Game Description
You are Emily, a woman that just received her first paycheck and has to resist the urge to buy absolutely everything.
How does your game tie into the theme?
Consumerism, in the game you buy stuff not because you need it but because you were promised it would make you feel good.

sonic emily gooooooo! it takes a lot of training to be a pro consumer...
i loved the replayability in this, and really nice artwork!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the artwork, since it isn't my strong suit!
I really like the incremental mechanic and the theme. Great job!
Great job with the art and overall style. Loved the main character and the game play loop was very satisfying as well.
Well... what am I going to do with 500 pants now...
But seriously, at first I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to be doing, but once I got going it was quite addicting and very fun! I only went over budged a *handful* of times and who needs sleep anyways amiright? You definitely managed to get me addicted to buying all the things (I hope there wasn't a secret item that's not in the wardrobe that I missed)
A few things I would like to point out: Some of the jumps felt impossible because the mirror I needed to dodge wasn't on screen yet when I started to jump, maybe an analog jump - you jump longer the longer you press space for - would help here? And some of the items overlapped making it impossible to buy some things
Still great game though! I really like the graphics and the music fits well, great job!
Sounds like you had fun with it! Yeah the jump wasn't tweaked because of time. If I could modify it now I would probably either A) make mirrors spawn within a certain distance of each other or B) make jump holdable. The stacked items I don't think it's much of a problem because if you really want one you should go back for it and buy the ones on top until you can get to it if you can. (I wasn't so evil as to include a super secret item not listed in the wardrobe, but glad you had that question lol)
Nice game idea! I think you could rework the controls a bit so you don't have to use the mouse. It would play a bit easier that way I think. but overall good job! and nice art too!
Actually, the first iteration didn't use the mouse! The gameplay was too trivial the playtester said it missed something and suggested mouse control which in my opinion was a good call. Glad you liked the art!
I was not expecting to have as much fun with this one as I did. It was delightful. I loved the satire and poking fun of consumerism. The movement animation of the character at max speed gave me Sonic vibes in all the best ways. Well done.
The character art was inspired by sonic, I tried not to make the character hair sonic like but hair going fast kinda looks like that lul. Glad you had fun!
Pretty fun, I liked how you start to move faster as the levels progresses. I liked the satirical aspect too. Also AMONG US

Wow such a fun game. I immidietaly got hooked wanting to buy everything. At first the controls felt weird because the character slows down a lot but it definetely fits when you running. Music and sfx are also very fitting for this type of game. Great work!
This was so addicting. I spent like 40 minutes playing just this game, and I still never finished the wardrobe. Maybe after the jam I'll go for it. Very cute visuals, fun music and simple gameplay, its a great game!
One of the best compliments I can get, thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game! Loved having to grab the best items on the go, but found it a little hard at the max speed with finicky grab areas and overlapping items. Also rage inducing to get full stopped by the mirrors but that's a skill issue lol I'd love for an arcadey expansion on this!
Yeah those are probably the biggest flaws and also the hardest to fix lol. Glad you liked it!
Good concept nice use of the theme! At first it seemed very basic but it's a nice progression with the upgrades menu to collect all the items. Nice one!
Than you! Glad you enjoyed the game!
Loved the take on the theme, for more inclusion it would have been nice to be able to choose your character between a man and a woman, but great stuff in this game, loved the collection screen which make me play way longer than necessary x)
Not a bad request but I would've died having to do x2 dialogs and animation lol. Glad you enjoyed the collection system!
Really fun loop. Managing different resources and unlocking upgrades felt motivating. I had to kind of get used to the controls, but it didn't take long to get the hang of it. Also thanks for adding a collection screen, it's things like that that really hook me, so I had to play through to the end lol.
Glad you enjoyed the item gallery. It's such a small thing and I wasn't sure how much it would add so I'm glad you liked it.
Simple but addicting, good take on the theme. Cute art and catchy tune.
Possible skill issue but I sometimes struggled with dragging the clothes onto the character.
Not a skill issue, I also had trouble sometimes. if I were to work on this further I would definitely improve the hitboxes. Glad you enjoyed the game!
underrated
I love this idea, especially the interesting take on the theme. Was a lot of fun too, even as in real life I don't like shopping at all, here it was just cool.
Great game.
Graphics, while simple, work great to distinguish between different items. (Is that nanosuit boots from IC2? xD)
Music is catchy. SFXs are on point to poke monkey brain correct way.
Crushed into mirrors way too many times, but it never felt as game’s fault.
“Take a fat nap” indeed, you deserved it :D
There's many references, unfortunately nanosuit boots isn't one of them, the good thing about pixelart is that you can interpret it in many ways sometimes. Glad you liked the game!
Fantastic!! I Love tycoon games. The teenage girl in a mall theme was awesome, really wish I could go to the mall where shoes cost 2.5 ! My only thing is that, playing in fullscreen, I wish the game was a bit zoomed out or slower maybe, as it got to be a bit hard to follow all the flashing moving colors on my screen. Otherwise, I was really hooked on this gem, great job!!
I'm sorry to inform you but the ones at 2.5 were socks :_( . I do agree that at one point I felt kinda dizzy looking at the clothes. Glad you enjoyed the game
Really enjoyed the game!
The game seems grinding at first (i attempted to collect every item at the beginning but, once i realized that the discount gives extra SP points, i focused on getting the sale items)
Didn't expect consume theme be linked to consumerism which i think it's really clever!
One small complain would be that while running and you jumped in the air, if you were to turn around while in the air (go to the opposite side), it wouldn't lose momentum of the run (only losing speed if on the ground), making it easier to avoid the mirrors on the ground but other than that, good game!
Yeah the jumping could be improved, glad you liked the game!
