Very nice and enjoyable experience. The maze-arm is hilarious, and the washing of the item very satisfying. Well done!

It would be nice to know the progress…first I didn’t realize that I can dig out several items at once, so I went back and forth to the shop.

Really nice looking game. loved how you guided the player through the whole process of finding and selling items

Nice game with a sad twist. In my opinion (music junkie) a BGM would have delivered so much vibes, yet a nice cozy game.

A pretty enjoyable game.

I really liked all the mini-games for prepping items for sale. The color palette is great, too—it really gives off a Game Boy vibe.

I’d love to see a soundtrack and a money mechanic added to the game. It would also be good if the hand snapped back to the start position after an incorrect turn while searching for an item; that would introduce a risk of making a mistake.

Really fun game! I had a great time playing it, and I especially liked the art style.

I would have liked some kind of score or progress indicator, just to have a better idea of how close I was to reaching the end.

A lovely game ! The art is great and varied and having so many different mini-games was ambitious but everything worked well ! I laughed out loud when the lady just shoved her 8m arm in the sand, that was a bit unexpected !

I also loved all the different object sprites and the smooth transitions.

Optional observations / constructive criticism if you'd like to continue working on this game after the jam :

  • I would have liked a soft indicator to see the money I earned vs the money I had to make (maybe a chest getting filled or something like that)
  • The sound of the waves is lovely and on the beach the audio is perfect as-is, but in the shop I would have liked some background music for the clients and me :)
  • In the washing mini-game, I struggled a bit to see why some particles were washed and not others below them, I would have appreciated an indicator to better see what I was doing. Maybe the particles start to shake when they're under the water ? or maybe that's just a me problem ^^

I had a great time, thank you very much !
