How does the game fit the theme?
Buy and sell a bunch of junk inside your own pawn shop. But look out for scammers - you can't trust anybody!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I Wanna Be The Chill GuyHow could you make scamming people this fun... is it this thrilling in real life? o.o

Pawn's ParadiseI wanted to keep playing and had to stop lol. This is really polished, fun, and fits the theme super well. I really liked how fleshed out all the different customers were and enjoyed figuring out what each would prefer etc.. really nicely done!

Retirement BattleA solid jam entry this one! Congratulations!
Some critique:
- There is no clear goal at the game start, or at least I missed it (played several times).
- It is not clear which customers are selling and which are buying stuff.

Late Night Pawn ShopThank you so much for the constructive feedback from a fellow pawn shop lover :). We didn't want to push to hard in the direction that the player has to complete the achievements. It was more important for us that the core gameplay loop of scamming the customers and feeling the scam yourself works. the achievements and therefore end goal of the game was supposed to feel optional for player who really liked the core and wanted to keep playing.
Also every customer that has an item is selling that item and every customer can be sold every item in theory but of course some will try to scam you and therefore not agree to every deal offered.
Yeah, your intent is clear, but the bitter thing is that without the goal players would usually play with less engagement. We are just made this way, it is always easier to commit self to something if you have a clear goal, it work in games and in life in general. So consider adding some goal, it could be anything really, a number would work, or getting all achievements, or buying some specific item.
This is soooo polishedddd!! I love how complete the game feels and I love how there's so much details (even with each characters). The game mechanic is also SUPERR addicting. Like I feel like I could play for hours just trying to get all of the achievements and fill up the pawn bible. Audio was simple but veryyy impactful! Hoenstly, I love everything about this game, not much complaints! Awesome work!!!

Trust No <Code>Thank you very much. We are grateful for such high praise. Making the core game play loop as fun and addicting as it feels for you was our main goal. Also a personally thank you for noticing the details in the different characters. It brought a lot of joy to us to make them feel distinct, fun and apply some pop culture references as well ;)
WOW i kept getting scammed lol very cool and fun though, super polished and playable, genuinely really fun and well paced

Trust Fund BabyFeels like a lot of love was put into this game. The art is on point and the gameplay is fun. I ended up getting a perfect shop on day 10. I couldn't really tell when people were trying to scam me without the use of the security camera, but game was super fun and addicting. nice job!

Pawn's ParadiseThank you for your nice and helpful feedback. Yeah the scamming is more of a vibe with our game. You only realize very clearly you've been scammed with time spent in the game and when people not at all pay you close to what you payed for an item :). But than again there is always the next trade around the corner so we are happy it feels addicting to continue playing.
SUPER ADDICTIVE WOW. I'm definitely going to come back to this. Will you develop this game further after the jam?
