The theme usage is very nice. The mechanics are well-executed. There was one point where my money couldn't open any chests, and I didn't know what to do there. Apart from that, the concept, mechanics, and art were great. Well done.

Nice use of the theme. It looks really polished.

Great visuals! Fun concept and I can see the potential for sure! My main issue is that I felt like i wasn't applying any tactic to chests and just randomly picking things, maybe that is just a me-problem though. Great game anyway!

I like the game a lot. The art is absolutely amazing, and I love the concept of the game!

The assets look perfectly polished. I think with a lit bit development this could even become a published game  on other platforms too :). The only issue I ran into was getting stuck after upgrading my chest quality and buying a lot of items, which left me unable to get any chests at all(I got broke!). I skipped bunch of chests but i couldn't open any. Maybe offering much smaller chests could help restore the gameplay loop at that moment. Other than that, the background art and chest assets are truly mesmerizing & idea is really cool!

cute premise! Really impressive art and fun mechanics

Great design and implementation. Smooth tutorial and fair transition between parts. Really nice work from y'all!
Feedback/Food for thought: I thought I am buying the chests from adventurers. So maybe instead of buying the keys I'd switch that to a "buy" mechanic. The character would have great lockpicking skills. For further development you could extend the shop to broaden the amount of honorable adventurers that come to your place. Maybe some adventurers also come for just the opening service and even pay you! (Especially great if you run out of money). To give the loot variety you could have some groups that rotate in and if you sell items they want from the chests directly back to them, build relationships. I'd be happy to see this game going further.

Beautiful art and so well done all around (: idk if the inspo was from harry potter, owl house and adventure time but if so, i see you LOL what a great concept and love the sfx as you shake the chest as well as the battling concept with fighting the mimics! The only problem i ran into is i couldn't find a way to work up from 0 ): i got upgrades, gambled on a $1 chest and ended up with 0 LOL

Very cool game. I loved the art. Fighting those mimics was all worth it for a sock.

on of the best games from the jam in my opinion great art and music and really addicting gameplay , amazing game 

Submitted(+2)

The visuals are really good. I loved the background and the different chest designs. It was fun shaking the chests around and hearing the clinking inside of them

Submitted(+2)

The art is really well done! I really enjoyed the game.  It was a bit annoying to be forced to spam refresh to find a chest i could afford in the later stages after I splurged at the shop. Would gamble for a sock again!
