Goodfeel game, had a bunch of fun playing through it! Challenging and cozy at the same time. Made me reflect on life. +rep for dog!

You know, I am not really a hobo, more of a university student, but I found the concept to be very relatable to me. Amazing graphics, and idea. The lack of music kinda gets me, but it did not seem that important. I love that I was able to play with a dog. A very good entry.

Love the concept, reminds me of an old ld entry I made many years back. Found the sliders went down a touch too fast, but otherwise Great work! :thumbsup:

Cool little game! Music would have given a lot to the game :thinking: Other than that, great job!

Nice idea, remember me The Sims but money didnt goes down when used.

Good work with the theme, I like the building art, could use some background music like others said.

Yay! I am no hobo anymore.

I really liked the concept although it got quite easy after you unlocked the normal house. It would probably be cooler and harder if you would actually spending the money (for example when buying the house or something).

Overall nice game!

Great entry for the theme. Nice work.

I really like your take on the theme :) The game plays really well, though it gets a bit trivial once you get the regular house. However, the beginning is really hard and this is a great fit. Really makes you think.

Am I a hobo!? I don't have a speedboat! I'm not interested in having a speedboat! So am I a hobo by choice?

I really liked the simple balance your resources mechanic! I think housing should cost money though. Free housing is a bit op. Being have to go back to the cosy cardboard house would feel more lifelike.

It was really fun to play. Thanks for the game.

nice little game :) I dont quite get why the hobo is getting smarter just from staying in the luxury house though, maybe you could have had a university or something for end game knowledge icrease.

"Congratulations! You are hobo no more." Lol, Nice humour.

Intersting management game. And specially that the action which improves the mood is to play with the dog.

I liked the graphics. While simple they are pleasant and easy to understand what everything are supposed to be without text explaining. The mechanics are also nice and challenging. I found however that the lack of sounds in the game compromise the experience of the player.

Congrats on your game!

I really liked this game! The idea is very original and it is fun to play. Although it gets pretty easy to win quickly once you get the regular house.

Could use some music but other than that it's great. I had fun playing it! Thank you for this experience :smile:

Thank you for all the great feedback guys! A lot of good points have been made, especially concerning music, which I unfortunately didn't have time to make. I was tempted to add a track I had previously made, but it would take away from the joy of doing a compo. I will definitely do better to make time for it next time around!

Very nice small sim =) Too short IMO but was fun to play.
