This game is a success on my points: graphics, music, we've got a full menu & how to, there is an interesting gameplay loop that I want to consider functional.
However I was unable to get out of debt :/ Are we supposed to be able to throw toys on the work station? At least, it's not working, but if would be great I think to add interesting to the throwing ability.
I believe the shop is like a tree, and we unlock things as time pass?
Go several bugs were I lost toys behind workstation, or was unable to drop a toy on the group and carried two at once. That was weird.
Overall, a bit of debug & polish is lacking but that's a nice game!
Love this artstyle! Very well done!
The pixel art is truly amazing! I think I accidentally incinerated a toy :( and i was very very broke
bro please rate my game
for whatever reason your game is being flagged by itch for suspicious behavior, so i never downloaded it
ohh noo
Would love to but I am on Mac...
Still rated!
Loved the concept, and the art is super cute! Unfortunately, the game's balance seems super off, and it seems practically impossible to make any profit and resultingly impossible to interact with any of the upgrades, which is a real shame, because it seems like it would be really fun otherwise! Good work on it all anyway!
This was an awesome game! I really enjoyed it great job!
Nice game! Though the game itself was a bit fast for me. And since the controls weren't working the whole time it ended up being basically impossible to get out of debt. But it was a nice game and I really enjoy the art style! The music was awesome too! Good Job!
(Also it would be nice if you guys could rate my game too ^^)
good job I rate it ......👌👌👌👌👌
Please rate my game
Seems like a fun concept. Had a few issues with bugs as others mentioned and it seemed like the Q key wasn't doing anything even though it's in the tutorial.
Pretty difficult with the controls and the event timing.
Also, got myself into unrecoverable debt after the second death.. first -20, then -7000, then -50000 shortly after.
Does seem like a pretty good gameloop though. Graphics and sound were good. And managed to keep me wanting to play long enough to get a better handle on the controls even after I was initially frustrated for struggling to get on the conveyor belt and pick anything up. And didn't take too long.
Lots of potential here.. Overall, with a patch, could definitely be really good! Surprisingly complete-feeling for just 7 days... really fantastic work!
Very difficult for me but an interesting concept and really cool graphics
cool game but it was really difficult. I loved the art style and the music!! I gave you your 20 ratinggggg!!!!!!!
The presentation is good and the gameplay loop is fun. I enjoyed this game a lot, although it started off wayyy too difficult, and could have used a more forgiving difficulty curve
nice job!
LOVE the artstyle! The game was very difficult for me, but nevertheless fun to play. Running around throwing toys trying not to blow up was hilarious, too bad I never won enough money to buy any upgrade.
Great work!
This is a very well presented game! I did encounter a number of bugs during my playthrough, most notably picking up multiple items which I wasn't able to drop or place on any of the toy making stations but I enjoyed frantically running around to the different areas and keeping everything from blowing up. The art and overall aesthetic was very well polished and the music and sound effects made everything feel very cohesive. Good job!
Thank you for checking out the game! We have been working to fix the glaring bugs for a release after the jam! Glad you enjoyed the music I wrote! Unfortunately there was more sound made but I ran out of time for implementation, so keep an eye out for that after there jam as well!
Ah yeah fair enough. There were a bunch of features that we half developed but weren't able to add to our game so I know how you feel.
Tis the struggles of a game jam no sweat!
There's definitely some bugs for example I was able to jump infinitely offscreen, but damn does this game look awesome. Love the art style and graphics. I hope it gets a patch soon!
We will have a patch release after the jam so stay tuned for that! Thank you for playing!
I want to see this game fixed out, I did a lot of attempts even though theres crucial bugs needs to be fixed such as picking up items, pressing E on object not working (probably needs a fix about radius) Game has potential on its own :)
Thank you for playing! We're hoping to release a fixed version after the jam so be sure to keep an eye out!
Pretty difficult but really cool. I loved the 2D art in a 3D style space. Well done!
Had to make a 2.5D style game for the jam! Glad you enjoyed it!
The art style is amazing. it works realy well with the 2.5d. The gameplay was also really fun running around stressing on what to do next. it kinda felt like overcooked. but 2d and simpeler. the upgrade feature also looked really neat, sadly I couldn't afford any since I somhow managed to get $5000 in debt. But it was realy fun to play
Amazing game. keep it up♥
Funny you should mention Overcooked... no further comment... Sorry for the debt, thank you for playing!
I love your art style and the music is very funky. Maybe I'm just bad but I did think the game was very difficult. Also, is the picking/dropping supposed to work like this or is it bugged?
Either way I think it's already pretty fun as is, and has a lot more potential!
Happy to hear you enjoyed the music I wrote! We are working to make this a little less difficult... But we're glad you see the potential as we do too! Thanks for playing!
The picking and dropping mechanic its bugged, it takes multiple attempts to pick or drop an item. But the main screen, tutorial and art style are GORGEEEEOUUUSSS, loved the art style, try fixing the bug and the gamepay could be really great. Congrats, Keep it upp!!!1
Thank you for checking it out! Happy you liked the art style it was a bit of a labor but totally worth it! It was a bit of an experiment for something bigger to come... stay tuned!
