Good work! I felt really bad running a business in such a brutal fashion, though.
I think the game can be very fun. I myself am not really someone who plays manager/simulator games, but i see the appeal. I feel like this game has a lot of potential.
I sold everything but one shelf and all the people stood around it. I think they were happy.
cool idea, unfortunately its a bit too complicated for my dumb brain 💀
Very interesting take on the theme, even though I felt a bit sad having to size down a store :') Good job!
Interesting take on the theme! Easy to understand but sadly it doesn't feel like I have too much control. Otherwise it's good
Very cool take on the theme! I feel like the tutorial tried to explain stuff a bit too fast (and with way too large of text) so it was kind of hard to figure out what I was actually doing. I ended up just pretty much going through each day without doing anything, and wasn't really sure if there was anything I should be doing to get a better score.
It is an interesting game for this type of theme, unique so to say. I did however enjoy trying to down the business.
There wasn't much that I wasn't a fan of, it had a great tutorial, which explains practically everything needed.
I will however add that the assets used could've added a lot more to the game, UI and assets. It was very basic in a sense that it got old quick. (if you know what I mean) So adding some better assets with more designs cleaning up the UI. And maybe having to use a slightly different font (or not capitalising everything) will definitely make a huge different. I like the game mechanics overall.
Very nostalgic for me, because my first ever game jam gam was made using the very same assert pack from Kenney. Also a unique take on the theme (at least among the games I played so far). Good job!
Interesting idea! Scaling a business down instead of up turns the business balancing act on its head, trying to skirt the line of making a profit for as long as possible before shuttering the business for good. Unfortunately, I feel like the lack of trend info (like how quickly I'm losing money or how many fewer customers I had today than yesterday) means that by the time I realize I need to make a change, it'll already be two days before I'll see an impact. I think this could be good if given a bit more time and some more tools for the player to use, like charts or additional things we can purchase/sell. Good job on the entry!
Curious game idea! Impressive that you got a leaderboard in. The UI was sometimes a bit overwhelming with overlapping windows, but overall a decent game!
Having to scale down a business instead of the opposite is super clever. The gameplay is easy to understand. The leaderboard is a really nice addition!
What a completed game! Good balancing. I would like to extend my business even more!
