Thank you so much for the kind and detailed review, and for playing our game :D
I'm glad that you enjoyed many aspects of the game, and that we managed to cause you some trust issues, fitting for the theme haha.
Firstly, congrats on tackling your first game jam (and doing it alone! I was not so brave and teamed up xD)
Before I mention anything about the game itself I must say that it is a great idea to publish the dev logs, I haven't seen anyone else do it and it is both a great organizing tool for the dev and really nice for the players who can see the progression and thought process behind the game development.
The game itself is really good. it is always great to have a "how to play" page especially for games with more complexity or mechanics. The art is really "smooth" for lack of a better word haha, just feels easy on the eyes and everything matches. The audio really seals the deal and gives the whole experience the finishing touch.
The game is simple but very fun and can be replayed multiple times, over and over without feeling repetitive, and is very impressive for a game made in one week
Really nice entry and again congrats for finishing your first game jam :D
Thank you very much for the detailed and warm review. I'm glad you enjoyed the aesthetics, story and sounds. And you definitely hit the nail on the head on every constructive criticism you have: The HUD was supposed to be completely different and fit the rest of the theme but sadly we didn't manage to polish it in time so we had to stick with the prototype, and we really wanted to have a higher resolution art for the chat pictures but again a combination of the time constraints and just both of us not being very artistic haha. We will definitely use this jam as a learning experience for future jams and games in general.
Thank you very much for playing our game :D
This game is ADDICTING! Really nice retro art and music, and the sound effects are just perfect. The upgrades are really cool (especially the machine with the snake minigame!) and it's nice that the customers have preferred items that fit their aesthetic.
Overall simple but fun game and fitting the theme perfectly :D

Really fun and feels great, with enough challenge to hook you in and feel rewarding when you beat levels. I will say however that I didn't really get the parts where the arrow pointed outside (not the ones where you need to drop to the door, the ones like the six seven lasers level) and it felt kinda random but that could also be skill issue.
Really fun and really nice entry :D
