How does your game meet GBJam's theme
So we went with a Pawn Shop theme, because you're buying old stuff from other people and can end up with some cool finds.

I like it. Profit, profit, profit! You wanted constructed feedback - it's just random whether someone agree or not, I can't predict anything. But whole game is solid and well made. I think you nailed it :)

Wow, lots of fun!  

I felt like a sick b*stard every time I tried to highball the old dude, but damn it felt good.  Super cute game with lots of character!

The graphics and sound conveyed the right atmosphere/vibe, very well done.  The dialogue was well written, and was very important to help the player deduce who was worth hustling.

I'm glad you had fun, thanks for playing and for the kind words!

Great game! I just completed the 5-days. The gameplay loop is solid and has a good foundation to build on. With the addition of a few expanded mechanics, this easily has the potential for a full release. Awesome job!

Thank you so much! We had a lot of ideas but we had to rein it in for the jam timeline, but I'd like to keep poking at it in the future.

What a great fun game!!! Really enjoyed the gameplay loop. The pixel art and music/sfx are great too!

The only thing that confused me a little were the "same item/different prices" that existed in the game. I mean, realistically, it makes sense, but it confused me as a player xD

But great game, super fun.

Congrats!!!

Thank you for the kind words!

I did not have time for a proper tutorial unfortunately, so I will have to convey the differences in items better in the future. :)

Really loved this! The music and art are really fun and the gameplay is unique and satisfying (I love ripping people off.) + Really well polished! My only complaint is that sometimes you'll get a day where no one wants to buy anything, even if you have hype.

Hey thanks for playing and the kind words! I've gotten that same feedback, I'm definitely gonna have to explore some more options for weighting the events especially if you have a full shop.
