Very nice concept! Sadly there isn’t much to do in it, but looking at the planned list of changes, it sounds like it’ll get a lot more interesting! I wish you good luck with updating the game!

Had a good time with this one! I admit that I was a bit lost at the beginning and was just buying thing at random, but once I got the gameplay I really enjoyed it! I can see this game become much better with enough time. I saw on the game´s page what were your goals for the project once the jam ends and it seems to be heading in a good direction. Good luck and great job for your first game jam!

Developer

Glad to hear that you think it has potential! Thanks for the feedback!

It would be nice to have some strategy for running your merchant shop that players buy/sell from like each type of ware could have its advantages and drawbacks. This is only a base for something bigger and more fleshed out in the future. You should stick with it :)

Developer

Thanks! I definitely plan to stick with it!

Not a bad idea in concept, but I wish there would have been a little more to this game than just clicking some buttons and watching numbers go up or down. It takes such a long time to get through the day, too. For a little while I wondered whether there wasn’t anything else to the game, and just buying things was the point; in many games vendors seem to have infinitely deep pockets and just buy whatever you’re offering, and we never really think about the absurdity of it. I think a game focused on that absurdity would have been a little more creative, and it might have made the rather plain presentation feel a little more justified.

Not a bad effort overall, I think. Just try focusing a little more on making the core gameplay loop feel fun.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. I definitely will be working more on making it feel like an actual game in the future

It is an interesting idea but you might wanna add a tutorial and maybe some use for making money!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Will do in a future update.

Neat idea, its a bit confusing while playing but if its your first jam, its already an achievement to finish hit and I didn't find any bugs or actual issues while playing 👍

Developer

I appreciate it! A lack of bugs is always a good thing to hear!
