Pretty chill atmosphere, great choice of music!
I think the overall style was very nice, both art and UI theming, as well as the idea behind the game setting and gameplay loop.
Feedback on bugs and UI issues:
- I didn't find out until later that you can scroll the list on the right, the wheel direction is reversed so it doesnn't scroll on first try
- A scroolbar would've been nice, or faster scrolling speed, or items being sorted by name/category. The list is fairly long (4 pages), and with no sorting and slow scroll it takes a while to navigate and find things.
- 'a's in front of item names feel distracting
- No way to increase/descrease price fast, you have to click 20 times if you want it up/down by 100$. ALso, when buying items, price step is 5$, but when selling things, its 10$.
- There is a bunch of specific potions, but also a generic 'a potion' item?
- Pricing %% does not reset to 100% when you try to sell an item to a new customer
- Supplier complains when you offer 0$ for items, but is completely fine with selling anything at 5$ a piece
- Sometimes customers dismiss themselves after a second or so (customer respawn script gets triggered twice?)
- When selling items, your money counter is not updated, only when buying them
Hope that helps in your future projects!
The character sprites and general style of the game is great! And the main loop (strategically purchase items and then barter) was great!
That said, I do think the interpretation of the theme was too loose to the point that it didn't come through. And it also took me way too long to figure out that the menu had inverted scroll controls ^_^' But it's still an incredibly polished game despite that.
Thank you! My original idea I think fit the theme a bit more but I didn’t have time to implement everything I wanted so it’s a bit looser than I wanted ;-;
Well done, I like the atmosphere with the music and the Balatro effects, very soothing 🙂
Maybe it's me but I found the bar on the right a bit confusing to navigate, you have to scroll up to go down. Also you don't see where you are on the list, there is no scroll "handler/indicator".
Good Job with your game 👍
Thanks! I did make my own system for the list but didn’t have time to include a scrollbar into it T T I’ll definitely find a way to implement my own in the future though when I come back to this idea! I never realized it was inverted cuz I use a weird mouse but I’ll fix that once the jam is over.
This is a great little stat management game. It's got a pretty fun gameplay loop and the UI was very well polished. 😎
On the other hand, I felt like the connection to the theme was a bit low and some feedback would have been nice when the customer accepts your offer 😄
Solid game, keep it up!
Thanks! I’ll do a small update after the jam is over and hopefully I can fully realize the game in the future! (After I finish another the current game I’m doing lol)
Loved the game idea!
I found an issue that after offering the items I wouldn't get any feedback if they took it or not
Yeah your reputation and money will change but I should’ve added a sound effect, idk how I forgot ;-;
well, there was a deadline so I get it.
Great and fun idea!
