Paying rent is painful, for now I stick to 7-8 slushies peer playthrough! :) Cool game, fun to manage catching and blending slushies. In full screen on web there is a little problem with UI, background occupies only left upper corner quarter, while buttons and sound are centered, but the game itself works and looks good.
@zombiewalrus Thanks for the feedback :) We are glad you enjoyed it
Interesting idea and a very comfortable design!
I loved this game. Its super addicting. Great balance overall. Is there ever more than 1 customer? I hope you keep working on this project.
This game has a really fun mood and i really liked playing it, my only gripes are that i wish the window to interact with customers was larger, and i wish there were more than one customer at a time
I had a lot of fun catching the slimes. It was a bit sad to make them into slush tho. I have to mention it as the other comments already did one customer at a time left me with a lot of downtime if I didn't already have their desired slush ready. Love the idea and the cute style great job :)
Really fun vibes, I love this lil slime slushing shop! Would happily waste away far too much time on a fully developed version of this project
I had a lot of fun playing this! It took me a bit to realize I didn't need to fill the entire machine to make a slushy. I also didn't realize the storage rooms were color coded (which should have been obvious given the colors...oops). Once I had the gameplay down I had a lot of fun playing it. One thing that might be nice is a warning for the timer when it's close to rent due time. Otherwise, I had a fantastic time playing and would play it again. Good work!
Amazing game loop, feel like I could play for hours, and the yuppie sound effect is kinda out of the ordinary but works amazing
Fun game! Its a nice little game loop. Can you add the controls to the itch.io page?
I enjoyed this game a lot. I got to 9 minutes but couldn't pay the 90. I think, optimally I could probably pay day 10 rent, but I'm not sure.
Paying for customers doesn't feel like it did anything :(. I was hoping to get two customers at a time.
Fun and addicting. One of my favorites.
@rkhadder @lehmy @nick-len @damien-black. Thank you for the feedback. We first had the customerupgrade spawn up to 4 customers. Unfortunatly this lad to some gamebraking bugs so we had to scrap this last minute :D We changed the upgrade to reduce the spawntime of a new customer but this does not quite help as much as more customers
@reevest2 Thank you for the hint we are on to it :)
Great little game! The upgrades are a little expensive though, I think having easier access to the full pen or making the pen smaller would help a lot. Hope to see more in the future!
I think the game is very cute and all the main features work well! I found that I could run faster quite late and after that the game became more fun. And I like your choice of art style ;)
I love games where you have to manage a little shop, so I really enjoyed this! Love the spritework done on this game, it's super cute!
some of my customers were getting stuck at the door way sometimes though, so I wasn't able to sell them any slush :\
otherwise great job!
Good game and artstyle, I did found some the interact spots a bit finicky.
I had a great time playing this game! The concept of catching slimes and turning them into slushies is both unique and charming. The art style is super cute, and the gameplay loop is really addictive. I do agree with others that having more than one customer at a time would make things more dynamic, but I understand the technical constraints. Also, some customers getting stuck at the door slowed things down a bit. Overall, though, this was a lot of fun, and Iād love to see where you take this project next!
I liked the art but I found the place where the wall started a bit odd. Mabey I'm just not used to this 3d but flat style.
Bit hard to control sometimes and not so trivial where to put the slimes. But really like the logic and the style
I love the game and it has good music! I took a little to understand you needed to put the slime in the machine before selling it, but maybe i missed some info. Great game!
Great concept! took a while to understand how it worked since I did not see the instructions until I used fullscreen (extra points for making it work in ultrawide) if you give this another week of love this could become a great game :)
It was definitely fun to play, I especially want to praise the art and animation, good job!
Really nice work on this. The game looks polished and is easy to understand. It would be good if controls popped up on screen as you needed them e.g. press f to start machine. Also the red slimes always seemed to want to jump into my net and I'm not sure if you could dump them š Nice work.
Fun game and really nice pixel art! it took me a minute to understand the full loop to serve a customer but once I got it I had a very enjoyable experience! I don't know where the info on my current money is so it was a bit difficult to play strategically. In any case, very nice entry!
a very interesting and relaxing game. I liked the mechanics and the economy. Cool, keep it up!
So many slimes were harmed in the making of this videogame :cry: Neat concept, was fun to play! Lovely art too, the swish of the net felt really satisfying (both then animation and sound!).
This is one of those games that can definitely grow into something bigger after the jam great work. Fun little simulator.
The music really suits the game, it feels both like appropate music for a simulator game like this and the background music you'd hear in a food shop! My slimey experience was sadly cut short by not having enough money to pay rent even though I served every customer (I did splash on some faster running shoes though, which was muchly needed!) Also green slimes seemed to spawn the least. A really fun game tbh, I'd love to see it continued after the jam. One thing though, the whole game felt like it was quite zoomed out (even when using fullscreen), I think zooming in a whole bunch would help!
Hey a fellow slime enjoyer :)
Fun and interesting game. It took me some time to understand that I needed to put the slimes in the machine before selling them. I also find that the rent ramp up too quickly, I never had enough money to buy upgrades
I had such a great time I played it for ages! Music and gameplay are really fun. As someone who doesn't play these types of game often I found it hard to get used to what to do but I eventually got it. As feedback I think the noise for the slime machine should be louder so you don't accidentally walk off without turning it on
Cutesy game until the hard reality of ever increasing rent prices hit you! Very good entry overall.
Addict to this game, i love all the aspects, congratulations!
Fun game! I like management games like diner dash so this gives me that vibe. Was fun to go catch slimes and come back to the shot. (Though I feel bad for the slimes because they are cute :<) Sometimes when I tried to make slushies it didnt go through the process and was like just still, I couldn't figure out why. Is there a button I need to press? Nice game overall!
pretty addicting game! I wish I could do more while the slushies were being made, but started to try and min max my time! Music and art were well balanced!
Rally fun game, well made!
Nice game! The mood is great and the slimes-comb idea works!
It took me a minute to figure out what the holding pins were for... then I started gather slimes while I waited for customers that made the game! I had a blast serving the customers. The only down side for me where the controls, I wish I could have used the mouse to collect slimes and make slushies! Awesome job!
Great pixel art game about running a slime shop! The cute pixel graphics really stand out and make the game fun to look at. It's cool how you catch and mix different slimes to make new colors. I enjoyed figuring out the color combinations, even if I had to look up how to make cyan. The customers are a highlight too. They have fun dialogue when ordering, which adds personality to the game. Overall, it's an enjoyable management game with a unique slime theme. Nice work on creating such a charming little shop simulator!
Omg!!!It is S-o beautiful!!!Nice job 10/10!!!
Great art style! The game is fun, but the rend is going so quickly that you don't know what to do pay it.
Nice entry, good job.
Great game, nice matching with theme, keep going
The rent is too expensive, so the store is closing. We apologize to customers.
