The Mysterious UNIT-Y

Very cool idea with Storage Hunters. I liked the visual, animations, and content. I even managed to flex to the initial music. I advise you to slow down the collection of things a little and randomly generate the location of objects. Make more levels where you can lose money when buying a garage, when you open the 5th garage, you just start buying all the next ones without looking around, because there is no feeling of losing money or the opportunity to get into debt. Keep up the good work, you have a wonderful project!!!

It's a cool idea for a game, but it lacked progression. I'd like to be able to spend money on various upgrades.

I agree with the colleagues before me - great idea, really well executed. It lacks progression, or the ability to lose money, however what you have here looks great, sounds fantastic, plays really nice. Great project <3

Cool concept. Watching the value of everything get added up was satisfying. I liked the unit-y joke. It could use some more difficulty ramping. Past a certain point it seemed like there were enough items spawning and the profit margins were large enough that it felt impossible to lose just buying every unit.

This is so damn cool how does this only have such few ratings!!

The storage hunter premise fits the collector theme perfectly. LOVE the game's visuals. It's really enjoyable just looking at the spread of items in each one. Gameplay-wise it does get a little repetitive, especially when the later units all basically being crammed with every item available and the player strategy being reduced down to just a blind 5050 which does not have a lot of consequences. However, that is not to say it's any boring to play. Having a realisitc catalog along with the units' impeccable visuals makes me really immerse myself in the role of a storage hunter and enjoy just the overall mood a lot. Though one issue that did kind of bother me was that there does not seem to be a clear winning or end condition to the game, even when I got UNIT-Y, which I expected to do something special but it's just like any other regular unit aside from the visual joke. If you plan to further work on the game (which I think you really should), I feel like it would help with the current gameplay a lot to instead of just piling items, you should design more varieties of items and HIDE the high value items with each valuable unit only normally having 2-5 of them, that way I think it would truly feel like I'm searching for some exciting treasures in a sea of trash. Also I'd love to see more special units such as Unit-Y and that they do something special. Overall, amazing entry. Great game!

Also I agree with the previous comments. There should be some progression!

Cool game! I liked the concept and definitely something to build on towards a deeper progression. Thanks for sharing!

I just bought every time and didn't make profit one time and even that was -66 bucks, so not much challenge. Really cool idea though, like the graphics and the sound, I could totally see this being a sort of simulator game, where you have to do the sorting by hand, then can hire some ppl, buy some gadgets to better explore what's in the storage. All in all a very good entry. Good luck!

Concept was excellent!

Visuals are great and there's some pretty cool items inside. For some reason, the GPU on my old laptop goes up to 100% despite the small area of each unit, so it might be good to add some graphics settings.

This is one the best-packed games I played in this jam! Very fluid, easy to understand, fun to play and sticked to the theme. I immediately thought of tv shows of that sort, which I used to find cool. Praises to the entry music, I loved it! Good job :thumbsup:

p.s. I was lucky to find the mysterious Unit-Y room among the first ones! Lovely easter egg, shame I could not buy it xD

With a few more features, I think this could really hit the spot to a lot of "simulator" fans. I personally would spend hours storage-diving to try to turn a profit. I don't have the time or care to do it irl, but I would do a simulator version for sure!

I think you should try testing and rating about 20 games to increase your Karma and make your game more visible, so that other players can test it.

That's a nice game! Respect for 100% your own assets, that's remarkable.

This is really impressive. I liked to play it (a lot, made $30000+). It is the best entry I have played so far! 💗 Remarkable game! 😍 (and - do not tell to anyone - maybe a little bit addictive 📈)

Fun idea and visually super impressive! Really cool result. I found the Unit-Y, but somehow didn't quite get the joke 😅

Overall I earned around 21k - so I played for a bit. What bugged me the most was the UI design for the "result". As the cheapest things get added first, it is already cluttered when I arrive at the juicy items. It would be great to make it as a list: - 5x Box - 3x Trophy ...

And also show me the screen and wait for confirmation before continuing so I can enjoy my result :)

I really liked the idea, but felt the execution was a little bit wonky. It definitely felt a little easy in that most of the units I got made profit of thousands and the few that were losses were in the low hundreds max. I really liked the graphics and the little unity reference was nice good job. :thumbsup:
