Good use of mechanics to keep player busy. I found the money goal to be a little high for how long it took to earn money. I had trouble stopping thieves due to how slow the progress bar to stop them was. I also discovered that if you're moving when you start activating something you keep moving even without the movement keys held down. The game was good at it's core, I think it would have benefitted from faster pacing all round.
Overall good game. The theme wasn't very obvious though and I hadn't even realized that I had restarted. It was pretty fun, but there were a couple of bugs. Occasionally, and I don't know the cause, the character would continue to move in his last direction after I stopped pressing the button, the kids would completely change appearance after they got mad, and some of the values on the shop sign would render in front of the human sprites. The art style was inconsistent as some were pixel, some were smooth, and some were pixel but imported incorrectly and fuzzy. The music was slightly repetitive but didn't get in the way too badly. I think it's got some pretty good potential.
I can see the idea here on the game. About trying to maintain your stalls as much as possible butthe execution wasn't the best. It was unclear how to execute most of the actions, like fixing the gumball and all the other stuff in the list that wasn't restocking. I like the idea behind it, but it need some more polish and execution.
I couldn't find an bugs, although I couldn't test all the stuff tehe game had to offer I think.
Congratulations on making a game! great job, this effort will help you improve in your future projects.
Pleas eplay our game!!!
