Really cool art and story, feels like great worldbuilding in this apocolypse. Like others the browser window the game makes when you start is quite broken and it does seem impossible to fail but regardless it's very cool and really fits the theme!

I love it! The art is great, the gameplay works really well and fits the theme!

You've really pushed the concept and it's a very nice job.

Yes, my brother's drawings are nice, when he finds a little time for a gamejam ;)

Thanks for your feedback

Nice idea for the jam and I like the art.

Most things have already been mentioned like the game screen seems off. 

I got confused on buying water it say  -Water? (Should be +Water?)

Short and simple well done 💚

Developer

Yes, it's a bad copy paste for the display line. Don't worry you actually get the water ;)

Thanks for the feedback

Great game! Love the art. The browser game screen was a bit broken for me but that's not a big problem.

I love hand drawn games like these, also great sound effect :P

Few notes: (I know time is not enough to fix all so I'll leave them if you wannna work on it later)

  • If I drag an option it brightens the font color and makes it impossible to read
  • I cant lose the game (I tried but there aren't enough brigands or dangerous routes to deplete 10HP)
  • Balance the casino, the expected value should be negative
  • 3sec delay to read may not be enough
  • I can play even if my balance is negative in casino (I got a score of -160)
