Had a lot of fun playing this. Probably my favourite game of the jam so far.

Though, I have some questions :
-Is there a way to lose ? I didn't seem to find one, and as such, it made the game feel infinite with no real purpose to continue. Even more since VHS are coming way faster than you can rewind them, which results in a depressing growing stack of 200 vhs.
-What is the point of the "Level 1" ? And the money ? I played for quite some times, but the first one never changed, and the other was only going up, so both felt pointless.
-Also, does every genre has the same odds of appearing ? Cause I was drowned by action/adventure/comedies, but didn't see a western or a fiction until I was at something like 700$, while they were empty. So, I don't know if I'm just being unlucky, but that was weird. If it's fully random, you should try tweaking it so it tends to favor your empty/close to empty genres.
-How is the character fat, with his day job making him run 400km, with stairs, every day ?

But as I said, that game was a lot of fun. Graphisms were good for a jam, and I was impressed by the work on the background. The music is quiet enough to not becoming painful after too many loops, while also being quite long, for jam standards.

So, in the end, I realized there wasn't a collider on the exit of the store, and made my character quit his job to become the marathon runner he always was meant to be.

Hi. Thank you for playing and for your comment.
Let me answer your questions:
- No, right now there's no way to loose.
- Level and money: run out of time for implementing the shop system. The table with the phone and the newspaper has this purpose, even part of the script, but have to cut it or I wouldn't been able to upload in time for the Jam.
- No, they don't. I start adding films based on what I watched or remembered. Added 75 films. Then, during playtest I realize the issue you point: lots of Action/Adventure/Comedy films, but very few on the other Genres. The tweek you mention is part of the upgrade I'm working on right now 😉
- One of the unfair mysteries of the genetics.
- Yes, the background was a fun idea I stole from other project i'm working on. Been creating buildings for that other project, so i had a lot of practice for doing them fast. And the music... is not the best point of the game, I know. Finished writing it just 2 hours before the Jam ends.

About the store exit... yeah! Run Bob! Be free! But realize that if you do so, the store will bankrupt and close!

Stay tuned for the update that will include: Shop System / Upgrade VCR System / Increasing difficult / More balanced movies / and a lot more fun!
Thanks again for your words
