The concept is nice! But what I'd like to see in this game
1. A little tip for every customer at the upper panel (maybe types of scales or maybe just a little text about what scales you need)
2. It would be nice to have a possibility to fill the slots with scales when the mouse button is pressed, not only after single clicks

Oh damn, hold to paint is such an obvious thing, can't believe I didn't think of it! Especially since in testing I so many times just furiously clicked to fill it as fast as possible to check everything works ;D A way to replay the dialogue/gather the short gist of it would have made sense too, we thought of it but didn't have time
Extremely good entry with a lot of content. Biased as usual, but I loved the dragons. Would have loved a quick replay option for individuals, but as a jam game this is absolutely fantastic.

Imagine Sisyphus HappyWhat a clever way to implement the theme in your game! You're literally building up scales on your customers so that they look fancy, awesome, silly, etc.. It reminds me of one of those dress up Flash games, except this game has some funny dialogue in it.

Swing BreakerLovely game! Great for the people who like such games. The chat part is amazing, I only wish that there was some variety in the shapes you can color. Well done!!

Mark's ValleyLove it! The game has a really cozy vibe that I got lost in, idly working away. It was fun to choose whether to help them or do the complete opposite. My little sister would love this.
Also, I spent so long giving the first customer a fancy rainbow pattern and then she didn't even like it, haha.
