I enjoyed this. I was proper jigging to the shop music.

Good stuff!

Thanks for playing my game! The music was an asset I used, but I guess I can take credit for picking a good one! lol

Really enjoyed this. Really creative take on the theme. Your hand-drawn art was a really nice touch and the music tied in really well. I started boppin' my head as soon as I opened the store!

Great job!

A really fun game! I liked reading the item descriptions and trying to figure out what would keep my store safe from harm. I could see myself getting lost in this for hours if it ended up becoming a fully fledged game! Great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! I might work on it some more after the jam. Everyone that commented seemed to like it.

Nice implementation of the Zzz Wildcard, making the store rest is a great idea.
Nice

I love this game and the idea! I was just about to get the $1000 needed to pay off my debt and then an angry mob busted down the store. I love the creativity of the items, and I got a few laughs out of the some of the curses. Awesome entry!

Thanks for the review! I'm really happy people liked my little quips!

The concept is really cool. 

I went bankrupt the first time after moving, but I passed the 60 day mark on my second game. 

The visual is simple, but very effective. 

Very happy to have played it!

Thank you for the kind review!

Nice game! I enjoyed reading the funny descriptions of the items, which probably led me to research far more stuff than I needed. Finally managed to pay off my debt, though :)

Developer

I'm glad you like my items. I had fun thinking up a bunch of them!

I really liked  this game! The concept is cool, and the atmosphere with how it's presented is just awesome. I really love it. If I had to give some feedback, I'd probably say just a few small things here and there could have been improved.

For some items it was hard to tell if they would sell well in a certain season or not. 

The art is good enough for me to understand what's going on, which I feel like is something a good few games in these game jams miss out on, and as someone who still also kinda sucks at drawing, I get why it's not exactly triple A graphics.

I had a lot of fun playing the game though. I got to about 800$ before having a game over, and I enjoyed the experience. Well done!

Thank you so much for the nice review! Yeah, if I decide to work on it more, I'd add better hints for seasons or maybe an upgrade to give more insight.
