Haha, when I was walking around the shops buying everything I did think I'd run out of money. But I figured there was going to be a way of getting back some money to keep doing tasks. You fooled me well!
Well done. The story is good and the graphics are cute.
My suggestions:
- I think diagonal movement would be good for this game. Just 4 directions is weird when you're not constrained to a grid.
- When you walk to the edge of the playing area, there are just invisible walls. I'd probably prefer it if there was a more physical reason why you can't walk further, like some mountains/forest to the north and the river to the south, for example.
- The town itself, which is the focus of the game, is not very interesting. I'd add some more houses North and South, or maybe some more features, just for decoration.
But the game itself is fun! Well done!
