Loved the art and the humor was great! :) Great job!

tjmcdonald 2019-10-07 19:45

Love that top down 8 bit art, got a few laughs in this one

starvingindie 2019-10-07 20:27

Such a great little game. Humor, art and a narrative. This game has it all! I went big and then bigger...didn't turn out well for me unfortunately. I'd be curious to play again to see if there's multiple endings. Great job!

cpokered 2019-10-07 20:30

Pretty fun. The humor was good!

tjmcdonald 2019-10-07 20:30

@starvingindie There might be as many as three kinds of endings ;)

nobongo 2019-10-07 20:30

Very new and fun concept. I really wasn't sure where the game was going, and the lack of direction didn't hinder it at all. It's nice that you can play with just space bar, and it's great that you can skip text when going back through to get different outcomes!

stamestratagem 2019-10-07 20:33

Great mechanics!

nachtwitch 2019-10-07 21:47

love the pixel art, the mechanics are great, why are there so many great games this time, why do I not have enough time to play the all?

idontknow 2019-10-07 21:49

Fun! I'd spent more time looking for different endings than I should have, though...

fragment-games 2019-10-07 21:51

A fun litle game you have made! Love the cute art style. Really well done! Original :-)

penguinboy 2019-10-07 21:57

Such an enjoyable and simple game. I found the "talking" noises to be a bit jarring after while, but the humor easily made up for it. Great job!

adecon 2019-10-07 23:48

A very good game, reminiscent of the old 8 bit games, and it is very nice. The game creates a dandy atmosphere and develops a reaction. Very good work :)

sefirost 2019-10-08 00:32

Nice game, funny dialogs, simple but catchy game mechanic!

pinosaur 2019-10-08 03:36

Very charming art style, and very entertaining story. Great job!

brokenmirrormedia 2019-10-08 03:43

A very funny and quick game, enjoyed it!

mashas 2019-10-08 11:00

WELL, FIDDLESTICKS. That was a cup of laughs! Lovely retro atmosphere, easy to understand gameplay. Greed got me the first time around but I did get to see two different endings. I also noticed you have to be careful when skipping dialogue so you don't mess up. Just like in real life. A game well done!

randdir 2019-10-08 15:54

Nice entry team. First I was interesting about the graphics that remind me my entry and then the humor handle me a lot. Keep it up really like it.

scott-steffes 2019-10-09 00:50

Mechanics, writing, graphics - loved them all! Great font too. I have to say the dialog was very well done, both characters bounced off each other well. My only point of feedback would be that it would have been fun to choose your own response before the mini-game, even if the results of the responses didn't differ very much, just to add a little more interaction.

mrabnox 2019-10-09 00:56

It was great to play. I enjoyed the story telling element within this game. look forward to seeing more work from you

joe-williamson 2019-10-09 00:59

Had to play for all the endings. xD

dummydojo 2019-10-09 01:03

Love the artwork! The feeling of the whole game is very nostalgic! Very simple game play keeps it flowing and easy to play. Great work!

don-fouts 2019-10-09 23:40

Nice game! I couldn't stop trying to push my luck. I really liked the dialog and pacing of the game.

iluvatar 2019-10-12 10:35

This was hell of a fun! Love the NES graphics reference. The gameplay was rather simple, but so much fun. Love the witty dialogs. One of the most charming games I've played in years in LD competition. Good job.

Loved the art style, and the music too.

scsc 2019-10-22 21:57

Great art and the choice of, let's say, minimalistic design of the mechanics. It really felt like playing some larger game with a complete story. I could imagine it to transition into a different game. By the way, I feel like you have wasted some potential when it comes to a first impression - both the starting screen, and the bank, are hard to really conceptually grasp at a first glance. At first I thought it's some kind of a spaceship game, as the borders were round and there were some "windows", and the character was so pink it felt like a different object :) And when the box goes on fire - you no longer see that it was a box. If you research how the human sight works, your brain doesn't really remember a previous object in this kind of transition, even though it may feel intuitive that we "notice" the difference. I'd propose some animation, like shaking the box / a match falling on it, in order to improve the context. The same with the bank - I believed that I'm in the left-top corner :)

Funny game, great graphics. I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/oyFtoUSqXW8

Taking a loan is not really hard, I was performing North Carolina payday loans https://payday-loans-cash-advance.net/NC/ which is a really effective and affordable solution if you are going to get in touch with a professional service, where you are able to get money really fast. Such a service is a really effective and affordable!

You can take out a loan, but you must be careful about whose bank you borrow from and what percentage you will be charged. I think it is important things. Some company put a higher percentage on short-term loans, so keep that in mind. I can recommend visit https://paydaysay.com/online-installment-loans-instant-approval.php site for more info about loans. When you don't want to borrow money from the bank, I recommend borrowing money from friends, family, or coworkers. If you don't have that option, you can ask for guidance from PayDay Say cash app. That way, you make sure everything goes smoothly. I hope I have helped!

It's a fantastic little game. Humor, art, and a story. This game has everything! I went big and then even bigger...unfortunately, it didn't work out for me. I'd like to play it again to see if there are any alternate endings. You did an excellent job!
