That was awesome! Loved the concept and how you applied it. The beginning was very non-friendly but once I got the hang of it it became simpler. Very well done.
Really well made, great coconcept that required a lot of strategy to do well. Might use some polish in the controls and some more consistency in the artstyles of the different assets. But otherwise great work
One of the greatest games from the jam. Fits the theme and has addictive gameplay. Good job
I enjoyed it. Very good visuals. The game reminds me a bit of Potion Craft.
This is first interesting take on "RPG shopkeeper", it's challenging, it got nice art, great music. I really enjoyed it. Played it for a longer that I was expecting. Good job!
Very well thought out and presented game.
I would have preferred to giving the shopping list rather than have a pull out tab for it.
The tabs make it interesting because they block ingredient or activities.
The ingredient recipes changing per run mixes it up.
Solid experience!
Thanks for your feedback! We had to cut some corners with the limited time so we used the same "tab" mechanic for the shopping list :) Glad you liked it!
I love this, very polished visuals and mechanics, very creative!
My only issue while playing was that I wanted to keep some tabs open all the time and would have to keep opening and closing them if I messed something up hahaha, but that's on me more than the game.
Well done!
Great art, polish and mechanics! Thoroughly enjoyed that!
This is an amazing game! Really liked the idea and the gameplay! The art is very good too. Great job 👍👍
Straightforward and fun. Having guides on the right side was a nice way to integrate a tutorial into the game without being intrusive. Cool game!
Great art! +1 star for cloud
Great artwork and sounds/music. Had no idea how to play.
Like a lighter, fantasy themed Papers, Please. The art is cute, the mechanics are nice. If there's one thing I would add, would be to allow using the arrow keys for enchantments. Of course, some evolving story and more complex requests like in Papers Please would be awesome as well but that's way too much to ask given the short time frame.
All in all, a sweet entry to the contest. Would love to see further iterations on the idea!
Excuse me to say, but this is no ordinary shopkeeper... They sharpen swords, they brew potions, they enchant accessories with KONAMI CODES!!!
I really loved this one! The art was alright, but the UI work was really great! Good job!
Seen a couple shop keeper games today, this is by far my favorite! Love the sprite work :)
Oh to be a simple shopkeeper in a fantasy RPG. Great work! Very cute pixel art!
I loved this, and the art was so good! Great work
I really liked this game. The gameplay loop is simple but fun, and there are just enough to keep you occupied, but not too much that it becomes to complicated. All of the tasks are straight forward, which means that the difficulty comes from completing them as fast as possible. It was engaging enough to make me play another time to see if I can improve on my first score. The art is simple but fitting and the audio also fits the game quite well. If I had to give some criticism, I would say that the text dump at the start of the game is unnecessary, a lot of it can be removed and the rest can be transferred to smaller dialogue boxes in the fitting areas. I would also say that it doesn't really fit the theme that well since games like this have existed for a while, so no roles are really being reversed. But overall, a very solid game and an enjoyable time.
Nice game, love the idea, it can be a little bit confusing at irst but once you get the hang of it it's really satisfying and fun! I love the art and color aswell, good job!
Thanks a lot! We wanted to get a bit of confusion at first - it shows how hard the work of the shopkeeper is :D There is a learning curve for sure.
awesome you nailed it dude!
Great concept! It took me a while to figure out how to do things though, the tutorial was quite lengthy and I forgot most of it once the game started. I only ended the game with $185, I'm such a noob :cry_emoji:
I could see this being a game similar to one made I saw on Coolmath Games, though taken in a different direction. You can do a lot with this concept!
Thanks a lot! 185$ is not a bad score! :)
We want to continue developing this game for sure, we still have some ideas in mind :D
