I realy like the pixel art of your game. Beggars life seems to be hard - and so is the game. Its hard to survive. Together with the music, that causes kind of a sad feeling. If that was your intention: Good work. ;-)
By the way: It is also a good interpretation of the theme.
Hey thanks, glad you liked it. I really wanted to show that feeling, it's sad and hard out there for them.
The audio emphasizes the message of the game very well.
The art in the game is excellent. I liked the small detail, the wiggling / tapping toe when you're not moving. The theme usage was great and the game was hard as it should. Very moody, I almost felt sorry for him. The walking speed was a bit too slow for my taste but overall a nice experience! Nice job :)
Really nice pixel art and ambient music at the background.
Wow the pixel art is amazing! You did a great job creating a very sad atmosphere. Nice Job!
thanks everyone for taking time and playing my game
stunning pixel art
Pixel art is awesome and the idea fresh, only thing I didn't like was how slow the character is moving.
@sbakolis thanks for playing, glad you liked it. I didn't have time to balance the speeds, he could be little faster but I think hobo people usually walk slow that's why I made him slower than others
Really nice pixel art
@vincentvincent thanks for playing glad you liked it
Whoa, that's an hard subject. I really felt all that "piss off jerk" I got. I choose not to vote for "humor" cause there is no humor but you did an amazing job. Graphics have kinda lucasart feeling. Gameplay is quite basic but it's hard to get a decent amout of money by those unsensitive yuppies! Probably you can further develop the gameplay by adding options ("show children pictures", "wash cars for money") to vary the game.
@ioleoso thank you for playing. while I was testing the game even I felt bad when yuppies told me to piss off but that's the feeling I was trying to achieve. I'm a retro boy I grew up in those good old lucasarts times
Wow, fantastic graphics, can't believe you did all that by yourself! Well done! The gameplay was fun, but maybe would be interesting if there was some kind of progression? Or maybe some sprint haha, idk. Hard game, enjoyed it thoroughly and well done on the graphics!
Oh we had exactly the same idea and point of view ! ^^ Very nice entry ! The music and the art are good :) I'm surprised you achieved all that work alone, congrats !
I survived for three days! x) "Y U NO GIVE ME MONEY I need my candy bar to stay alive!" (there was only one npc the last day whom I could speak to and he wouldn't give me any money ;( I needed only 11 cents!) Anyway, great job with the art and the overall mood (music and visual effects)! If you want to develop this further, it would be interesting if you could lose of other ways (being thrown out or being bullied by other peoples for example) Also the fact that your hunger reset everyday is a bit contradictory x)
Looks and sounds good. Movement is really slow but that doesn't hurt the game as it is.
Indie developer simulator) Bugs: A flipping text and no cropping in the amount of money, because of this sometimes we have 0.0499992
@xakkar thanks for playing and for pointing out. I rounded values to 2 digit int than convert it to float but still have this weird long floats, sadly I couldn't figured it out in time
@nocity thanks for playing yes he could be little faster, speeds definately needs balancing but make him slow was my intention to emphasize the feeling of helplessness
Nice looking entry. Character movement feels a little bit slow. Anyway it's a good entry. Congrats :)
Great art in this one. I dig the pixel detail in the environment and the moody music! On Day 5 no NPCS spawned except for one who flickered in on the left side of the screen and turned around instantly.
Great art and mood I am dying a lot because I am not sure I understood the controls in the red yellow green bar

really liked the idea btw, very original and heartfelt
Amazing art, quite a big experience to play it.
@guttykreum thank you for pointing out, spawning system definitely needs debugging and for anyone who is reading this check out @guttykreum 's game
Loved the art style - really well done! I guess i wouldn't last very long out on the street ("p*ss off jerk!").
good concept and matches the theme well, but I cant really progress even for one day. maybe it is just because I suck... but still.
I really liked the art, atmosphere, mood and the interpretation of the theme. it's a very solid jam game. just as a nice to have feedback, I believe it could be much more easier for first days, I couldn't even survived for one day which is way more realistic than I thought it would be :laughing: well done!
The pixel art is straight forward amazing and the music as well. it would be nice if we could know the price of the food and if the player moved a bit faster as he moves very slowly. And I found out a bug ( or maybe its intentional ) in day 4 no one spawns so I ended up starving to death and then a person spawned. Except for those the game is smooth and fun to play and the concept is really nice and your game has a fine interpretation of the Theme. Well done!!
@noobdev thanks for playing, someone else also told me about that bug, game definately needs debugging. I wanted to add some events like rain, stolen money, different speeds with different foods but I didn't have time. As for the price of the food, it's written on the vending machine 50cents
Game jams are very frustrating because of time and we get so many awesome ideas to add to our games but... TIME but that's what makes it fun. And about the foods cost..... Oops... My bad 😅😅
Great art! Would suggest to have only 1 common key (space instead of space and B) for asking minigame. Don't see any reason to split them and was confused at the beginning.
Great pixel art! The control scheme is a bit weird but it doesn't prevent the game from being playable. My only problem with the game is that I don't see the point of ever leaving the vending machine since people have to walk towards me one way or another and I am a really slow walker anyway. It feels like I could starve to death with money on my pockets if I beg somewhere else other than right next to the vending machine.
Anyway I really enjoyed your take on the theme! Thank you for making this game.
Life is cruel! And all those people are greedy... I've been dying all the time (((
Kudos for nice pixel art! ;)
The game has a great mood and the music helps to create a sombre tone. A couple of bugs I noticed, at one point the money I had came to a strange decimal number like 0.2800000 dollars, and often the responses of people would be reversed if I changed direction. I noticed one person spawned on the left side of the screen and immediately walked off the left side of the screen too.
The game definitely has potential. All there is to do at the moment is beg people, but I can see the game becoming quite addictive if more features were added. Overall, a great submission for the short space of time it was made.
Great art, the gameplay feels abit too random. I made it to day 4 with .28 and only saw one person that wouldn't give me money. So I starved. Cool Idea overall and I really like the implementation, there just needs to be more variation on the people coming and going. Maybe faster movement speed, with more than one vending machine? and the vending machines run out of food or have different food values based on cost. Lot of different directions you could with this. Nice job!
Really liked the graphics, music was nice too. Biggest problem was the rounding of money, especially frustrating when I had precisely 0.5 dollars yet it didn't let me buy.
A simple gameplay but with great pixel art and animations. Well done!
Is it normal, that at level 6 nobody shows up to give you a change?
Nice visuals and pixel art. Nice idea behind the game. Although there are several bugs here and there (0.00069234$ or inability talk to strangers right in front of vending machine) the game looks polished. It also seams way to random - on day two there were a lot of people in the street (earned a lot that day), on day three only one who gave me nothing (barely survived spending yesterdays revenues)... Add more features and content (cops, eldery people, other hobos... options to rob, or steal mechanic also might be nice addition to the gameplay) you name it) and you are good to go!
