How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Antiques Hold requires the player to run a pawn shop where customers sell their old gold. There might also be some colour references 👀

I think you need to add some music in the game to give it bit lively GB title. Also, for improvements, you might need to restock some gold if you want the customers to sell more antiques.

The experience overall is quite coarse, with perhaps the most noticeable blemish being a complete lack of audio. On the other hand, I appreciate the unique perspective taken to the theme. A finished core gameplay loop would posit an experience distinct in style and flare from other entries in this jam.

The concept is fun, I love running my little shop! The inspection and cleaning minigames are fun. I'd love to see some more in the future. Maybe pouring over other items with magnifying glasses or something. You have a great foundation here. 

Graphics get the job done. Not awful, not mind blowing. Could stand to get some juice like animation and variety. 

No music or sfx. Totally understandable, we don't have much time. Still, can't give a good score for that part. 

Gameboy Soul is here. 

Quirkiness in spades. I think you have a real unique idea here and I'd love to see you build on it with even more.

Secondary theme interpretation is pretty good! Items are old, they are gold. Check and check!

You got a cool idea and a nice foundation for it! The cleaning minigame is neat and overall what we have is not bad, just needs more time in the oven. More variations, minigames, maybe a place where you can always sell, just for less.

Graphics wise the game is okay, lacks animations and probably some scene transitions could elevate it a bit more!

sfx and mx are missing completely. I can advise bfxr or similar tools, alternatively use audacitiy to do some sfx yourself and bitcrush them for the gameboy feel!

Good idea to build upon, well done!

Running a pawn shop for old gold is such a neat idea. Definitely has that Game Boy charm, and I love the little apron lol.

Would love to see more stuff to do behind the counter. There's a lot you could do with this concept!

Very interesting concept.

I did find it a bit odd that 5 divorced people came back to back to the pawn shop, but it is what it is, rough days innit.

Overall I do think this has the soul of the gameboy in place. Good job!

I get it!  Your customers are ghosts and spirits.  THAT is why they go through walls.  Dang, you are a total genius at this!  :D

Cool concept and I love my little apron :)

The game has potential but is lacking as all you do is just stand in your place and wait for customers to come in and can't interact with anything else.

Hope you try and finish it!
