Wow, this was thorough, I really liked how large the map was. It really felt like I had a far way to go to collect taxes from everyone which was very immersive! I like the idea of having to do math, but it can get a bit cumbersome as the game goes on. I also think it would be awesome to show the EXCESS amount you've "stolen" rather than just show the oustanding balance as $0 all the time.

Overall an incredible idea and clever take on the jam's theme. Nicely done :)

Very unique idea, and the execution is pretty good too, it's just that I wish the game had a tutorial. I missed the letter on my first go around and was very confused. A giant floating arrow pointing to it would help greatly.

I loved the abacus system, very fun, the map was surprising to see too it looked so elaborate. 

I think the new day transition could do with being way shorter and some guy told me I collected from him before even though I never saw his face before, did I get juked? Anywho, cool game, just needs more polish, also I think how much tax is needed needs to be communicated more clearly, as in dumb it down way more so people know what you mean.

Oh and my favourite part of the game was adding a little bit on the tax that I calculated so I can skim some off the top, felt very criminal.

Really cool idea!

I like that there is both the element of taking the money AND the element of travel, adds dimentionality to the gameplay. There's more choices to make, so the game feels more complete.

But man, am I bad at math haha I was never sure how much money to ask for and maybe I'm too much of a goody-two-shoes because I never asked for outrageous amounts. Maybe I should have tried being a little eviller, would be better for me evidently!

Really great job, congrats!

Really enjoyed this, great idea and execution! I would prefer the interactions with the merchants to have more feedback and be more engaging like for example their reactions could reflect how outrageous or not your demand is. Also unless I missed it, a way to peak at the previous day's report would be nice. Keep up the good work!

wow thats really cool
please add confirmation button on skipping the day, I felt for this trap twice

I really like the concept of being a medieval taxman trying to milk the most out of subjects! I also like how theres a spatial challenge of some of the better districts being farther away and it taking time. Wish there was more of a downside or punishment from asking an outrageous price. Could make picking the right amount on the abacus more intense lol!  But other then that the gameplay loop is really cool! Getting the letters each day add a lot of satisfying narrative and the stamp press fits so well. Keep up the great work! 

Very fun game and great twisting of the theme! I really liked the extra missions given each day, it would be nice to have them randomly assigned at each new run.  I've spent some good time playing, great work!

The art is really pretty and the map is so big. I wonder what town you took inspiration from! There is potential here for upgrades or hirelings and so on. Really cool concept and great work! :)

Really impressive amount of work for a week — the art is cool and the music is cozy.
The font was a bit hard to read though.
Would love a feature to check today's tax rules on the go.

There are so many different cool parts in this game! The time calculation between the distances, the working clock and the big ass map and the music fits really well! I also thought this game was about calculating math until I realized you could get more money than the percentages you are directed to follow. That took a little bit of the strategy out for me, since then the game is more about trying to get a number as high as possible by gut feeling. Unless there is a way to know how to get the maximum value? 

Nice idea to steal money from merchants by taxes! That's original. I like the aesthetic overall, but the merchants drawings seem off when you compare it with the detailed scene. Gameplay-wise, I couldn't get anywhere close to not being in negative numbers :C. Maybe I'm too honest, haha. And the day is too short to cover all shops. Overall, the game has potential. Congrats on the entry!

Nice idea and love the map! And also that you can steal from them and call it a tax. I read the other comments and believe that if you put in a little more effort into the reactions of the vendors (like haggling, etc.) that this really could be a lot of fun! Regarding the map: Maybe putting the red pin over the blue one would have helped the player to understand where the current location is on the map. For a game done in a week you put in so much elements - good job! 

Very original idea and executed well - you got so much into a week's work! 

I enjoyed practising a bit of maths and the concept of taking off a little more on top. Remembering and planning out what rules applied was also fun, it's a good puzzle game!

I wish there was more of a mechanic to haggling/persuading people when they are refusing to pay. I imagine that's where the probability comes in, but because this isn't visualized in any way I don't understand the risk as easily. This may be in part because you want the player to work out the correct amount themselves so you can't show the range of how much the player is over or under I guess, but it means that in some places I feel a little out of control and at the whim of the RNG.

I liked the map travel, only wish something had more clearly indicated where I am at any given point, I lost myself on the map at times.

The graphics were nice, though I think there's a bit too much of a mix of different art styles and the pixel art clashes with the other UI elements. All the assets are great on their own, but I think the overall style could be more cohesive.

Super cool concept and execution overall! Great work!

I was in the red for 3 days till I realized I was playing a game about theft lol great idea and smooth gameplay. First time seeing a vendor which was a white stick figure caught me off guard but good graphics and game

Very nice graphics and sounds. Unfortunately a bit pointless as you can't fail.
