My mind is fried now. Only two things are missing imho: - Elevator music - A highlight of "almost perfect" scores in the list to the left, for easier reference.
A great and fun experience :D

Clever game. Nice work.
Awesome little game, really like the graphics!
Like @duandi said, some kind of music would be nice and it's pretty hard to get the right values. Also it wasn't clear for me that you can also use the higher valued pieces since teeth arn't bones but they wanted teeth, so I sometimes dropped 50 teeth which were pretty hard to place haha. It would have been also very nice that you can see which values where "Almost Perfect" on the letter / bill on the right, maybe with a little star or some kind of other visual thing.
But all in all keep up the awesome work!
Oh wowie you guys!! You made something - something to enjoy! It's hard tho, I've played for a while and have only managed to solve two..! I'll keep playing now, thank you for making this!

Lelz, my brain hurts. The art is really good, I love how you twisted the theme. Great job
Damn, I'm bad at math-puzzles. It took me too long to figure out all of the exchange rates :smile: But it was a fun experience. Really loved the style of the game.
Uff, that was fun, it took me a bit to plan how to make the assumptions but finally I got all. Apart the music recommendation, I think once you find the perfect value for a pair there is no more sense in repeating customers of that kind. I even has twice in a row the exact same change. Apart form that very good literal twist on the theme and a beautiful gamification of a maths problem!
Nice mechanics.
This was one of the best games I've played on this jam. Solving simple math puzzles combined with very tactile feeling of dragging and dropping different little trinkets creates a nice cozy mood. I really imagined myself as this Carl Currency guy sitting there with a hot cup of some weird tea and evaluating different things. 5 tooth out of 15 beetles!
great game, smooth graphics. really funny :) nice work!
Very nice! I loved the puzzling aspect of figuring out the exchange rates. great game.
Great puzzle game. Art and gameplay are great. Only thing missing is audio.
Brilliant little thing, this game :)
The graphics are super charming and do exactly what they need to do. The gameplay was quite tricky to figure out in the beginning but at some point you can calculate everything. It's great though, because you have to come up with the correct maths equations yourself which makes the challenge in this puzzle quite creative!
It'd make more sense gameplay-wise if there weren't as many "useless" exchanges that can't tell you anything new. It could be interesting to have the NPCs giving you multiple different currencies in the late game, as that would add another dimension to the challenge. It's a little strange that they're angry if I give them too much. They should be glad haha! I'm a bit sad that there's no audio.
Nice concept. Very challenging and probably a good game to train logic and math... Makes me feel a little stupid. :D Maybe highlighting the "very close"es in the history on the left would have been helpful. I like it. Very simple and clever little puzzle game.
A slow-burn puzzler that's compelling to play through. Very nice graphics too. Good job! :)
Love the twist on the theme! Further more, the omission of real-life currency in exchange for what most would consider hard to value adds a great challenge to the game. For some reason at one point I clicked outside the window and when I came back it was no longer counting:

It took a bit to understand what is happening since I see stuff on the left, the customer asking for something, and then I have to make that something appear? That confused me a bit since I thought they were asking for a button but gave me 3 tooth so I gave them one button but that was too little etc. Then I figure that what they were asking for is the equivalent of 3 tooth in buttons :P
Hehe, very nice game. A bit hard and frustrating though, but maybe because I'm tired today.
I really like it! The graphics are nice and I really like the general idea.
Excellent and a genuinely refreshing game to encounter. Nothing else to say.
This would make a great game for kids. Challenging, but something they can figure out with enough trial and error. Great looking graphics, though the background could probably use some more color/variation.
Amazing game! Me and my girlfriend we are addicted to it now :D Here is our latest game, we alternated to make turns and were competing between ourselves, hence the good score :) Congratulations on the great idea, implementation, art and mood! scrn_1.jpg scrn_2.jpg
Ps. Here we surely had quite some luck: Screenshot_20190524_152433_com.JosiaAndTimo.CarlCurrency.jpg
Okay, here is the best one :D Screenshot_20190526_180605_com.JosiaAndTimo.CarlCurrency.jpg
