I think this was a good first try at making a game! The movement could use some work, as it isn't entirely fluid and will sometimes move diagonally if I am still holding the W key and I let go of either the A or D key. A timer would have also been helpful to implement in the game so that I know how much time I have left to go out and scam people, as well as some sound cues to let me know who bought my scheme and who didn't. Some optional suggestions to think about as well is instead of leaving the selling part up to chance, maybe implement some sort of dialog system where you have to select a choice in order to convince the person to buy into your scheme, otherwise the only way to get a high score in this game is just based on pure luck. 

Good job at making your first game! I hope you end up making more games in the future!

Cool game, can you also check my game? it will mean a lot to me

Submitted

Cool concept and great work for your first game!!

Submitted

I sold 4 and made $5000! Good job on putting your first game out!

Submitted

cool concept, I agree with curlyGloblin , maybe show the the timer,and  the number of sales made during game play .

Submitted

Nice first try with the coding movement! It would be great to have feedback when you make a sale to get the player feeling achievement.

Submitted

Hi! if i can give you a suggestion, put a audio cue when you sell or not the scheme. I became a little confusing in the beginning because the i was thinking the guys where simply disappearing…

Plz, if you have the time, check my game too! Any feedback is welcome!

Submitted

Nice game!! Good job!!!

Submitted

Interesting concept. You did very well!

I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^

Submitted

I think it's fine for first game as I saw in the comments, specially for a game jam where time is limited. Thanks for sharing!

Submitted

For your first game its okay but there are some problems.

-Movement problems. It kinda bugs when you try to move around.

-Tutorial.. This is my problem too I couldnt prepare a proper tutorial. So it was hard for new players to understand. 

-Timer? Selling stuff? I really didn't understand the concept so I had to read it. 

but its your first game if you ever try to remake this game in the future it will probably be so awesome! I like the chill music you have there and the idea of investments is not real ! it made me laugh.

Show post...

really good effort! I've rated it 
would really appreciate a rating on mine as well ;)

Submitted

Really cool concept for would love to see some improved art though

Submitted

Cool concept, you could add a little more UI to make it clear :)

Submitted

I didn't expect that at all xD

What a funny concept, maybe if you could add a text showing how much we sold and how much time is left would be great, but anyway i had fun playing it :D

Good job !

Submitted

Funny concept!! Wish it was a bit more expanded upon and the sales weren't random, but I enjoyed it!

Developer (1 edit)

thanks for the comment. It is random I guess you’re lucky hehe :)
