Great job this was quite fun to play!

Simple relaxing game.

At some point, I thought the game would eventually end if you collect enough chests (I made that assumption because the character changed every time they picked up a chest)

I enjoyed the game, though!

Submitted(+2)

this is a "feel good" game, no stress, no pressure, no problems, just click here and there and relax. thx for making such a calming entry^^

Developer(+1)

Yes!! I am glad you liked it! :D

Submitted(+2)

WOW, Amazing game, Great Job!!

Submitted(+2)

This is a really satisfying game, I think it would be better to make it so the prices inflate as you level up your charather or that on lvl up, the map clears and you get a whole bunch of new stuff to test, cause it gets a bit boring after a while  

Developer(+1)

Yep,  that was the idea initially but as a solo developer I just didn't have enough time! Still glad you enjoyed at least part of the game!

Submitted(+1)

The core idea is great, but we both suffer the same problem, not enough time xD

Submitted(+2)

Fun little experience, and the art and sound design are very nice :)

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game I  don't have any real negative except low amount of Items to use but very good prototype.

Hearing those points go up is very satisfying! I think the premise of the game of being the "designer" feels like a little bit of a stretch but I still enjoyed the game itself. I like how it's very intuitive to start making a maze for the player to run through since you get higher point multipliers the further you go. Would enjoy seeing a version of this with even more tools!

Developer

Thank you glad you enjoyed it! I came up with the name before I finished the game and at the time the bar was set much higher so yeah it is less like a "designer" than I wanted it to be. As a solo developer, I just didn't have enough time to do everything I wanted and dreamed of. I am very glad you enjoyed it however :D

not enouth to do. need monsters and sutch

Developer(+1)

Sorry, I didn't live up to your dream :( As a solo developer, I didn't have time as well as I never had experience with pixel art games and also pathfinding algorithms. This whole game was very much out of my comfort zone and I wasn't able to do as much as I wanted due to just not having enough time since I had to do everything, test everything, and fix everything. I am sorry you didn't like my game :(

That fence though 0-0

Fun game, I built an big maze to make the player give me lots of points. Wish the chests gave progression and there was an end stage. Great work!

Developer

Yeah, I agree with you, But just the sheer amount of work needed for this. As a solo developer, I just didn't have enough time to add more stuff even though I really wanted to. That is why I called it a "mini-game" since it didn't manage to live up to my own full dream for the game. I choose polishing up and shipping a shorter game that is very well made over a longer more content-filled game that might have annoying bugs.  I will say for sure if I wasn't the only developer and I had someone helping me the game would have gotten much farther. I am glad you at least enjoyed what I had!

Clever concept and great execution. Very good job for a solo developer!

Developer

Thank you!! <3

Submitted(+1)

Well, it's addictive - to seeing next costumes
But only for a minute)
Didn't get, what sign does

Developer

Oh the signs are fences, it is like a wall, you just have to place  at least some of them next to each other and you will understand

Submitted(+1)

Great game

I had a blast playing this game Thank you so much  for this 

Submitted(+2)

I like this game. The idea of making the player move by dropping the coins was really clever

Submitted(+2)

The game feels very good, I also love the sounds.

Well done!

Submitted(+1)

Neat little game! I like how you incentivized making a maze out of the fences by giving more money if the character had gone a certain distance.

Submitted(+1)

Amazingly fun little game. I feel like it could use with some challenge (like enemies), but still a spectacular submission.

Submitted(+1)

Really unique idea! I think it really shows how fun the design is when I kept playing even after buying all the items (and kept going until I got like 4 skins). Amazing job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! I am super glad you liked it!
