Don't you just hate when you go shopping and they throw free samples at you? This game was awesome! Art and audio pretty good and the core mechanic so well thought!

Oh man, I'd get sick if I had someone throw shrimp at me all day. Just kidding I like shrimp, and I like this game. The Art was stellar and so charming. This could be further developed into something awesome!

THERE AND BACK - THE SHOWWhat a goofy game with lines like "my very pregnant wife" I was dying at how chaotic the grocery store was. the buckets falling from the sky and the free sample lady hucking shrimp at you. Honestly had a lot of fun with this but like some of the other comments said. Maybe a few more objectives would have been nice but I do like the short and sweet nature of the game.

The Die-GeonVery clever title and way of using the theme. Best part is the free samples lady. I just love the idea of getting free samples thrown at you haha. Great work! I enjoyed it!

Crystal MissionAdorable game.
Concept is simple and immediately understandable.
The art, sound, and characters are lovely.
But, without more variety/challenge in the game play, it's just too shallow.
It needs more depth, more things to do.
All in all,
Perfect for a jam game. I enjoyed it, and I was definitely left "wanting more".

In And Out - Night BurglarI actually really liked the graphics! It does have that Strawdew Valley feel to to it with the player portraits. Great game overall!

60 Seconds to FadeMade me chuckle!
It's a good game. But I think you should increase the difficulty the more you play. Maybe you do and I didn't notice? Idk. After a while I learned the game and there was no challenge anymore.
Also the characters pictures next to the dialogue box started showing the wrong picture after a while...
I love the 'tongue-in-cheek' humour. Very fun. Nice style and the music fits well!

Collect or DieI found it really funny, however the first few times were a bit unclear as to where to go. Overall, really great music and art though!
Submitted
Grow A BitGlad you had a giggle. Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to play :)
I'm sorry you had trouble figuring out where to go! Can I ask if you played normal mode or hard mode? In normal we had a camera pan that shows where the items are before you start - so if that was confusing or didn't work well for you please let us know! Any feedback for game improvement so we can learn is appreciated.
Great job, this game had me cracking up. The controls felt really responsive as well. I also really enjoyed the art.

Bach In TimeI really liked the art, the music, the cut scenes and the humor. The camera panning to let you know where to get the groceries was also a nice touch. As someone else pointed out, it's hard to know if there is an ending to the game.
Submitted
Pushy WormThanks so much for the kind works and for taking the time to play :). We appreciate it!
To true about the ending - it's probably because we had planned a semi ending after 6 levels where everything gets dark and zombies roam the store because you stayed too long - but we ran out of time to make the art/implement the code. We hope to put one after that jam!
Wow, really nice pixel art, love the market!
and really funny game, love the concept!
could you check out my Jam submission? i'll really appreciate it. Thanks!

Magnetic RunReally nice game. I like how you got the real life Collectibles in a game that perfect. Everytime I go to the store know, I think of the food as my collectibles to life longer xD
