Neat idea.

Neat idea.
I really like this game.
Love your style and a fun game too! Great to see fellow pico8 devs :) I would recommend downloading the latest version .12 and exporting your web player again, it runs a little smoother and is better on mobile. Nice job on the compo though!
@notb thanks for the feedback and for the heads up on the latest Pico8 version, I'll definitely jump on that one!
Your artwork is great, and it's nice to have a little story for motivation!
Pretty awesome game. Only issue was that the font was hard to read.
I like this. Strangely addictive considering how little there is to actually do. Art style is cool; I'm a sucker for super low-res pixel art.
Cool little game with a nice story :)
What a great game, NES vibes. The sound, the graphic effects. The gameplay.
Really solid, nothing bad to say. Congrats!

144 seconds yay! The idea behind the game is really good. Congrats! 😄
I guess I'm going to Bora Bora!! Wooo wooo!!! Thanks for making this, it was really fun. I couldn't hear any sounds...

Nice game Josh! I instantly recognized your art style from your previous LD entry about fire rescue :)
Small bug: if your exchange rate is below market value, when people exchange money, it doesn't lower your score.
@shawn-moore thanks for playing! Awesome that you recognised the style from last jam :).. the score thing was a design choice on my part, it felt mean to dish out negative commission! Also meant if you took a while to get the hang of it, then it could take forever to then finish starting off with minus score. :)
Totally fair :)
Curious game, and a fun one! And nice to see a Pico-8 game made for the compo, not an easy task. The shop is a great addition to the game idea.
Nice work!
Made it to Bora Bora! I think I had to go below the exchange rate first to get things started, but after that things worked fine. I didn't hear any audio, I'm not sure if there was any? Anyway, nice work!
@aeveis Thanks for the feedback :). You're not the first to say there wasn't any audio! I've re-exported it with the newest version of Pico-8 in the hope that it fixes that issue. Thanks again!
Made it in 97 seconds! Always nice to see Fantasy Consoles being used!
@wongkongphooey I hear audio now- thanks!
@64mega not bad at all! Best I managed knowing all the tricks was only 10 seconds faster :)
@aeveis thanks so much for letting me know!
Nice little game, it's quite an original idea :-) One thing I can think of to improve it visually is to plot a graph of the exchange rate. It would look pretty cool (at least to people who think graphs are cool :P)
Great game! I found it very easy to understand what to do and quite addictive. Very well balanced as well! Well done!
I just love this kind of games. I am learning Lua and Pico-8 now. The idea was really good. The gameplay and music were great. Good Job!
That is quite interpretation of theme. Smoothly playing though, good job.
@xlambein thats a great suggestion! Thank you, and thanks for playing!
