Congratulations on your first LD! I'm not sure I completely understood what was going on in this game, but I enjoyed it. :) I like the music and the interstitial titles a lot.

Cool game and idea too. The mysterious ending and start of a day is cool!!!

First of all: nice job for your first entry!

I think you should complete the desription here for people to understand your game (otherwise your "important notes" only create more confusion).

The music was actually very nice and fits the game.

Nice work :)

Very funny game!

The sound effects and everything else is oddly comical. Good job!

The text in the intro was kinda hard to track though, since it jumps all over the place

Nice little weird lemonade stand sim, moody too. Balance could be better, I often got only cards I couldnt play (missing customers) or only price increases etc. "You crumble to the ground". :V: The music was kind of nice, somehow fit the dreamy athmosphere.

Nice first entry! I played for a week, and hit a point where I was forced to kill myself to take extra cards... wow, being a hotdog seller kind of sucks ;)

very macabre undertones as to whats going on...

I'm not sure I knew what was going on sometimes. I had the feeling I was drawing cards and I didn't know why. But other than that, it was an interesting concept and it did make me giggle with the day introductions! Good job for a first jam! :)

@rolly Thanks for the feedback. I did add some more body to the post and I'll keep it in mind for the next LD :D @danidev Nice feedback! Looking back to the game, the text is indeed a little bit jumpy and could've used better formatting. @zondarg Yeah the balancing is a bit off. I tried to balance the lesser obvious mechanics out a bit at the end but I kinda missed on the happiness vs score mechanic imo (it's a bit unintuitive really). Glad you still liked the atmosphere :)

@phillserrazina @mrnyarlathotep @aret24 @otresnjak All thanks for the feedback, appreciate it all a lot :) I'm superhappy that the mysteriousness got through, even though it mightve created some confusion.

Interesting game i like the sound effects and music, it is a bit confusing but for a first jam its a good job.

Interesting concept and great audio! Graphics could be better (I recommend you to use a color palette next time and your games will looks better :P). Funny game, good job!

Congrats on your first LD. Its a bit confusing at first, but it's really original and has good audio. Well done!

I enjoyed playing this, some good tactics just around energy/health. At first I wasn't sure how the day ends (until I read the description, duh). The text between days was a bit hard to read and the graphics were rather simple.. but neither interfered with the gameplay which worked :)

Also, good music.

Awesome game! Really makes you addicted to serving lemonade and icecreams! It also has replayability which i like and as a whole i think you have done a great job with this game!
