Loved the artstyle and sounds. The item ideas were straight up wonderful! Bravo!

I did this on a bachelor party once, where you had to trade items with strangers to get a present in the end... That's a simple and fun game :D I love it! <3

I love the idea! wonderfully done! I loved the art work for all the items, and the music was catchy too. Great game.

Impressive amount of art for 3 days, and the music was cool too.

Haha, great game XD I didn't get the greed mechanic, though... I suppose when I trade for something too valuable I lose a life? Progressing in the game felt really fun :)

I really like this game, the art is really good and the sounds are nice. I like the amounts of humor this game has in the items. I also really dig the nice effects you put in the text and animations.

To me personally the "Greed Chance" value was not really clear as the value showed lower as the chance was higher? Also the game seems to ramp up pritty quikly in terms of money and sometimes it shows duplicates, witch is quite weird.

Also you have the same code idea as we had, only we were only with 2 so it looks a little bit less polished :) Check it out if you like :smile:

Overall a great game!

As others have said, the art and sound are really great. I'm not sure I entirely understood how it worked, but overall great work.

Such a damn cute game! Love the sound design and animations. I'd say it's a little repetitive, but full of charm and very funny. Love it!

Lovely graphics and fun time

Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!

black-flag 2019-10-08 19:54

I really like the concept and the art is really good! I enjoyed seeing all of the “Bizzarre” items that came up for sale, the music also fit reall nicely as well as the sound effects for if you made a profit. This overall is a really good jam entry!

The classic paper clip into house story is absolutely perfect for this theme. This is a fun game and those mushrooms are very cute.

emmatw 2019-10-08 20:45

Very nice game with lovely graphics and audio!

demuss 2019-10-09 09:32

1st few minutes of gameplay were priceless, loved the graphics, audio and how bizarre the bazzar was ^^

gamejuv 2019-10-09 09:37

The combination between music and graphics is awesome. I love all the different items, very creative!

squaredev 2019-10-09 09:52

Very nice presentation. The art is charming and the music and sounds worked well. I was not sure how to judge the different items' values so I just kept trading randomly though :joy:

This game is a joy to the senses. The synergy between sound, art and gameplay come together for an exquisite experience. I give it five bags of popcorn.

The graphics are super nicely drawn, the game is simple to play and thus quite relaxing. I sadly had to trade away my jar of dirt, but I guess it was worth it!

adorable characters and lovely graphics. The mechanic has a lot of potential and it’s very fun to guess the price of things. The background feels a little empty, maybe add some elements with a little brighter colours to get a better sense of a busy colourful market. Maybe add an inventory system (say having up to 3 items in person) it could add to the complexity. Theme-wise it's unclear why being greedy is a negative thing, it's a market and I’m trading goods that are offered to me. Maybe calling it reputation instead would fit better.

Super cute game! I love the audio in this one and the art is amazing, too! Also, it's really funny with it's eccentric choice of items :D The gredd mechanic was not quite clear to me. Nevertheless, I managed to get hold of the moon on my first try ^^

Love it.

papaver 2019-10-16 09:33

Cute game! I like the audio, the graphics and the gameplay, although I didn't quite understand why I couldn't be too greedy, or when I exactly was being too greedy. :wink: I liked that there are so many interesting items! After a while I learned the price of some items and I got to the moon! :smile:

A very minor detail: I noticed that the player character is drawn on top of the foreground leafs (which you only see if you walk to one of the sides). Also, after winning, if you give up to give it another go, the nice music is very soft!
