Interesting concept but really unclear.

I think I get it, you just have to make sure you have enough resources to keep the tour going, but is there anything you can do to influence this?

All I could do was click the next show and the van would automatically travel, automatically play the show, and eventually break down. Does my money/resources depend on the quality of the band members?

I like the grungy sounding music and the classic MS paint lookin art style, but the game needs more instructions and some more control and player feedback. It felt like I was just watching the game play itself.

In short yes. I pivoted my grand idea into a more "slot machine" typed game. Yes, there is a system hats checking for "Bandmate Performance" that dictates if you get a good, bad, both not nothing out some when colliding with each location and each location gives u a set amount of resources dependent on the bandmates you choose.    

Then I add clickable noise makers to make it the game more like a toy and a track me a my bro jammed that one time.

I should and will put that the games a slot machine and its oods are like 1 out of 10 try

I trying to make the game as fail proof as I could so the player couldnt muck up to bad. I had no play tester so im sure lots is unclear despite my effort.  

My only question is Did you have Fun despite the games glaring flaws??

I ask cuz it is not the the voting critera and I feel its one of the most importin, more so then a good gdd.

TYVM for playing M8 ill see ya in the next jam :) cheers

I enjoyed at first because of the art, the music, and the overall vibe. It wasn’t until a couple rounds when I hit a wall that I bounced off of it.

I think if you clarify that the game is purely a random roll based on your chosen band members, it would be better received. Currently the confusion can lead to frustration because the game tells you that you lost but you have no idea why. It felt more like I misclicked an input or didn’t read the instructions properly than just getting a bad draw

But still, it’s a solid entry for a jam game as it is playable and fool proof as you say. Just needs some more clarity up front so the player knows what to expect
