Complicated game! I made a menu and ate some cookies. I guess I could have earned more money if I set things right, but my dessert burger and healthy pizza still brought me in some income.


I got a bit confused with the commands and needed to use the help system after every command! Also some commands need to use the name and some work with the index so I got in a tangle, your gameplay video helped.

Hehe, Thanks for the review :) This is actually the first game I have made in this genre, so it is not perfect, but I will try to make better ones in the future! And yeah, the commands requiring names one time and index other times are a bit confusing sometimes. I intended to make all of them have both name and index as acceptable parameters, but not using a text-game engine made it a bit complex. Would have been better if I had made a whole organized system for handling commands XD

I really liked the explanation and the text aesthetics, but in the end I could only eat cookies. Did I miss something?

gameplay video might be cool

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked the text aesthetics!
I understand that the gameplay command system may be a bit complex, so I made the gameplay video like you suggested.

The command syntax is a bit similar to MySQL if you know it :D 

Here is the video...

Windows Defender doesn't like this file and deletes it for me. (Virus detected) Any ideas?

Python Code for the game
Font Asset Used
Here I uploaded the game code and the asset
The asset needs to be in the same directory as the code.
The requirements for running the code...

python 3.7+

pygame [install it by 'pip install pygame' in cmd for windows]

quite a bit of work lol...do you want me to make a gameplay video on it?
