Npc-s are always complaining that they can't accept the offer, even if it's 20%. It is also hard to select the right amount of money.
But I like the idea and the concept of load shark being an intimidating shark.

I like the game mechanics, controlling the shark over the map is a pleasure. The idea is brilliant! Full scores for innovation. Some problems I had with astronomical high money counter (2.xxx E+02) after five loans. But this somehow reflects the reality in a humorous way :-D. If you continue working on it, it can become a really nice minigame for sure.
Nice concept.
Cool idea! I like the concept.
Unfortunately the game crashed for me. I'll try it again on a different computer.
Interesting idea! Was difficult to determine how to deal with people: some accepted crazy loans but some didn't seem to accept anything. But props for doing something different, and I like the shark!
I love it! What a cool idea! I'd love to see this expanded upon. :)
cant run it(
Starspell, myachin: make sure you've got the XNA 4.0 redistributable installed, otherwise it won't work! I've included it in the rar :)
There seems to be a bug with the random number generator that determines how much people want and how much they earn to repay the loans, so if they keep refusing loans try restarting the game, it might fix it.
Nice idea for a game, maybe just like managing a store would be nice
I like the idea and the excessively elaborate back story. It really got me in the mood of giving out high interest loans. :)
Both the controls and the input was a bit awkward. Graphically it was pretty nice tho. The shark look was really cool.
The first "sucker" was a bit hard to get to accept a loan, but the rest of them seemed to basically accept whatever I suggested.
Great work!
Reinstalled everything and the game still doesn't work, I'm sorry :(
The idea? Genius. A Loan Shark-Shark. Well I'll be. A LOT of grey though in the colour palette though :(.
