非常有意思，用了四只手玩hhhh
想法很好，就是对手残党不太友好
Hello Tangling, The visual style of this game is really unique, and the auction mechanic is quite interesting! The controls feel a bit confusing and even frustrating at times — but it seems that might be intentional? If so, it does a great job of reinforcing the scene-based narrative.
Highlights: Distinctive pop-art and Japan-inspired visuals, with gameplay that feels tight and fast-paced. The combination of time pressure and precise input creates a very engaging core loop.
Points of confusion: The gameplay seems to revolve around a single, unchanging mechanic, which may cause players to lose interest over time. It’s not the kind of control scheme that’s immediately intuitive, yet the guidance and instructions aren’t very clear.Audio is barely satisfying.
VERY impressive UI/graphics. I think the automated "I want this" or "I don't want this" makes the game a tad too easy altough i still had fun. One frustrating little thing is that my german keyboard layout was not respected, turning my correct Z into a Y ;)
挺好看，我首先有点问题明白怎么赢
A particularly novel idea!! It's just that my fingers aren't flexible enough...
The mechanism is quite innovative and fits seamlessly with the overall narrative. The art style is distinctive and catching—good game!
The idea is so novel! The scene left a deep impression on me!
You really do a great job!!! The gameplay is so cooooool!!!!
腱鞘炎警告哈哈哈哈啊哈哈哈
Very fun idea of a typing game! Fun way to train your brain by trying to hold all the necessary buttons for the items that I want to purchase. Cool idea, well done :)
Very fun gameplay, at moments I felt like a clumsy octopus trying to get all my fingers in order. I think having the client say what they want or don't want outright sort of takes away an element of the game away, since choosing which client you pick and what they are interested in doesn't seem to change much from the player's perspective. I liked the mechanic of being able to take your finger off the key with a small window before you need to put it back again, but found that there wasn't much reason to adjust my fingers within a auction day. The art does a great job of tying everything together!
Thanks for uploading! Really liked the mechanic of this game and quickly trying to wager what I should keep holding on to based on both what it would be worth and what I could actively continue holding down on the keyboard. One thing that caused some strife (though it's not really on your hands) is keyboard limits on registering simultaneously held keys. It was pretty frustrating feeling like I could add another item onto my list and then be technologically incapable. It led to moments where I was capped out on keys, and was just waiting for the rest of the day to finish out. There was a couple issues with text placement when playing in fullscreen, but otherwise the visuals were super charming, and I liked seeing the different references in the collector items.
很有趣 恨不得把脚用上
Wow! This game is a ton of fun! Nice work
好强，居然只是两个人开发的！画面太棒了，玩法也很有意思，唯一不足的可能是没有bgm，听觉方面略显单调？不过总之是非常棒的游戏！👍🏻
It's very difficult. It would be better if it started easy and got harder over time.
I really enjoyed the game! Unfortunately, my hands are a bit too small to comfortably press all the buttons))
Interesting game with cool original core mechanics. I'm typing this with 8 left fingers after playing it.
