Clean, simple and effective, perfect scope and execution for a jam game. Nice work!

Artwork is superb!

Pretty art and a fun concept which you implemented well.

Unfortunately both here and on itch the embedded game is very small, making it hard to recognize things and to read text/money amounts.

Thank you for feedback! Sorry for the size, we didn't think about that, might have been nice to double the pixels - will keep it in mind next time

Yes thats a great idea! Nice artwork. I really enjoyed it. Good job

The idea turned out to be unusual, and I like the graphics that came out

Cool graphics and music ! Auctions mechanics are a bit weird but overall that's a really charming little puzzle game.

The auction house art is beautiful! Collecting, rotating, flipping and sorting all the items was loads of fun! Excellent game. (maybe only the bidding was a little fast for me).

We've had somewhat similar idea, and I think yours is fleshed out a little bit more than mine 😅. I enjoyed the gameplay a lot, I think the rotation and flipping does change the approach to this type of puzzle and I liked it a lot.

What I missed was the ability to view the suitcase upfront, but I understand this was a design choice. I can see no rating for the music, but I think it was a good selection.

The only problem I see is that I couldn't resize the game. I think it would benefit greatly from a 2x scaling, I even took a screenshot and can verify it looks awesome in 2x scale as well.

Congrats on the entry, great job!

Wow, music is so nice and the artwork / design is really beautiful. Great work! I like the game-mechanic, never thought I would play auction-tetris! :)

Very cool! A lot of fun to play

really cool concept! i like the art style a lot :) nicely done!!

Nice art style and concept, a full screen option will be nice and I don't know if it's by design that you can't see your inventory shape before buying, since I have runs where the item won't fit even with full empty inventory.

Cool simple concept, i spend about 20 minutes collecting, Great job.

oxbuddulaj 2025-10-16 17:29

original idea, excellent implementation plus distinct art style

you nailed the jam. we should learn it from you. thanks!

shaggy 2025-10-18 10:10

Looks great! I have such bad memory though so seeing the suitcase while bidding would be nice. But I guess that is part of the challenge!

l6ria 2025-10-18 16:06

Super charming concept and presentation — the auction-packing mix was surprisingly satisfying! The art and music are both top-notch.

rosypenguin 2025-10-18 18:30

Nice work with how clean and consistent everything is. Love the originality!

I am extremely bad at this game and still found it fun, which I think says a lot. The time limit countdown with the brisk old timey music really did it. I think the game might be improved with a mode where you can at least see the shape of your case or go with a rectangular case though; the tiles were pretty wild.

I love tetrising things into other things so this game made me happy. I liked the oldschool realistic pixelart as well. Also, my compliments for making the game so complete - we're so used to seeing half-finished jam games!

I'm a sucker for packing puzzle games and this one is great. Love the setting and it is very well polished for a jam game. Love the art style.
