Lol i got fine $16 when a customer slipping. Never use that power again. Although it was given by a tsundere co-worker. I love the art, the vibe. And also the rythm shooting game is too fun too. The game itself doesn't punish you too much when you fail. I think the game need more character animations in the future development. The UI is so good and animated. The sfx is on point. Good job for the dev!

WOW, crazy game. Definelty one of the best at representing the theme, this really feels like a genre collision. My only problem, i didnt need to use much the other powers, i felt like penalties were too much for using them. But the rest, amazing.

Nice work, the game was very fun! The pacing and polish of the game is very solid, and it had a fun hectic energy to it in the later stages

Quite enjoyable to play. Great job on getting it very playable with good game feel and effects.

The tower defense aspect of the game didn't really come through for me as it plays more like a typical action game, and a fairly frantic one at that. I only placed one shelf the whole game, since having more felt like they would just get in my way. I respect you putting so many different genres into the same game and each of them does have its own level of polish, but I do feel like the dating sim part and the nighttime rhythm shooter are both pretty shallow and don't really add anything to the more interesting part for me which is the super market / action /tower defense loop. Just my $0.02 that I would have loved to see that part fleshed out and explored more.
