Love the idea of making tiny globes, and the art style is kind o cute!

Really good game! It would be helpful if the email descriptions were a bit concise and less vague. Overall great work!

Submitted(+1)

Would be cool if the email also had a little picture hint of what the customers are asking for. Nice entry!

Nice, cute, relaxing game

I really loved the games, but I have one main concern it's the font. It fits with the global art, but it's not easy to read, I would recommend something easier. Otherwise, really good job ! 

Developer

Completely understandable! Noted for next time, thanks for the feedback :D

Congrats on your submission! Really great job doing all of that in just 10 days. I thought it was really cute and the tablet with the tutorial and email was really neat. Great job!

Submitted(+1)

really loved the art style and how cute the game is! Having the tablet to read tutorial & emails etc was such a cool design choice

Great game, congrat.

Great game! Feels super polished, loved the ipad menu, also the itch page looks amazing *chef's kiss*! 

Submitted(+1)

I loved your game! It's a novel approach to a simple concept that allows for an interesting gameplay loop. Having to figure out which of the orders to do in a given day is an engaging puzzle-like mechanic and reading the e-mails is fun in and of itself. It's a bit confusing at first, but after playing a bit you get the git of it. I got one star at the end, but I think I got quite a good number of orders right, probably 50/50, or it's just a wishful thinking of mine lol

Developer(+1)

hahaha, you surely did great - rating isnt quite perfect lol (and 1 star is not the worst rating - it could be half a star (; )

Cute game, I just had fun making my own globes because the customers never came lol Was really fun and interactive, clear to use the 3 pieces together. Music was nice chill vibe, would just combine items for fun honestly.

Developer

lol, you gotta open the shop in the control app (;

Submitted(+1)

cute game with a lot of depth and well put together. love the art style and the dialogue. simple but fun chill mechanics. all together worked very well.

Great Job - A nice pleasant comfy game, with soft music. 

It didn't seem to matter what globe I gave the customers, which was good because I didn't know i had to read the emails at the start. Lots of text to read. Having the tablet with all the info was a great idea. The email system worked well too, I bet that took some time to create! The one thing I think it was lacking was a rewards. At the end of the working day I didn't get anything. It'd be nice to have received a token, counter or money for each globe sold.  Maybe a thank you email would've been interesting.

This game is great! I love it, very very well done.
As others have said, maybe slight confusing at the start but once I figured out the drawers and where the tutorial was it felt good

Submitted(+1)
I loved the idea of the game, very original.
The story of the game is in the emails, it was cool and the sound of the gacha bubble bursting is great.
Submitted(+1)

Cool game concept! I like it. 

 It took me quite a while to understand how the game works, and the wall of texts for tutorial kinda too much for my brain. Another thing, it would really help if you marked the completed order, and also it might help better if the text and background color have more contrast to make it easier to read. 

Aside from that I think this is a good game. 

Developer

yep, its kinda a lot of text - but thanks for the ideas and also thanks for playing! :D

Very good game, i really liked, i enjoy the converations very funny! really good work

Submitted(+1)

This was a cool concept and I loved the dialogues, so funny. I was to nervous to explore some of the options like shutup though just in case but maybe another play through if I get back around haha! Feedback on my experience was I found it a bit awkward finding my way around and understanding the game for a fair portion to be honest. I understood by the end but I got 1* cause I was just vibing making whatever globe hahahah xD. #TheKidShouldDefinitelyStopBreakingTHEGLOBES!!! Nice job on getting this out despite the crunch ^.^

Thanks 🙏 I can definetly get that the game is kinda difficult to understand in the beginning - the explaining couldve been way better but I am glad you had fun with it! (: 

(Little Timmy really is pretty clumsy (; )

I reckon if you had the tablet be the second thing you have to do. Like for example: You see the shop, the tablet pings a notification and we check the introduction email that tells you to look out for messages. And then with the table I kept pressing the buttons to the left of the draw instead of the draw itself. I think if you remove clicking the draw and have it operate all via the buttons it becomes more intuitive (because thats what i was doing ALL THE TIME haha)

Hi, just played your game, what a great concept!  I love the unique idea of building globes, I can see how an extended version would be  a lot o fun to play.  Only thing is, like Miniature Giants said, I built two globes, and then wondered how on earth I was going to fulfil the other orders.  Looked around for an online shop to order more globes but couldn't find a shop lol, so sold the two I had to the wrong customers.  Are you supposed to not break the ones that you dispense at the start apart?  I will try again and see if I missed something.

Apart from the confusion which might be entirely my own fault I really loved the game, I can see myself playing this for hours if it was a full game, it's my kind of game (bit like Sticky Business).  

Developer(+1)

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. In the first day there will be orders from 2 people. You have to prepare the globes that fit their preferences the best with the stuff youve got and then hand them out to the right customer. The insides can be obtained through the gatcha machine (wich can be used multiple times untill you get the one you need[refills daily]) and you can get the base and globe in the drawer. You will not always have exactly what you need to make the game a bit more randomized and there will only be as many globes as there are people to make it a bit more challanging.  Thanks a lot for the feedback - a little patch is already in the works right now, if there is anything else that would need fixing let me know :D

This is a cool project and its a nice take on the theme, so top marks for that. I appreciate the pixel art because I know that that's not easy to do and it has a certain charm to it. I found it a little challenging at first to find my way around the scene and operate the drawer but I figured it out after a while. I only seemed to have 2 globes though, so I read the emails and built the 2 globes to spec and then opened the shop, and the customers who came in wanted different globes that I couldn't build because I'd already used up all the glass. So I sold one of my pre-orders for Frank to Lucas and he seemed happy with that lol. I 'ended the conversation' with the second kid who came in, but he stayed there persistently. So I think these kind of games where you are running/simulating a shop are always awesome concepts - people love this kind of game - yours has a great charm as I said and the selection of sound effects is really good. I think you might benefit from being able to give a more streamlined, simple, tutorial up-front to reduce the initial confusion, and honestly if you refine this and maybe do some touch-ups on the pixel art, you could probably turn this into a web game or even a mobile game that you could monetize. I had fun, so thanks for the awesome addition to the jam!

Developer(+1)

Thanks man, great feedback. Your right some touchups on the tutorial would be benefitial, but the time....
