Pros Nice artwork, both for sprites and also the game world. Loved the minimalism used for the models, colours were also very vibrant and appealing. Interesting gameplay concept and theme interpretation that was very to the point. Cons House travel feature involving the space tapping is not needed; some users might not be able to tap as fast due to physical limitations, it is also more tedious than enjoyable. Lack of progressive feedback as you add items to your collection, there is no indication as to how many of each type you have collected. Lack of a difficulty curve is developed through the game; there is no clear and gradual escalation in difficulty as player skill increases. Players may be overwhelmed on their first shopping trip. Consider having the number of items increase over time, so that you only have to do one or two on your first run, and several on your future runs. There is a lack of a clear interest curve resulting in the gameplay becoming fairly repetitive. Making the changes to the difficulty curve as mentioned above would definitely help with this, alongside having content unlock over time to provide unique variations to the gameplay. Audio should definitely be implemented as an additional form of gameplay feedback to the player. Formal UI font clashes against the pixel art headers and sprites. This was a pretty good idea! I just wish it was explored in more depth and the player experience was catered for a bit better. Besides that, well done!
