Interesting take on the theme, I liked the unique (at least to me so far) interpretation. The artwork was really good to say it was for a 7-day jam.

The main criticism I would give it is that it very quickly gets repetitive. Perhaps some other mechanics or some more interaction with customers might help.

Well done!

I really like this take on the theme, and the artwork was pretty good, I also loved that you took the time to spruce up the store page, nice work!

Interesting concept. I did however always Barter cause this felt like the optimal way to make more money. That made it so my inventory was almost always empty and made it way easier to spot Mimics. Maybe having more customers in a day could balance that better.

All in all, good idea!

Good job!

Very cute graphics, music and sounds were fitting. I think I did pretty well, but I did get eaten by a grue mimic.  Very good interpretation on the theme, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Very good, i like anomaly type games.
The inventory system was a little fiddly with the last item you buy being in your hand, but I got used to it.
Shame there wasn't a sell mechanic implement.

Theme was met, and the additional requirement was met too.

Overall a fun game!

There is a sell mechanic. I feel as though I did not communicate it properly, but at the end of each day it tells you what items travelers have purchased from your inventory, so you just have to hold onto them until a traveler decides to buy it. Thanks though!

I like the art style. I also like the inventory system. I love how the theme was implemented!
