Lots of shady customers huh!? Lol well done ! Full 5s :D 

(Our game is still in need of a few ratings so if you could take the time that would be appreciated <3)

Everything I could rate for this game is done very well. Sound design is good, matches the atmosphere. Art is well done and has alot of personality. I like that you stamp their faces instead of a paper. From a gameplay perspective, It's really fun comparing your information to the item itself. Awesome work to you all.

I really enjoyed this game! I'll wait for the final version! Congrats ! Good Work!

This game is fantastic. I love the art, the customers are really cute, I love being able to click on stuff on the desk. The minecraft parody songs on the radio actually killed me. I love this one. I got too into playing infinite mode for a bit before remembering to actually rate and review. 

Developer

I'm glad some people notice all the little details! It's not necessary, but makes the experience feel so much more immersive :)  Thank you for playing and for your kind words.

This are visual's I would pay for

It became quite hypnotic in a good day. 

I enjoy this new wave of store games, and this one is very fun. The graphics are fun (I would recommend a PS1 look for the characters) and the PC was a great idea!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and thank you for your feedback as well.

Amazing game! The characters are all so cute! I like how you get better at identifying the fake items as you play. Also, great job dodging those copyright claims haha

Developer

LOL thank you.

I love ow you can research items on the computer. Also the ps-1 graphics are majestic. Nice game loop too I think out of all games I rated I spent the most time here. My game also has ps-1 graphics - atleast I tried but its not as good as yours. Amazing game! Full 5 starts! Also really love how you literally stamp people lol

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! We had a lot of fun making the game loop, it got very addicting to play ourselves.

Knew I was in for gold when I heard revenge on start up Game has a lot of potential, it is basically like papers please but it executes it well, the models look great and inspection works well as well. Was really fun learning the ins and outs of each item (Boy did I end every day in the negatives though)

Developer

Paper's please was a big inspo! Also we may have made the money made from buying real items a little too realistic, so if you buy even one fake it tanks your money. Thanks for your feedback, we appreciate you playing our game!

The PS1-style objects look so good, and the whole game feels incredibly cozy. Enjoyable gameplay!

Developer

Cozy was the goal! Glad to hear praise from someone whose game we thought was so well made!

We added your game in our post mortem, i hope this is okay (itch.io somehow messed up the links to the games)

Developer

Of course!!! That's super kind of you

Great game and really good gameloop

Developer

Thank you! We'd like to polish some parts of it even more!

Submitted(+1)

Really great artstyle and nice gameloop. Also a fellow pawnshop game :)

Developer

Appreciate you taking the time to play! Pawnshops seemed to be a popular option  (^^ゞ

This was superb, and it ran fine in browser after a few seconds. I thought I'd become an expert at identifying goober ducks until a kitty cat came in and scammed me! The visuals are fantastic I love the mix of 3d and 2d, well done great game.

Developer

It's always the kitty LOL. Thank you for your feedback!

Submitted(+2)

Really enjoyed this one! I loved the visual style aswell as the humor

Developer

thank you for your kind words!

I recently discovered my love for pawn shop games, so this was right up my alley! ;-)

Your game feels super polished and I love all the attention to detail: clicking around the shop, the soundtrack switching to karaoke (?), and oh god, did I get completely scammed on the eyerizz ring! The inspect mechanic makes it feel totally fair when you do get tricked, though.

Really fun and well-crafted entry!

Developer

Praise means a lot coming from you when you had such a banger pawn shop game.  Thank you for your feedback as well! The songs on the radio was from a cover album I did ages ago that one of our members put in their for fun.

the art style is impeccable. gameplay's just so immersive, it really made me feel like i was actually an expert towards the end of the game, when i was already able to tell whether items were real or fake at a glance.

kudos to all of you. fantastic work.

also, i beat the game on a web browser and it was totally playable. it just freezed a bit at the beginning, but everything went pretty smoothly after that!

Developer(+1)

Oh my goodness thank you for your such kind words! I'm glad to see people are able to master the craft of the pawn's paradise. hearing praise from another pawn shop game also means a lot LOL

Realy cool game, loved the sound effect and even how many things in the scenario are interactable. Realy polished for 7 days and a 3 people team, even if some 3D assets were from outside sources. I also loved the bouncyness of the game overall.
