. Thanks for making this, it has a really awesome vibe to it! This has potential <3 I love the art style and the "weird" vibe you have going on!

Developer(+1)

That's so kind of you, I really appreciate that! :)

What sort of potential do you see? And what do you mean by "weird vibe" lol

Submitted

You know, potential as in like doing more with this world style/vibe/aesthetic. "Weird vibe" to me is the design of the people, and the overall aesthetic. It just looks cool overall and I would like to see more of it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Fair enough, a lot of people have suggested building on this, but nobody has really clarified what they mean by it. What sort of things would you add?

Submitted

I mean not necessarily for this game if this was a one and done type of deal, but more like keeping it up with the great artstyle and aesthetic you have going on! 

Submitted

Beautiful as heck

Developer

Thank you! :)

Cool game, I love the vibe.
At the end there were so many objects on the ground that I wondered why they kept coming to buy me some, haha

Developer(+2)

Haha yeah but you look poor if you're picking stuff up off the floor, can't be seen to be doing it! Thanks for playing :)

very cute art and polished game, but it gets a spot repetitive after a bit

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks! Yes I agree that there isn’t much to do at all, but this was meant to be made in 3 hours, and I had already overrun by this point! 

Submitted

The style and animations are simple but amazing!

The idea is really creative

Good job!

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it :)
