really dig the art style! i find the gameplay drags a bit, and i'm not 100% sure of all the items in the shop besides the necessary upgrades greying out and becoming 'too expensive' is intentional and doing the 'fake ingame shop' optional limitation or not, if it is it feels more like a bug than a conveyance of 'not real'.
the art style is great tho! and the dialogue is cute and funny, i found myself chuckling at some of it c: I wish that the detector made a more definitive noise when directly over an item, as it became a bit frustrating snaking around on like 4 tiles trying to find the right one haha. all in all This is a solid submission great job c:
