Really fun! Not sure if this was an intended strategy but I liked to steal items customers didn't care about so I could give them to others haha. I also liked that certain clothing items could cover multiple needs (ex. rainbow hat) and it was fun trying to save up the good stuff when nothing else was available. Nice work!
I want to provide for all the needs of all the sea creatures no matter what but there's never enough supply to avoid sending some of them off sad
I love stealing the stickers and hats off my customers LOL. This game was pretty fun and the art is so silly! I think after a certain point, it gets really hard to lower your percentage since I assume its averaged throughout the entire session? Either way, very silly game!
Very fun game. Reminds me of the Papa's x-eria games. I find the ability to steal from the customers is very silly and unique. Great job!
I loved stealing from my customers that part was really fun to me. The gameplay is decently fun I wish there was better boxes throughout the days so I didn't have to just ignore some customers but I did love the gameplay and got a little lost in it.
This game was so cute and so fun and it reminded me of games I grew up playing on the family computer :D so charming
My first thought was that this game was really cute and well themed!
The music is cute and playful which I really enjoyed, and it ties in very well with the theming of the game and art :) I did, however, have a problem where the music failed to loop after the first approx. 30 seconds of playtime. My single most favorite part of this game is the happy expression for when you're done with a character, something about how smiley the characters look is so contagious :))) I kept finding myself grinning whenever I was done with them!
I really like how there were conditions for the color of sticker each character wanted, I found it fun and like how it constrained your ability to appease every character. I do think it would be really cool if it was harder to make ever customer happy, as I think that would make players more likely to think longer and use more tact in their styling activities!
When cleaning shells, I find that in at least one sprite some of the grime was sightly off of the shell in a way that made it hard to see where the grime was against the background. I think that having a little outline in a bright color around the edges of the grime could make it easier to see if any problem arises where the grime isn't quite fully on the shell. Another suggestion for shell cleaning is that a circular reticle around the cursor could really help. I found myself kind of guessing how much grime would be removed in every click, and if there was an indicator or reticle it would've been easier to place the cursor.
I found myself most enjoying the shop box lottery! It was a fun little treat at the end of a day to be able to open a box and get cute decor, although if you had more time I think it would've been really cool to see even more than shells, hats, and stickers! That leads me to the point that the gameplay is fun, but gets repetitive after a couple days, although for the time we had allotted I do truly think that this game is pretty well put together. All in all, I didn't find many bugs and the theme was well put together!
Cute little game :)
Thanks so much for your critique and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree with the points that you've made and I'll keep them in mind for if I continue development.
I loved this! Very fun and cute.
