Really fun I played all the way till the end, simple mechanic but gets very addictive. I think it could use some mechanics for punishing you as there's not really a way to fail - you can just hang on to items until they become useful, but it does also fit a more cozy theme without the failing so depends what you're going for. It fits the theme really well and I really liked the audio and music!
I really like the idea, which I think works well with the theme.
Really nice for 5 hours. The assets are beautiful.
Great job!
Actually really fun to play! Great job!
+ Well in the theme
+ Good effort on graphics, animations, and sfx
+ Upgrades
- A bit repetitive for me. Perhaps it needs a bit more on random ?
Hi, thanks for the feedback!
It’s meant to be an incremental game, so some repetition is part of the design, but I agree the early game is probably a bit too slow. Adding more randomness would definitely help keep things fresh. Thanks for playing!
Great idea and execution, the game took me 30min. Loved the small game loop of 4 shops (items, money, prices and stock)
I think my only improvement would be a sell all or slider to avoid having to click the item multiple times, but in a way it's not important since one of the mechanics is controlling money in pocket
30 minutes? Wow, it didn’t take me that long when I tested it. Probably because I know the game by heart.
Yeah, a slider could definitely be a good idea. It didn’t bother me much while making it, but I understand that clicking multiple times to buy items can feel repetitive.
Thanks a lot for playing!
Cool concept and fits the theme well.
This is the 2nd game I played with this idea and likely wont be the last.
Is a short and chill experience.
Well done 💚
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, the idea seems to pop up naturally with this theme, it’s fun seeing different takes on it.
Quite meditative! A few more layers to this and I'd be super engaged.
