Awesome game! I loved the art style and the mechanics are impressively deep for just a week of work. Good job!

How does the game fit the theme?
Mindlessly buying objects from your customer will leave you poor, scammed by the cunning. You cant trust anyone as you haggle your way to a more convenient price and inspect the object to really pin them down
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

It was fun to play. I didn’t know inspecting the item takes AP xD
Everything was pretty good, the art and gameplay, music gets repetitive after a while but it was adding to the experience. Nice one!
Nice artwork. I couldn't quite figure out how the item inspection was suppose to work but I at least won the game! Here's a video of my play through:
:ove pawn games. Wish there were more items. I think i had enough cash to win by day 2. Interesting system.
I'm suspicious of the guy selling me my medicine, but also to that one adventurer lady who wouldn't negotiate price with me even after I found flaws in her ring and lost me money, I will never forgive you. But by the time I got to the middle of the week the loop was kinda meditative, I made bank :y
A real awsome game for sure. I made the 7 days with easy I still had 4K left in my wallet (hope that was good). I kinda just negotiated always and had always profit for maybe like 3 times i been robbed each day.
I really loved the art and sounds, music was good aswel just weird when it get's a bit lower tuned (dark vibe). But overall a 5 star game worth.
Really fun idea, I loved the pawn shop theme and trying to find problems with the items to get the price lower was actually really satisfying. The art also looks great and everything feels pretty polished. After a while it does get a bit repetitive though, I think more items and different customers would make it way better, but overall I had a lot of fun with it!
Good one, nice idea and mechanics, but so repetitive, like i memorized the real price or every item there by day 2
Fun game with some nice visuals, unfortunately it lacks variety in items and characters which leads to some repetition in the 7 days, but that's expected in the limited time frame of the jam, there was also a item info panel that appears on the right for a moment when i click to inspect that i can't see properly.
Overall a fun experience that i would like to see expanded in the future.
Love the pawn shop theme! The art is great and the inspection mechanic was unique. The game makes me wish we added more money related things into our own game. Thanks for making it!
i'm on a quest to play every pawn shop game submitted to this jam, and yours was an interesting take.
i liked the artstyle, though i didn't like the lack of consistency in the levels of detail of sellers. some seem like placeholders and the seller who appears on the cover of the game's just much more detailed. i think it would've been better to leave them all as polished as the placeholders, cause that way, they wouldn't really feel like placeholders. though i think i understand why this happened, cause one week is indeed a short amount of time and this game was probably pretty demanding in the art department.
but good job! making a good haggling system is complicated and yours is really good. also, the ui is extremely polished.
Interesting. So this does remind me of Dealer's life but you basically only have the buy mechanic. It's certainly unique in the way that you have to play a minigame to discover flaws with which you can haggle sellers down. Then also, the minigame could have a lot more diversity, so it feels like wasted potential here. The gameplay does get pretty bland after Day 1 and I managed to survive by only going to the next seller, so that was also a thing. Theme is there and pretty okay. Overall a nice game.
Love the visuals and music. Would love more items variety. Overall very interesting game.
We added your game in our post mortem, i hope this is okay (itch.io somehow messed up the links to the games)
This is a smart take on the theme. Love the character art. The presentation is overall very polished, but the font is a little too small and the seller info often gets cut off in the text box. This feels like it could definitely work as a full release in the future though. The core loop is really solid.
I recently discovered my love for pawn shop games, so this was right up my alley! ;-)
Not only does the visual style fit a game jam project perfectly, but I am also genuinely a little jealous of your inspect mechanic! The mini-game feels super satisfying to interact with and does a fantastic job of selling what you are actually doing behind the counter.
Cool game! I really enjoyed gameplay and completed whole game! But it seems like some of the ui elements are bugged or sth.
